Don't Try This at Home: ATVs on Ice

YouTube strikes again! As we were combing the on-line universe for the latest and greatest ATV action, we stumbled (pardon the pun) across this gem of a video featuring two guys having a little trouble getting an ATV off a patch of ice.

We offer this video to you not as a means to teach you anything or to give you any insight whatsoever into the fine sport of ATV riding. Instead, we present this video only to brighten your day as you can’t help but laugh when you see people slip, slide, and fall on the ice.

After a minute or so we found ourselves pushing for our two heroes to finally make some headway on their slippery escapade. Alas, we never find out how (or if) the Honda sport quad makes its escape. Hopefully they didn’t have to wait until spring. Check out the video after the break.

Video Game Review – Snow ATV
In our efforts to help you waste as much time at work as possible, we stumbled across a free ATV game you may be interested in – Snow ATV.

Unlike basically everything other ATV game we’ve seen, Snow ATV is not racing game or a freestyle game. It’s set up more as an ATV obstacle course.

As it’s completely free (except for the 30 second advertisement at the beginning), there’s really not a lot too Snow ATV. Controls are very simple – everything is controlled with the arrow keys. We found the controls to be pretty touchy, but you’ll get the hang of things in a few minutes.

The game is broken down into levels and each level is basically a straight line – no turns at all. Of course, there are plenty of obstacles in the way. You’ll have to climb over rocks, trees, tires, cars across a slippery snowy landscape.
