compliments to the camera man absolutely brilliant. Thanks!

Super 👍👍👍👍👍😉

Go Hawks!

Is it bad that I don't actually care how a zamboni works, I just watched Deadpool, not that it isn't interesting, it is kindoff cool to see how Deadpool kills Ice Guy

What happened to your channel Maddeleine? Seems you had something good going if you kept it up.

incredible video

DAng this thing looks very mighty fast and strong thinking about getting one for my own place haha lol justkidding

There is also matted floors as well as sand and concrete. Mat floors are used for mobile or temporary rinks like what the winter classic is played on.

He may drive a Zamboni but I am willing to bet he never worked on one. Still good effort.

Great video! I subbed up to look for to more! Fire me back s sub I have many zam vids

For god sake, a little of maintenance at least fo the machine!

I used to think ice at a mall was the coolest thing until I started working for an ice rink 5 years ago. Took a trip recently to Iowa city and I insisted on going to the mall to skate until I got there, that ice hurts my skates just looking at it. It's cool but I just hate the way the ice looks, I don't think I could ever bring myself to skating on that ice again.

It really amazes me how universally simple working that tool looks to folks. It seems Everyone who watches a zam operate also sees it as one of the easiest jobs in the world. If what you see is a guy likely sitting down and turning right 180 degrees about 16 times during 8 to 9 laps and then casually leaving the ice, you would be grossly misreading the entire job. Most of you have absolutely no idea about how much science and understanding goes into the work apparently because there are so many clueless operators (many making youtube videos) who actually get paid driving these machines around thinking the same exact thing and perhaps why so very many rinks have crap ice. Just because you pick up a hammer and swing it does not make you a carpenter. Consistently making perfect ice is the difference. Does your driver flood the rink into a lake just before you play hockey? Then you are likely looking at a moron. Does your driver race the zam and finish in 6 minutes? You are likely watching moron hard at work then. Does the machine seem to be behaving as if its been beat to hell and runs like a jalopy? Strangely and despite how powerful and heavy the machine seems, It doesn't take long to murder a resurfacer with a broken maintenance plan and negligent operation. It isn't easy folks. It only looks easy due to many, many, many hours of labor doing it right after being taught how to do it right. Many of the rinks I've seen have incestuous training programs that started with ignorance. Any 16 year old with a license can drive the machine around for 15 minutes. Is your driver an expert or merely think he is? Perfect ice every time before and after any and all types of programing takes a lot of thought and understanding and information. Does the surface remain exactly the same depth year after year without scraping paint or burying it under inches and inches of ice? And I haven't even mentioned the refrigeration study. And who in their right mind would assume anyone is recycling the snow? would you expect to recycle dirty mop bucket water? Gross. Think about this next time you reach to grab snow from your rink floor: Gentlemen, snow tank contents include from time to time; sweat, spit, snot, blood, hair, urine, puke, and many other toxic fluids, various metal; ie-coins, keys, pendants/jewelry, hockey gear screws and rivets and threads, plastic and paper trash; ie-mouthguards, gum wrappers, and of course the same dust and dirt and filth you'd expect to find on any floor. just because it's cold doesn't change that its a floor, same as any other. surprisingly, the one thing you shouldn't find in the snow tank is a puck because the machine doesn't swallow those very well at all so, to All of you who either leave the pucks accidentally of on purpose thinking "the zam will get it" are hurting, no destroying, your machines ability to operate properly by bending the augers and eventually punching a hole in the tank lid. simply put, you are hurting your chances for the operator to leave you an exceptional skate surface for your activities by ruining your $85K machine, give or take a few bucks. Yes, buying a zam is similar to buying a Porsche and should be treated with so much respect. The Zamboni is absolutely the best most amazing tool invented for creating fantastic ice but its still only as good as the operator. No offense to any other resurfacer operators out there.

"In here is a very sharp blade".. *sticks hands inside* lol

hahahaha you can find anything on youtube.

He's not that bad! Maybe he is a little shy. He did well. Good education. :)

my comment is the firs thing thatt yuo must do beforeexplaining , how it worcks the Zamboni , is the sefty rules, i could see that do not turn off the machine, when yuo started to explain how it worck, I hopein the nex explicaccion take into account my comment yuo friend Jhon Chilaver Valgreen.

Not usually. The snow taken off is often dirty from skaters transferring dirt from the floor to the ice via their skates, not to mention the occasional dropped sweet wrapper etc. Heating the snow to melt it and then filtering it would be expensive so you may as well use fresh water!

when the "snow" is dumped do they keep it and heat it and apply it back on the ice later?

Same here, it's so hypnotic haha.

He really isn't that bad. I think that's a typical amount of anxiety for a regular person on camera... Good explanation.

My kid went skating for the first time today and was fascinated with the Zamboni ("clean up machine"). Sadly I did not take video of it, but yours has "scratched that itch." Thanks.

Why do you sound so nervous lol.

YAAA i was there and i remember looking at people and thinking that they were idiots with their cards on the wrong side and as i was saying something to my dad he said that i had my card the wrong way the whole time!

GO hawkeyes !!!

From a Michigan fan NICE WORK IOWA. They're doing a card stunt this week when Michigan plays Nebraska in Ann Arbor, hopefully it is just as successful (American flag card stunt during the national anthem)

@sills66 And then we beat Michigan the following week. Iowa could lose to the worst team in the nation and then the next week beat the #1 seat. Its how Iowa plays.

@sills66 What? Do you think before you type? Oh, sorry, let me put it in a way your mind can understand: Hey, do u underztand wat imma telling u? Kewl, ok.

As a Michigan fan, and after seeing this, Im not even mad/bitter we lost to them this past weekend...

@sills66 but we beat michigan.

@icecreampotato A chance, but it won't happen.

@Moocow002 Your right about our schedule being to weak but at least our team gives us a chance to get to the championship, instead of losing weak two.

@icecreampotato So a Boise St fan telling Iowa to do something that BSU will likely never do? You guys are good but won't make it to a BCS title game with their weak schedule.

GO HAWKS!!!!!

@Moocow002 Boise State University

Wow, you Hawkeyes slayed this better than you slayed my Spartans last year. This is REALLY awesome!

@LeoChevii Nobody gives a fuck about what they do in Europe. This is football...you know, a real sport.

@G0o0sie Because our sport is what is more important, no animation is needed.

@wade2bosh They had them on our seats when we came in, much like some universities leave pom poms/towels for big games.

Nice.

did the fans pay for the "card stunt"...or the front office...

@LeoChevii Who landed on the moon. Just saying. Who won the revolutionary war. Just saying. Who saved your ass countless times during war. Just saying.

@icecreampotato Which college team do you support???

This is awesome.

5 people in a line at my high school couldn't even do the crowd wave in the order o.o

@heavenlydst21 I agree! I just moved to PHX from Iowa City and I'll tell ya what... pretty tough being this far away from Iowa Football.

@MsBonesnscones Iowa State fans don't have to become a douche-bag... they're born with it. You may have won the game this year, but you lost at life.

you got not animation, no effects, so unoriginal

LOL, compare with /watch?v=6BaY9WneGaQ, this is nothing

Hey Yanks, they've been doing this in Europe for YEARS. Just saying.
