Yes, curling.

Equal parts bowling, hockey, archery, and housecleaning.

I love it.

Here is a Shockwave version for you to enjoy:

Fuck yes. Especially the present Danish women's team.

I got into it sort of on a dare. A Canadian pal of mine told me "you're photographing a lot of fringe sports, right? Go shoot some curling, that's about as fringe as you can get in the US"

There's a team that practices up in Rye, NY (where the Rangers practice) and I got to go there. It was insane!

Another curling bonus: Tim Horton's sponsorship.

I just love this sport.

One of the commentators on Eurosport frequently calls it "chess on ice." I couldn't agree more.

Also, watching Scandinavian women yell/groan at eachother to sweep faster is just...weird. But good weird.

Not Crap. The only sport in the world that isn't complete dogshit.

not crap...never played it...probably never will...can't say i'd ever have an urge to watch anyone play it...

but i can't in good conscience call something named "curling" crap...

They're actually holding the national curling championships in my city at the end of 2005. I'm not kidding at all. If you want to go you can sleep on my couch.
