Re: Safe Travels back to Jamaica Jermain!

While Newton and Lance compete in the Stagestop race in Wyoming, Jermain is on his way back to Jamaica today. So sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you this year, maybe life will slow down and I'll catch up with you next time Jermain!

Re: Cool Mushings-the movie

Ohhhh Cool Mushings looks to be one hell of a movie! Coming out soon, I hope!

Turn up your sound and put it on full screen, guaranteed to blow your socks off! (and pull at your heart and make you proud and maybe even make you shed a tear or two)...

Re: Cool Mushings-the movie

Is OK Jazz, I had a good cry too. Newton is one extraordinary human being. The part where Lance told him &quot;It was all YOU, it was all you&quot;...I just lost it. Lance is another extraordinary man, and the two of them are amazing together! What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall sometimes!

Re: Cool Mushings-the movie

I think a lot of the emotion we feel for Newton and the team is because we have been following their journey almost since the beginning. They are amazing!


Have to say though, although I think Jermain may only be around for a few years, I think he is looking for bigger things in his future, but I feel he has a different kind of drive which could put him way out in front next season.

Re: Iditarod Starts Tomorrow! Rootin For Newton!

Tomorrow is the start of the 2011 Iditarod &amp; Newton and Lance are in Anchorage ready for the challenge.

Newton will be #6 out of the chute!

The Last Great Race on Earth....Good luck to you both!

Stay tuned..

Official re-start on Sunday that's when the real fun begins!

I just renewed my Insider subscription with GPS tracking so I will be able to watch the Musher's dots move across the Alaska map, and video from on the trail, which will make it easier to report any news.

They also have free coverage and some video too, at the Iditarod website:
