I hear that the off-road version of Curlingis quite exciting. No brooms. Just sledge hammers. The idea is to Pound the large stones of the other team into powder so that your stones may continue on down the rather short course---. It's only 5 feet long. Pretty frantic action though. Many broken toes. And guys are being hauled to the hospital one after the other----------in toe trucks.
