Im watching that too I still don't think that brushing the ice makes any difference

Is the brushing to speed up the stone, slow it down, change direction or what?

I have no idea lol, just for dramatic effect I think.

polishes the ice to reduce the drag in front of the stone, can also alter the direction very slightly too

OMG I said it reduces the drag by polishing the ice. if they just let it go it will slow down because ofthe friction, by polishing the bumps out with the brush stops it from slowing down and can alter its direction slightly

Pete's excellent research says it's more a matter of melting rather than polishing.

This AI lark looks like a good idea. I might give it a try sometime
