Bobsledding Pt. 1

Brett enrolled himself in a week's worth of bobsleigh driving school which saw Brett and seven others take in about 14 runs. The students paired up and took turns being the driver and the brakeman.

Speeds attained from the Damen start were approximately 85 km/hr. Top right: Volunteer, and bobsleigh guru, Willy, help prepare the sleds. This view shows the entrance to the first turn from the Damen start location. Photo left: Students arrange the second sled as the first one vanishes into the track.
