Four man Bobsled

Watching the 4 man bobsled yesterday reminded me of Gloria and my experience at Lake Placid NY in 2014.

At Lake Placid you can ride the older concrete bob sled run. They put wheels on the sleds and take 2 passengers down the run.

It's pretty scary once you get there and realize there are no rails or anything to keep you on the track. It's up to the driver (steerer) to keep you on the track and right side up.

Below is a video from Gloria's helmet cam, so you are seeing it from the 3rd seat. Thats me in front of her. We didn't hit a speed of 89mph but you do go plenty fast enough and you get thrown around a bit. Gloria was bruised up a bit from it.

View it large screen for full effect. I know that this blog site does a terrible job of video, but here goes.
