and we did many runs here. for learning, it is great. i agree, because if you learn and you can survive here, then you can survive anywhere. you must love the sport to devote so much of your life to it. what do you love about it? i don t like trainings and this stuff, but i love competition. so that is the best part for me. i don t think i m ready to try one of the full blown skeletons, but there is a tourist version available that is a little more my speed. wish me luck! it s called a frog, and for this one, there is no crew to make me feel safe. 0h! oh, my goodness!
