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 but 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! oh my god!
which is lucky for me, because it means i can try it out. but having a look, i don t feel so lucky. ok, let s go. get the team together. we re about to set off 100km down a very icy hill, but, luckily, i have an expert pilot. fingers crossed everything goes very smoothly. apart from the pilot steering the bobsleigh from the front, a team also includes pushers and a brakeman. but tourists get it easy theyjust need to duck and hold very tight. this track is almost 1500 metres long and you need a pretty strong stomach to manage its 16 curves.
to enjoy this landscape. to finish up this week, no doubt one of the most intense experiences i have had on the travel show. a couple of years ago, i went to latvia, to visit a bobsleigh run used by winter 0lympians and the odd tourist who is brave enough to give it a go. for some reason, the producer decided that included me. welcome to sigulda s bobsleigh track, one of the very few in the world where tourists can get the same adrenaline rush as professional racers. built under the soviet union in 1986, the track has played host to international competitions in luge, skeleton, and bobsleigh rides, with some obvious success. the track is now used as a training venue for several latvian champions, but there are no competitions on today,
the fastest ride, but seems to be the smoothest and most magical way to enjoy this landscape. to finish up this week, no doubt one of the most intense experiences i have had on the travel show. a couple of years ago, i went to latvia, to visit a bobsleigh run used by winter olympians and the odd tourist who is brave enough to give it a go. for some reason, the producer decided that included me. welcome to sigulda s bobsleigh track, one of the very few in the world where tourists can get the same adrenaline rush as professional racers. built under the soviet union in 1986, the track has played host to international competitions in luge, skeleton, and bobsleigh rides, with some obvious success. the track is now used as a training venue for several latvian champions, but there are no competitions on today, which is lucky for me, because it means i can try it out.
