Bobsledding in the Summer

Anyone who's been within 5 feet of my physical or online presence this last week knows that I've went BOBSLEDDING. It was really fun and scary!! I thought I'd post about it for the record.

Utah's Olympic Park - the remnant mountain games setup from 2002 - now features an amazing museum & activities complex, including the world's steepest zipline and summer bobsledding.


Tucked behind the trained driver (above), I followed the instructions to press my arms against the side, keep my head from knocking the others, and not to squeeze the driver too hard with my legs.

I was scared, but as we all know from watching the Olympics (& Jerry Seinfeld), that bobsledding is the one sport "someone could involuntarily win the Gold medal," if thrown in. I figured I'd survive.
Ski jumping is also a summer sport in Utah - pretty cool. I also visited on the Sunday before, where 10 year olds were jumping off the ramps, just like this was the normal water-pool-time sport in PC.
