Thredbo Bobsled

So I was a bit of a geek yesterday and video my ride on the Bobsled. This was taken from about half way.

And yes I wasn’t going as fast as I could!

Every year I have a dig at the bobsled. Usually I’m in too “happy” a mood to bother with a camera (but have always meant to).

I didn’t know they have brakes, the last run I did in Sept I flipped on one of the last bends, held onto the sled while sliding on my back and managed to upright it and keep going. I know people that have been thrown out of the track!

I think the Thredbo track is the longest in Australia (I know it was years ago)
