What it Feels Like to Slide Downhill at 90 M.P.H.

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.พ. 2018
- John Daly is an American skeleton racer and a two-time Olympic athlete. Sliding face-down, head-first on a slick bobsled track at 90 mph might sound insane, but for Daly, it’s the thrill that keeps him coming back. For the past 15 years, he’s been putting his life on the line while racing at breakneck speeds.

I don't know how he can run to get enough speed with those huge balls of steel
Pervert,who was talking about that.Get a life pervert
Well basically hes going down hill so the laws of physics give his huge balls of steel a weight advantage making him create a sonic boom as soon as his balls hit the sled

@Joseph Falasca nah it's like rougher american football I guess
@@hangyeoltarbutton6193 waaay rougher. No helmets, pads, only mouth guards. The rules are stricter too.
@@paarthurwax2522 american football padding is hard so it doesn't do shit, a hit wearing pads hurts like a mf
@@heavenascended still, rugby has a lot of oversights, like you can legally beat someone up in certain circumstances
@@heavenascended but I hit without pads hurts more
Imagine you sneeze while on top speed...
Abec777 Hondatech forget sneezing, I was sick a few times with the G-Forces on big bends. Not nice with a full face helmet half way through a run...!
You mean "roller coaster sick" well that might be bad too yes. Ouch.
Full on fill your visor sick...! Not ideal when you are trying to see the next bend....!
🤣🤣
how my grandparents say they went to school
Looks intense. But not as intense as Finding good hotel prices.
Trivago has hundreds of great deals for a fraction of the price.
Hotel? Trivago.
Oof
You’re a sell out micheal
What's up with Trivago''s low stock price? Is company struggling?
Trivago,
Our stock prices are as low as hotel prices.
hahaha yesssss even lower than prices during low peak seasons.

stolen comment but ok 😌
pumpkin head ...i dont think so just because somebody makes a joke doesnt mean i stole it there are always a lot of comments and nobody would read them all to make sure theirs is 100% original
That feeling! The best ever just being stoked!
It’s a shame this video is so short. This sport is really cool
this is really interesting. wish it longer and know more about how he started. and it could have been more cool to see his face too hahhaha this is very nice that it's like celebrating the winter olympics
0:09 when mom yells “dinner’s ready!”
the most frightening winter sport for me. I am scared going above 70 kph on ski and these guys are rushing way faster through a concret hard ice channel. my respect
Nils Klingebiel IMO Skeleton is much safer than skiing...!
steve anson since when dude a person died 2 olimpics ago
dont have a coffee table man ok That is correct, a luge athlete from Georgia called Nodar Kumaritashvili sadly died at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Whistler. However, that is a completely different sport, Luge and Bobsleigh have had a number of serious injuries and deaths. This clip is about the sport of Skeleton.
steve anson alright but my point still stands
Your point if worthless, he states "people have died doing this". As I have already stated, luge is much more dangerous than Skeleton. Your comment is the same as someone starting a race around a motor racing track in your family car knowing that people have died in racing cars. Same track, different levels of danger.
As a person who has been involved with the sport of Skeleton for the past 22 years. I stand by my original statement that I am not sure it makes the sport sound any better making a statement like he did to a large audience.
I’m taking a flight to Canada right now
Oh my goodness it looks fun and scary!!! Good job!
Absolutely amazing
Thanks for the advice bro
This is cool seeing that I have gone down this track too, only I did luge instead. I was watching to see if this was shot in lake placid, and it was! Cool
You can’t comprehend the speed I go up the stairs when I turn off the lights
This is one of my favorite sports to watch.
Love it. Great vid!
AHHH, YOUR UPLOADING MORE!
This looks like so much fun.
“So you wanna go penguin sledding with me!!”
How amazing!
This the extreme version of the gym scooters form school
I'm digging the flash gloves
Looks mad fun
All I heard was "blah blah people have died."
Nah... I'm straight fam. More power to you my guy.
Cyber bullying go to hell
@@emergencyfoodpaimon7122 *wat*
@@emergencyfoodpaimon7122 I didn't think I was bullying anyone. I was just saying that the narrator stating "people have died" caught my attention more than anything else. And was also praising this guy for doing what he does even though it's super dangerous.
My favorite episode of Pop Team Epic
Nice cinematic!!
This is so cool.. 😊😊
Union Pacific: GOING 90 MILES AN HOUR!
John Daly: IS SO DAMN FUN
This seems super fun honestly
This is one of those sports that no one talks abt but is so badass
That's amazing and terrifying.
crazy sport! go olympics!
Looks awesome and scary! !!
Two things well three things I like. They all involve speed. First 70MPH on a bicycle with the attendant huge hill and a speedo on the bike. Second the Moutain Slide at Attitash in New Hampshire. Something about flying down the side of a mountain on a little plastic cart. Then of course there are cars - getting them up to red line and getting them to 100MPH as fast as I can.
That looks so fun
The first thing that popped up when he said "people have died doing this" is the horrible practice crash when a rookie crashed straight into a concrete pole
Those Flash gloves do look dope.
Wow lake placid just went there and saw the track
woah a real life hotwheel track and vehicle
And it feels so good oh yeah
Goin fast makes him feel alive. His heart beat in hyperdrive.
This type of enjoyment is the type of enjoyment you experience when you swerve to avoid an accident. Not the type of enjoyment you'd choose if you were on a relaxing break.
What a way for transportation
Shout out to John
great big story. literally
Cold
Nobody:
Me:they oughta put a ramp at the end
Bruh.... you know you couldve just typed your comment without the whole "nobody:" thing right? I swear memes are slowly taking away man's ability to produce an original thought
only something this intense can earn the name 'skeleton'
I feel it all the time it’s called my *life*
Finally I have heard The Stig’s voice !
That looks fun
Home baby!
Professional sledding is crazy, man.
Nice
Imagine just on a sled like that and just humming bloody stream while he waits to finish
This is the way
As he’s going I imagine the start of cars... “I am speed...”
Oh wow
Dope
@0:09 me running out the hall on the last day of school!
Cool
Mate you’re properly crazy good on you do whatever you like
That was the best
90mi per hour sounds fun as hell!!
That was in NY LAKE PLACID
Nice tide ad
This would be amazing in vr wow
We learned about this is class JUST YESTERDAY :OO
Well THIS, I wish, was about 15min longer w highlights
Once upon a time, there lived someone who thought sledding needs to be scary.
People who do must have soo much confidence
"But going 90 mph, is so damn fun" I could not agree more
Whoa where to do this?
hardest sport hands down
Super...
that would be pretty terrifying the first time
This is how you describe anxiety
