    What an amazing sport. Thank goodness there are thrill-seekers around who want to do something as crazy as this!

    how do beginners get into this?

      Find a track close to you and call up the front desk. Say "hey, I want to do Skeleton"
      Where do you live?

      +Eric McLeod is this like bodyboarding?

      Ooh.. Hawaii is a great place to live, unless you want to slide Skeleton. The nearest tracks to you are stateside. Park City, Utah, and Lake Placid, New York.
      It is sort of like bodyboarding, except a lot faster, and a lot more physics are involved.

      I want to try the sport, too! I thought I had a challenge living in California but Hawaii is tougher. Don't give up, +pumpSHO! I tweeted the USA Bobsled and Skeleton today and they said to attend one of their "combines" in the summer. I think the nearest one could be in the West Coast for you.

    unfortunately is an expensive sport and very hard to find tracks.. in Austria, Ischgl, They want almost 40 euro at session if you don't are in a ski club

      A lot of the most interesting sports are like this unfortunately. I mean, you say 40 euro a session (what is that in Canadian dollars? 60$ or so?), but that's nothing compared to a lot of sports. You're not going to be doing any motor racing at all unless you've got thousands upon thousands of dollars to burn. I used to play curling a lot, and if you're not a club member or in a league then you'd be paying more than that to get some ice time, and even if you are in a club or on a moderately competitive team them membership fees can be hundreds of dollars a year. And then there's the shoes and the broom as well, which are at least 100$ each.
      Frankly, for 40 euro a session, assuming a session is a couple of hours, that actually seems not so bad.

      Not Ischgl but Igls in Innsbruck :) That are two different places. But 40 euros seems very expensive unless it covers also renting the sled. As far as I'm aware one run at Igls cost about 30 euro gross, but we are talking abt fees for athletes with own equipment, IBSF sporting license and coarching. Igls has something that is called "Gaesteskeleton" but I'm sure that it is much expensive as it needs to cover coach salary also.

    • @edgarsedijskuklis760
      @edgarsedijskuklis760 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      1.fat people can't win
      2. No it doesn't (if you think about personality as discipline then in every sport it matters the most)
      3.they don't win
      4. You're just a dumb person

    where is the science of it? how do they steer. I was also expecting more skeletal footage. disliked...

    • @jonjeffries3600
      @jonjeffries3600 11 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      She clearly said that they steer with their heads, feet, and shoulders. Also the title is The Art of Skeleton not Skeleton footage. Maybe you should use your brain before you sound like an idiot next time
