Have you ever heard of it before?

I hadn't.
WOW! I kinda like this event.

Hmm.

Another winter sport that puts still more life and limb at risk of harm and mischief.

That's cool.

It's funny most of the ski events in the Olympics I reckon I'd enjoy skiing the course, no where near as well or fast, but I could find my line through each course (excluding the massive kickers). But there is no way I would be able to skate that course, my skating is no where near as good as my skiing.

I skate OK. But there is NO WAY I could do that.

I thought the bobsledders were nuts....
These guys have balls of steel!

I like the contrast of Plaavo Klintrup's eloquent and articulate assessment of his semi versus tohe American brothers just opined "Finals! Yeah baby! Wooh!".
That is a crazy and scary sport.

Whist I love some of the natural European courses on rivers, the red bull tracks are next level excitement.

Has to rate an Olympic appearance soon
