Bobsleigh For Four
What is Bobsleigh? Put simply, its two or four members trying to get a bobsleigh down to the bottom of an icey track as quick as possible. It begins by pushing the bob off the start and everyone quickly getting in. This is the most important part of the run as a lot of time can be lost. During an Olympic run the bob can achieve speeds approaching 90mph and the passengers can pull up to 6g in the corners! The same as Formula 1 cars! Once in, the crew keep their heads down, forming a compact surface with minimum drag until they reach the end, when they can finally catch their breath.ProgrammeOn the day the high performance coaches will guide you through the skills and strategies required for the Formula One of ice sports to make your experience exhilarating, fun, and safe. The session
starts with an introduction to the simulated bob run, then its a thorough safety briefing. Once you are kitted out with the correct safety gear, its out to the track to learn the sport and techniques used.
