How do you explain us taking gold in the luge then because the luge


I put most of that down to the fact there is little skill involved... it's all about the start... and we have a start track in Bristol...


little skill, LITTLE SKILL! I don't even have to say anything about that comment you already know it was stupid, Do i have to remind you what happened on the same track at the olympics.


meh, I'm pretty certain we won gold in the skeleton bob... I don't think there is a great deal of steering involved in that... other than that good point...

You realize there is more than one type of Luge event?

Amy Williams won Gold for the Women's Skeleton Bob.


I've ridden Superpipes in a number of resorts, the walls are freaking huge, I don't think when you see them on TV that you really see that!

The thing is, you don't often tend to find so many smaller halfpipes about, which are great for learning and getting your confidence for launching out of.

I also remember that Pipe they built at MK. If I remember correctly, you also had to pay extra to use it and it did look somewhat rickety. Nobody was riding it though, probably why they didn't bother again.

I think they are called Ice Sliding sports... and they encompass Luge, Skele and Bob... I think Cresta may try and claim something too...
