USA Win 4-Man Bobsleigh Gold - Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics 

RIP Steven Holcomb.

Ok

You’re wrong. Germany and USA just switched flags. Did you not get the memo?

It's the guy from air crash investigations

Guy sounds British. What can you expect?

That's the only thing that makes this worth watching

Yessir! My favorite movie 💪

Yessir

Noice

God bless you both

@@silvergold9050 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Congrats to him, and of course, you

I get that comparison but it's more like F1. The difference is roller coasters are engineered for safety, whereas in bobsled your driver is in control, and anything short of precision can be lethal.

A deadly rollercoaster that you're in control of, yes

no there have been several fatalities durring the winter olympics bobsledding events. Theyre horrific to watch.

1000 times more dangerous

A roller coaster without the repetitive and redundant safety checks and no tracks and FAR more likely to cause a horrific accident, but otherwise yeah.

lmfao

Ha! Get it?

yes

Killed it for me..

You get in and sit down.

parents with money

I know I’m 3 years late but still. This is for qualifying in America. So the process takes time. It may be a year or 2 until you get into a sled, but first step is try out or get recruited. You’ll probably want to do the prior unless your in the top 10% of sprinters and weigh near 200 lbs, but you’ll try out at a combine somewhere across the country. Consistently they are at the Olympic training centers, and then wait until you get contacted. If you are under 18 years old things will be very rough as there have only been two to qualify at that age and one to remain that age during training (Me 😊). You may need your legal guardian to contact the team for you (ONLY DO THIS IF YOU KNOW YOU QUALIFIED AT A COMBINE). So you qualified (HURRAY) you will eventually get an invite to a rookie camp or train with the team. You are now doing the sport. Oh wait you want to go to the Olympics. Here are the steps. Perfect your technique and try to take a spot on one of the 3 best teams in the nation. Compete and get familiar with the sport and its environment. If you make it to the World Cup (top level) you have almost a perfect chance of going to the Olympics. Hope this helps. sorry I’m late and how long it is.

Good luck!

You first get into soapbox racing and join Olympics. If it’s Jamaica, it’s even better

It helps that I rewatched cool runnings a few days prior to watching this 😂

That movie was the first time I ever saw black people (I grew up in Svalbard)

Golden Retriever both. It might be a regional thing.

Dude was actually legally blind and died around the time of your comment. (whether it was a suicide or fluid in the lungs is still unknown).

@@theguy1633 wdym?

@@theguy1633 what?

@@ashlynsmith7995 Pretty sure he mixed medication and passed away. I forgot his name though.

That weight up front works!

😂😂😂😂

I'd suggest watching some gopro bobsled footage. It's much harder than it looks.

I agree. The only risks if you get it wrong is being paralyzed or death.

Never watched Cool Runnings I see.

Milford Cubicle bobsledding is hella hard.

Ain't that easy, the entire team needs coordination and weight control.

Sport is generally thought of as physical competition while gaming competitions are simply gaming competitions such as chess

Have you done anything with your life as significant as win a gold medal at the Olympics?

To steer

They aren’t...

How is snowboarding? Looks like juvenile deliquents..

elite speed and strength at the start, the man in front steers the sled, and the man in the back handles braking.

@Arne yes but how?

@Arne what skills do you improve to decrease your time?

aerodynamics, body physics - how to counter G forces and use them to your advantage. Very tiring sport

A person could say in professional basketball only tall guys are likely to win. In every sport the physical advantages that can give a person a competitive edge are known. Those things are a given. I think we should give more attention to the skill in memorizing tracks, piloting, mastering the pushoff, navigating parts of the track with more or less friction, etc. The competitors are all heavy and strong what makes more of a difference is skill, luck, and how well funded their program is. The engineering behind the sleighs is a good point you made. Some countries can afford to have the best engineers design the most aerodynamic sleigh out of expensive materials. I think that's where merit as well as margins are in question.

@@Dim.g0v That may be true, but there have only been 25 NBA players less than the average height of all men, out of 4,374 of all time. That's barely half a percent. And NBA players aren't relying almost purely on simple physics for 95% of the time.

@@RipleySawzen I think you're looking too deeply into the analogy and I took time to touch on the parts of the sport outside of the sledder's control.

I would eliminate a quarter of the nonsense categories in the Olympics...summer and winter...

nope and ýes

Yeah, the person in the front steers so they have to line everything up perfectly so that they can go fast but not fall off the track It actually takes a lot of training

@@LlamasAtMidnight that's what I meant

Because he is

Maria Uribe It is harder than it looks, watch a gopro video of it

Could you blame the coach? I mean, look at those absolute DUMPTRUCKS and tell me you wouldn't grab a handful

@@mme9646 No I cannot blame him, those asses are 🔥🔥🔥

Edward V Ass slapping happens in virtually every sport

@@calvinnotklein6368 I can do w/o it...

@@calvinnotklein6368 - Not the way it was seen in that video. Normally the slapping of butts might happen after you make a great play, not before you start playing. Maybe that guy just likes to touch a butt.

finisher3x Eh that’s debatable. It’s bobsledding. You really can only say you made a great play after EVERYTHING is over. Plus you know to just hype them up. I see it happen more in high school football anyways before the game.

@@calvinnotklein6368 - No way. I've never seen coaches or players smack each other on the butt before the game, in high school or any level. During the game and after great plays, yes.

There's more to it than that.

@@2cache504 I know I've watched Cool runnings. 😂

They are controlling the sled and have to take the best turns to win as fast as they can
