Three things:

1. Definitely new item on my bucket list!
2. Looks like rider is in control of brakes, so shouldn't get behind a slow poke!
3. How do they get the sleds back to the top?

Thanks, Binky, for the ride.

LOVE the vid - despite getting car-sick :)

3. Lots of those places have chain or cable systems to get the cars to the top.



Thanks, Binky, for the ride.

Hot.

Nice!

I figured it was on a loop back to the start. I wish they had not used that goofy music soundtrack. Natural sounds would have been more appealing to me.

Is this in Switzerland?

It's in Austria. Even at my age, and since I ain't dead yet, that ride sure looks like the ultimate blast. That was awesome.

I got a kick out of hearing the grunts and groans the rider made. You're welcome. Just thought others might appreciate a good ride down a mountain like I did. :coffee:

I always appreciate a good ride, no matter how fast/slow, short/long.
