It's no more gay than any other sport. It seems pretty fucking crazy, it would be an awesome rush if you didn't die. That guy Jeffry Pain or whatever his name was that took silver had such a fucking crazy run. He bounced off like 3 walls and almost tipped.

that sport looks so intense and thrilling. How did that american athlete who went through depression and acloholism do?

with sports like that I always wonder how you get started in it and how you first learn to do it. So risky, those guys are nuts

Sure it is pretty crazy and i bet a huge rush to actually be DOING it...but the fact that 300 people in the world, 80 of which are in the US, actually DO skeleton...makes me kinda annoyed that it is represented as an olympic sport.

it looks so incredible when they hit such a track with their heads infront.

they get so fast, i think they almost cant crash without getting either some bones broken, thier skin burnt or some ligaments torn.
