This would be fun to do.

Seems to scrub speed off fast for no brakes. Must need to have the bearings serviced

Hell yes, looks like fun

Gotta be a seatbelt on that thing

That looks like a lot of fun! Especially toward the end. And the view is absolutely amazing. Would love to do that

they need another rail next to that one of equal length and angles... then have some races...

**KahanaReef** · 11-23-2011, 12:49 PM

That would work too

Current setup is more like autocross, just try to beat your own time.

I agree, that looks like a blast.

i think it scrubs off speed due to the turns. that's why there are no LONG straights. Once you build up speed it curves and scrubs it off. Much like pilots due on steep descents.

My father just showed this to me on wednesday. It does look awesome. There's some alpine slides here in the US too. I know one in Bromley VT. of course those are like single seat bobsleds and you have a brake. My father overturned one of em and rode down the hill on his forearms. Wasn't pretty when he got to the bottom. lol. I think the danger makes it even more exciting

That one has a brake as well. The video taker claims to have not used it on this run. There's plenty of places where the track levels off staying straight and speed drops off too quick. I suppose it could be going up hill and its not noticable also
