the biggest i sculpture in the world. every year it's rebuilt by hand for the world's best skeleton pilots and pops let his book can it everyone knows bob sledge, and if anyone asks me what it is, i just showed them a video since i did, they say things like, wow, that must be dangerous. to hear folk, a fairly bobsled and skeleton both started inside, but it's so how are they invented and how do you build a bob run in 3 weeks despite freezing temperatures? discount just a call. yes, it got was minus 38 degrees. if your trousers get wet, they free up. when you take them off with a whole their shape like them a see? i was teeth actually it's emotional. miramar, because the cold doesn't bother me. summer effects me more off with

the small town of something or it's in the swiss alps is a winters 4th paradise for people with money, lots of money, luxury hotels, brands and restaurants abound. all sorts of events take place to keep the rich and famous entertained. a frozen lake becomes an arena for everything from polo to crickets, and even horse racing. but summer, it was also the birthplace of bob sledding and skeleton, and they require a top class track. thank you for your money per kilometer. whatever. because we bought the fi nicer. up with you down the slope blue. there it is. the olympic bob run is 1.7 kilometers long with the descent of one evan centimeters. those other numbers. and here's the real thing. every year in late
5:19 am
november 15 men can't isn't loretta from italian south to rolled to build the wolves. only natural track for most of the year. these bob run experts good as builders and conferences. those, the one to work on this project have to love cold weather. otherwise the things get tough. peter, god knows all about that. but my mouth, so you definitely feel the cold in your body. it freezes your no rush, your cheeks feel heavy and speaking is difficult. i know via a cold can get pretty brutal here. got some side lusty. she'll get out of my eye making the wall of the overhang above the curve so that the bombs letters aren't in danger of flying off the track on the corner due to the high speeds. lauve, as the proof adopted hawkish ring because without complete building a natural track as a work of art for the perfect bub run. the snow is made artificially with
5:20 am
a snow gun. although it's created without chemicals, it's mixed with water until it achieves a pudding like consistency. there latortia who the natural didn't know wouldn't work as well as material for the tract. so because it's too soft, you can't take as much pressure or the same load, the fuss of cushioning, artificial snow, soaks up the waters, me, it becomes heavier, softer, and then easier to work with a lot about them. as it's all of water, it freezes off of this and can keep taking the strain, kind on him of i of i thought and blasted them. that's how the oldest bobsled track in the world is gradually rebuilt, year on year, just a few weeks before the world's best riders are due to crashed down the coast. i've had knows every centimeter off the track. he's worked on it since 1981 and owns the sacred note book containing the rough calls. the rest is about judgment,
5:21 am
instinct and experience, which he has in spades, pursued records is quite old. a business, it's the pizza notebook, with all the measurements is at least 20 years old, super somacki all halter thought homer. we have various measuring the points. for example, the red plugs ok 2nd, the junction box doors to shore caution, who thought the the hydrant is further forward? don't go home, right? so we have 5 measuring points in the portal, go corner was the home and thought that there's some leeway. it doesn't have to be down to the centimeter, but if you got the measurements, it makes life easier throughout the life work. oh, so how did all this begin? in $1885.00, a group of brits built the 1st ever ice track between krista and somewhat it's the crest to run for participants, slid down hill headfirst and faced down on sleds known as christos, full years later, another bridge by the name of wilson smith tied 2 slaves and a board together with string. and so the 1st bob smith was born. this created
5:22 am
a rivalry between, bob said and krista uses of the press to run became too tight for the heavier foster bobs. they needed something new ah. so and 19 o full, the 1st olympic barbara was built. meanwhile, crest us letting became known a skeleton soccer sh meat was 12 when she 1st tried the sport. now she's one of switzerland's best skeleton, talons ah, the f o. they used to be made of wood. now our sleds are all steel and carbon fiber . they used to have a cushion. now there's a neoprene layer painted by there's the board to lie on and you can keep yourself steady with your. this is don christopher. these to have holes on the sides, which people use to keep stable. doubtful le, here. once with gothic gal. yes
5:23 am
. are you ready? stunning. so i will, i'll be going down this in about 2 weeks. and you can't really see it yet. see, but i'm sure they'll get it done over those clean dish on him. so they go, excuse me, that you don't hear me. the truck has to be ready in 10 days. then i will be able to test it out. she lives with her family practically next to the run. so she's aware of all the hard work that goes into putting it together. months each and i'm be so you can just see the bend. nice. that's the fast kona corporate. there are 14 corners on the track. many have imaginative names like snake, horner, telephone corner, all devils die corner. possess all the decisive stretch comes about a 3rd of the way down horseshoe corner when she once broke
5:24 am
a finger. as of this lesson cycle in the last 2 bands before the straight into horseshoe. you can prepare yourself like okay, here's hoshi for sure. for, for, for me his, this guy, it's very important to me because i respect how difficult it is actually to make this sled knows when you're scared. come, then you can end up sliding leaked and then you try to find your position again and done. then you wait that the corner comes so fast hunter anguish on this is so chanel in the street. you get up to 80 kilometers per hour. i'm 100. mm. so yeah, i played and the other builders are working on horseshoe corner now. think killers, cool. i can't wait. oh, hopefully it'll work out. yeah, i'm is. does you have to build it for me for the world. cough. through the vin hands the dust. can you tell the radius just by looking you're say more or less wonder it's cold. it's not a 100 percent over. ok mark when it's i see
5:25 am
a dog man on roger enough for you can see it better and among eyes ish, fancy misnomer physical on the road. 11, my siding, cannot you know exactly what you have to do in the corners and you feel it too high . when i go into a corner, i know i have to do this stuff. when i'm at the highest point. i know i have to do that than my calamity stuff muscle won't em my see metal cake big in core when i see the word out of the corner of my eye and i know i'm high enough for doubt. frequency stuff holds that by then i'll be ok. cool. then pass it minutes degrees here. you're more still have to reach a certain height in the corner of fuss. if you're too low, you'll have problems when you come out of the corners. fucking off my horn gun keeps mercer god knows that all too well. all right, so sir, exactly. i know i've tested that theory out. unlike a bobsled, a skeleton sled has no steering all brakes. pilots navigate with their bodies at
5:26 am
130 kilometers per hour. i'm like for me, you stay a most with your head and shoulders. well done, man can't. if needed, you can use your feet to it. that has the fastest impact on the sledge level. daria if the treatment for hum smith's corners are decisive. athletes can experience g force of more than 5 times. they body weight the same as formula one drivers, except here, their faces artist centimeters away from an ice track. the ice channel always looks the same, but there are subtle changes. temperature affects the descent. sometimes it's slower, meaning pilots have to change their approach to corners. this marks the zant. moritz olympic bob run out from other tracks in europe, north america and japan, which lie in less favorable climates and have to be artificially refrigerated. but i think has noticed that the climate here has become more extreme over the last 30
5:27 am
years. via tish amada, a thought can be freezing of the one the week later, you can have a warm spell of either becoming more and more comma to talk to him. or if it never used to happen, hopefully at least it used to stay cold throughout the winter. or shock because of the 1st to going to bring to that. so it would be between minus 10 and him and minus 15 for the whole season, forgot me now. it swings from minus $20.00 to 0. swan to call that the change is brutal. these de soto, backslash portales ah m ah, i've had peter and co are finished. the track is in use. the team will stay for the
5:28 am
rest of the season as the olympic bob run has to be repaired and treated regularly as it is as thick forgive. and i've, by, it's funny because the preparations take up most of your time to buy this and even the bomb i'm really gruesome as of it legs for hours of work before you can do it, run on for the fun cause with things like preparing the runners and tightening screws. it takes forever. miller, a all that just to spend 2 minutes getting down the track with in march, the season is over. the weather gets warmer and the track simply disappears until winter returns. and the building work starts afresh.
