My Jan '06 skeleton slide on the bobsled / luge track at Utah Olympic Park in Park City UT (USA). Top speed 75 mph.

  • nice! we signed up to do it next week! did they give you that helmet cam or was that yours?

  • Cool, have fun. Utah Olympic Park didn't offer helmetcam rentals. So, I used my own gear, after getting permission from the park manager and informing the control tower (since you're normally not allowed to carry anything down the track).

    I may get a chance to slide again next year, in which case I may post a higher-quality video.

  • Damn, brings back memories! I can't believe I did that! lol... What track is that from? sort of reminds me of COP, although thats the only track I've been on...

  • Hi! Cool to hear from a fellow skeleton slider. That's UOP (Utah Olympic Park) in Park City. It's similar to COP in Canada in some respects; however, a key difference is that only COP has a cool 360-degree "kreisel" loop.

  • I gotta ask, where did you keep the video recording unit?

  • I used industrial-strength velcro (from Home Depot) to attach the Viosport Adventure Cam II atop my helmet. The Canon ZR40 recording unit was in a fanny pack I purchased separately.

    I plan to re-shoot this video next season, with some tweaks to make it clearer. This clip, and my other (non-helmetcam) skeleton sliding videos are on my site www.newsliders.com .

    I eventually hope to use this helmetcam for snowboarding, ski jumping, drumming, baseball, and maybe even a dogcam.
