The Cresta Run Challenge
Loading...
Uploaded by thesnowballproject on Feb 7, 2010
Attempting the first of 40 improbable challenges, the snowballer visits the playground of the rich in St Moritz, Switzerland and throws himself down a deadly Ice Run to raise money for the World Cancer Research Fund.
The 125 year old Cresta Run is the Godfather of skeleton racing, where the rider makes his descent head first and face down rather than laying on ones back as per the luge event.
With speeds at the bottom of the run approaching 80 mph (130 kph), riding the Cresta is one of the most dangerous pastimes known to man.
People have lost their lives riding her, and each season witnesses numerous serious injuries.
With little more than a few practice goes on the Nintendo Wii, the snowballer has his work cut out to kick the snowball project off with a bang.

Bit too much nutter, loco, idiotic, crazy....screams I love me who do you love. Nice idea, pushed to hard for self promotion opposed to the idea of the concept of charity

Wow!
You've shown your commitment to this project with the Cresta run.
Hope you get loads of commercial sponsors!
Try safer things now that you've proved your commitment--you need to get to the end of the two year challenge in one piece!
I like the Facebook suggestion that you
a. have a go at being an orchestra conductor;
b. have a go at being a stand-up comedian; you know you can do it!!!
