Weibrecht's Crazy Ride Down Birds of Prey

U.S. Ski Team racer Andrew Weibrecht, skiing in his first World Cup downhill, takes a crazy ride down the Birds of Prey Downhill in Beaver Creek to finish 10th. Weibrecht's run brought back memories of Austrian Franz Klammer's famous gold medal Olympic run in 1976. The top racers in the world were on hand for the Charles Schwab Birds of Prey Downhill, which aired on NBC Sports.

If it weren't for that little spread he may have contended for the podium.

i go skiing there every year. and i do that run top to bottom, it is so icy that it breaks your skis and if you fall you slide on your ass all the way down the whole freaking run
