Now That Is Hot

I'm going to tell you all about my opinion on Skeleton Racing. I think it looks pretty cool, but after the third person to go, it gets pretty repetitive. The track is the same for every person, and you can't exactly personalize your run unless you mess up badly. With other winter sports like freestyle skiing, you can do your signature trick, do something spectacular and generally make it different. But with Skeleton racing, there's a track. You go down it. You try to make your helmet interesting.  

How It Works

 Although, some of the art on helmets are pretty interesting. It's the way to personalize your look, and make you different from the rest. My opinion is that it hurts a lot if you mess up, and you're basically training for your whole life for this moment, and you just go down a slippery track... but the science behind it is cool. You can go up to 130 km/h and experience up to 5 g of force. Obviously you have to be strong for this. Hope this has given you more thoughts on the sport!
