Bobsledding

Bobsledding is a sport that requires ice,a bobsled,and four people. There is a driver,2 pushers,and a
brakeman. They race down the ice in bobsleds. They all start out by pushing together and the bobsled
starts moving. The sled starts going and they all hop in. Once they are all in, the driver steers the sled
 by pulling rings attached to strings connected to the blades. The pushers only push when they get going from the start.When they are not pushing, they are helping the driver steer by leaning in the right direction. at the end, the brakeman stops the sled while everyone else climbs out. The bobsleds are required to be made out of MOLDED RAW STEEL. The weight INCLUDES the riders AND the bobsled.You can NOT put wheels on the sled because wheels turn and blades cut through the ice.The winners are decided by how fast they go and if they cheat or not.the bobsleds normally go 95 MPH but the world record is 125 MPH. that's fast! The first bobsled course was built in a park in 1903-1904.BOBSLEDDING IS AWESOME!
