Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I took part in a training camp in Austria this time last year. Didn't get to have a go at skeleton because I put my name down for Luge (simlar but feet first anda bit more technical).

I can honestly say it is probably the most exhilerating thing I have ever done, I could hardly stand after the first run because of the amount of adrenaline running round my body.

Speaking to a few of the guys who were taking part in the other disciplines, those on the skeleton said that the G force was that strong in the corners all you can do is let your helmet rest on the ice, and one of the brake men in the 2-man bob kept being sick at the end of the run becuase he was being thrown about that much.
