Wild stunt out of Norway where freeskier Anders Backe strapped into a pair of cross country skis and took on the Olympic bobsleigh used in the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics.
If you have ever tried go down even the most mellow of slope on cross country skis, you have an appreciation of just how sketchy this is. Great to see an Olympic venue that is still in working order and not gone to seed.
The folks at the Olympiaparken have several different options for the general public to experience the thrill of speeding down the Olympic bobsled track including a method called “Bobrafting” which is a rubber bobsleigh that takes 5-6 passengers in addition to the pilot at 60+ mph in relative safety.
Bobrafting:
Feel the rush of adrenaline in a fast-paced experience in the Nordic region’s only bobsleigh track. Bobraft is a rubber bob with a top speed of 100km/h, and will give an adrenaline rush with a pressure of up to 3G. Bobraft is suitable for both young and old! It is piloted by one of our authorized pilots and has room for 4 passengers.
