Brad is no stranger to sports his list of competitive sports range from water to ice and from grass to dirt.  The list ranges from his first passion growing up with Swimming and diving to what he considers the best sport on earth.  Skeleton.  Along the path to his final destination of Skeleton he has one two competitions as a triathlete, participated in a passion of adventure racing, picked up a snow board and on his first day was doing jumps and riding the rales.  It wasn’t until fellow diver and friend saw a recruiting effort for the “extreme” sport of Skeleton did he truly find his “home”.  One of Brad’s comments (and often a common one) when fellow athlete approached him about the sport was, “what is Skeleton?”

What is Skeleton?
Skeleton originated and St Moritz Switzerland in the late 1800’s.  Where the name came from is a constant debate but it most commonly said that is named after the sled that resembled a skeleton.  It is considered the “extreme” family member of the sliding sports of Bobsled and Luge.
Imagine going down face first on your stomach on ice with your chin less than 2 inches from the ice going up to 80mph and pulling close to 5 G’s. Can’t imagine it?  Think of the next time you are driving down the highway at 70 MPH and sticking your face 2 inches from the ground and then add the G-Forces.
Skeleton is one of the few sports that are measured down to the 100ths of a second.
