What NOT To Do in Turn 6


As we have been working on redesigning our team website lately, I found myself digging through all the bobsled photos the other day and came across this image from a couple years ago.

Shot by an old photographer friend Rachel Wickern-Henderson, this image was a once-in-a-lifetime capture. She came up with us one night during a training session and while sitting down in Turn 6 on the Park City track she was able to take this eye-stopping photograph. Afterwards when we were going through the images she had taken, everyone who saw this one usually gave a "whoa" or "geeze."

While it is generally better to be higher in the turns of a bobsled track, this was a tad bit too high. You can be sure that Winston and his brakeman had to do some serious sanding after this one. But it sure made for a great shot! Please enjoy and if you want to see more of Rachel's incredible photography, just click on her name above.
