Germanys Naked Sledding Competition

January 19, 2014

naked sledding

Ok, ok, I couldn’t resist.
The winter days are pretty gloomy and grey so why not lighten it up a bit? How ’bout a bunch of naked people going sledding?
From The Huffington Post:

“Next month, the German town of Braunlage will host the fifth annual Naked Sledding World Championship, and they’re actively looking for this year’s crop of clothes-free competitors.

To apply, you must be willing to strip down for a grueling, semi-naked race on a toboggan. You’ll be laying on your stomach and propelling forward with your hands (don’t worry– gloves are one of the few articles of clothing allowed) before a crowd of about 25,000 people. In the past, the top(less) male and female sledders each received about $1,000 in prize money.

Organizers of the last Naked Sled chose only 30 participants from a pool of roughly 5,000 applications. Apparently those who “look good naked” tend to get picked, and stipulations are a bit strict: historically, contestants were chosen only from Germany, Austria or Norway, and Brits are forming their first team this year.”

Looks cold enough to “freeze a witches tit” – and give the men “snowballs”…

    The Nations mentioned there don’t need the British in this.
    The only good that came out of Britain is:
    The Beatles
    and Jeff Lynne (ELO)

  • Review: “America B.C.”, By Barry Fell
    To begin with, I realize this series of books I am reading makes paid scientists like archaeologists and historians crazy. It just doesn’t fit in their books. But, as I have said, like politics realizing the power of podcasts and amateurs, novice people are picking up the pieces. This is the era of the citizen-journalist. […]
  • Review: Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, by Dee Brown
    I know I am coming to this book late, but felt it necessary to read this (and others) from the native standpoint since I am also reading many books that seem to be about colonization. I, myself have perhaps been somewhat selfishly in sorrow for how our little seaside community is now turning into “Disneyland”, […]
  • 1421- The Year China Discovered America – By Gavin Menzies
    1421- The Year China Discovered America By Gavin Menzies Let me start by writing that I am well aware that mainstream historians and archaeologists reject this interpretation, but for simple-minded readers like me perhaps, this book makes complete sense. Menzies was a submarine commander and knew ships, currents and winds – all the things needed […]
  • Was The Murder Of A Federal Judge An “Intelligence” Operation?
    Was The Murder Of A Federal Judge An “Intelligence” Operation? The story of the Chagra’s, Charles Harrelson, and the murder of Federal Judge ‘Maximum” John Wood is a long and twisted mystery that has not quite been solved. The characters include; Lee and Jimmy and Joe Chagra, acknowledged hit-man Charles Harrelson, and Federal Judge “Maximum” […]
  • Review: “Continental Reckoning” By Elliot West
    I learned quite a bit in reading this huge book, which probably was meant for college classes. Indeed, the author of “Continental Reckoning”, Elliot West, is a Professor of History Emeritus at the University of Arkansas. This book should be in an Economic or Law history class, and probably is. Author Elliot West clearly outlines […]
