The team will be running Try-outs in Trinidad and Tobago, USA, and in the United Kingdom. All athletes are welcome to come and give it a try, but recruitment at the moment is running solely for the Men’s 2-man and 4-man team.
Though there are no set minimum requirements, athletes should be fast, powerful, and ideally heavy. Athletes need to be able to take a 350lb stationary sled and accelerate it to as high a speed as possible on the ice. This requires initial power followed by high top speed.
It makes sense that the heavier a sled is, the faster it will go downhill. Therefore, it is preferable for athletes to have a bodyweight between 180-240lbs.
We are looking to facilitate the formation of a women’s team. In order to do so, we need a pilot that is capable not only as an athlete to compete with the best in the world, but who is also able to run her team independently, as our men’s team do.
If you are interested in starting the female contingent, please reach out via our contact page.
