Gravity tries to pull me
straight down towards
the centre of the Earth,
but with the mountain
in the way I am dragged
down the slope instead.
Wide, long skis will help
to spread my weight and
stop me from sinking into
the snow as it compacts
beneath me.

The supersled’s fairing

will help me to glide

through the air more

easily but my helmet and

clothes will also create air

resistance. To minimise

this I will need to wear a

body-hugging suit, just

like a speed skier.
