My sister-in-law Noelle started her busy Skeleton season a few weeks ago. She raced last week in Lake Placid, NY for the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton team trials and won both times. She came back home this past weekend to race in Park City for the World Cup. I'm so glad that I was able to make it work to go up and see her race. It was a little chilly, but bearable. I got some good shots of her starting out and also one during the race. We went down to the curve during her 2nd race so we could actually see her in action. They come around the corner at 75 mph that it's hard to know when to actually take the picture.
This past year her sled broke and she was unable to get a new one. So my awesome brother, Janson, decided to build her one. He researched it out and spent many sleepless nights planning and building this sled for Noelle. She raced it for the first time a few weeks ago and it's done amazing on the ice. She took 1st place in Park City and is on her way to compete for the World Cup....and then hopefullythe Olympics. We are excited to see her do so well and to be enjoying her last year of racing. We're cheering for you Noelle! Bring home the GOLD!!
Noelle secured her spot on the World Cup squad by being the fastest woman on the ice once again, 1.49 seconds ahead of the other 10 women. News people were all over after the announcement of making the World Cup.

Great shots Brindy. She is an amazing woman. I think that we all need some of that HOT pink spandex.
Hey, I saw that sled story on the news. I didn't know that was your brother. That's awesome!
