Harnessing the green potential of gravity, 723 00:42:15,275 --> 00:42:17,395 and embracing speed, 724 00:42:17,395 --> 00:42:21,715 this is the Sinclair Ski-5. 725 00:42:21,715 --> 00:42:24,555 The Ski-5? Yeah. Yeah, but what is it? 726 00:42:24,555 --> 00:42:26,355 I know what you're thinking. Stop it. 727 00:42:26,355 --> 00:42:29,235 You're thinking I've just got a bobsled, and I've put the shell 728 00:42:29,235 --> 00:42:30,635 of a Sinclair C5 on top. Yes. 729 00:42:30,635 --> 00:42:32,875 Oh, no, Christopher. We've done this properly. 730 00:42:32,875 --> 00:42:35,595 Obviously got rid of the wheels, put some running rails 731 00:42:35,595 --> 00:42:37,875 on the bottom, changed the steering. 732 00:42:37,875 --> 00:42:39,675 Remember that bar where you turned? 733 00:42:39,675 --> 00:42:42,435 I've gone for the pulleys, bobsled-style. 734 00:42:42,435 --> 00:42:46,075 Wouldn't it be easier just to run headlong at a brick wall? 735 00:42:46,075 --> 00:42:48,195 No, Chris. Cos you wouldn't have to travel. 736 00:42:48,195 --> 00:42:49,995 You'd just get the job done cleaner. 737 00:42:49,995 --> 00:42:52,155 You know what I'm going to try and do? What? 738 00:42:52,155 --> 00:42:54,835 It's what Sir Clive would've wanted when he designed it. 739 00:42:54,835 --> 00:42:58,475 What? I want to break the national speed limit of 60mph. 740 00:42:58,475 --> 00:43:00,195 Why would you want to do that? 741 00:43:00,195 --> 00:43:01,555 In honour of Sir Clive. 742 00:43:03,755 --> 00:43:05,635 To help me with my mission, 743 00:43:05,635 --> 00:43:08,675 I'd be running on Norway's national bobsleigh track 744 00:43:08,675 --> 00:43:12,715 in Lillehammer, with the help a team of sledding experts, 745 00:43:12,715 --> 00:43:16,475 led by Olympic coach Graham Richardson. 746 00:43:18,035 --> 00:43:20,835 What's the chance of it making it to the bottom in one piece? 747 00:43:20,835 --> 00:43:22,875 Ah, here he is. Here he is. 748 00:43:22,875 --> 00:43:24,515 There's no guarantees. 749 00:43:24,515 --> 00:43:29,675 Erm, there's very, very precise lines that you have to drive to 750 00:43:29,675 --> 00:43:31,555 not crash off the end of the corner. 751 00:43:31,555 --> 00:43:33,835 Cos I've seen it on t'telly. I saw the Olympics. 752 00:43:33,835 --> 00:43:35,595 Those two lads ended up on the reds. 753 00:43:39,235 --> 00:43:41,835 That word you used there beginning with C - that's important 754 00:43:41,835 --> 00:43:43,035 in the context of Fred. 755 00:43:43,035 --> 00:43:44,675 Chris, adults speaking. 756 00:43:44,675 --> 00:43:46,395 And the chances of getting to 60? 757 00:43:46,395 --> 00:43:48,835 Erm... 758 00:43:48,835 --> 00:43:51,155 I don't know. I'm not sure about the aero on it. 759 00:43:51,155 --> 00:43:53,955 It's open sides, a little bit slow, 760 00:43:53,955 --> 00:43:56,955 but it very much depends how Fred drives it. 761 00:43:56,955 --> 00:43:57,995 Ah. 762 00:44:00,875 --> 00:44:03,995 Before letting me loose in the Ski-5, 763 00:44:03,995 --> 00:44:06,915 Graham needed me to learn the course, which, 764 00:44:06,915 --> 00:44:10,395 on a 16-corner track that's nearly a mile long, 765 00:44:10,395 --> 00:44:12,715 wasn't exactly straightforward. 766 00:44:15,875 --> 00:44:18,355 So, as you go into the corner, it'll come up. 767 00:44:18,355 --> 00:44:21,155 You look for the straight. You turn it off, and over. 768 00:44:21,155 --> 00:44:22,715 It's just like driving a car. 769 00:44:22,715 --> 00:44:26,115 I thought I was turning up to sit down and go quick. 770 00:44:26,115 --> 00:44:28,555 This on the left, incidentally, is the junior start, 771 00:44:28,555 --> 00:44:30,875 where we're going to be starting from with you today. 772 00:44:30,875 --> 00:44:33,515 So, when you get to the second pressure, the sled is high, 773 00:44:33,515 --> 00:44:36,195 and with the nose in a good position to actually steer through that 774 00:44:36,195 --> 00:44:37,675 and come off the corner. 775 00:44:37,675 --> 00:44:41,755 Graham was talking me through it, but... 776 00:44:41,755 --> 00:44:43,955 ..he's talking a different language to what I knew. 777 00:44:43,955 --> 00:44:46,715 He was talking about pressures and getting onto corners too early, 778 00:44:46,715 --> 00:44:48,955 and pointing out little things 779 00:44:48,955 --> 00:44:50,795 you can look at when you're in a corner. 780 00:44:50,795 --> 00:44:53,395 The problem with that is, there's 16 of them. 781 00:44:53,395 --> 00:44:55,675 And they come up pretty fast. 782 00:44:55,675 --> 00:44:58,075 Especially as, all too soon, 783 00:44:58,075 --> 00:45:02,115 I was given my very own training sleigh to take for a run. 784 00:45:05,835 --> 00:45:09,275 And we're going... Oh, we're building up speed already! 785 00:45:09,275 --> 00:45:10,915 When you come out into the 4-5 transition, 786 00:45:10,915 --> 00:45:12,315 it's a nice, long straight. 787 00:45:12,315 --> 00:45:14,355 And what you should do here is just practise. 788 00:45:14,355 --> 00:45:16,355 Just go...when I pull left, the sled goes left. 789 00:45:16,355 --> 00:45:18,035 When I pull right, the sled goes right. 790 00:45:18,035 --> 00:45:20,755 Is it fast at the minute, or is it...? Yeah. Yeah? 791 00:45:20,755 --> 00:45:22,395 Oh, yeah, this'll be cooking. 792 00:45:22,395 --> 00:45:24,035 Ohhh! 793 00:45:24,035 --> 00:45:26,355 "Don't forget to steer." 794 00:45:26,355 --> 00:45:28,635 Today's coaching tip. Yeah, steer. 795 00:45:31,355 --> 00:45:34,075 Top runners are going to be about here. 796 00:45:34,075 --> 00:45:36,395 And, as you let it run, it stays parallel. 797 00:45:36,395 --> 00:45:38,035 When everything else is descending, 798 00:45:38,035 --> 00:45:40,555 we're staying parallel and joining the high line. 799 00:45:46,355 --> 00:45:49,235 Remember, a nice, strong steer on the beginning of 13. 800 00:45:49,235 --> 00:45:50,715 All right, we'll do another. 801 00:45:52,275 --> 00:45:57,035 Had a couple of bumps, like... but didn't land on me head, did I? 802 00:46:08,795 --> 00:46:11,115 TANNOY: We have a crash. We have a crash. 803 00:46:13,075 --> 00:46:16,115 It didn't go particularly well, Chris. You do surprise me! 804 00:46:16,115 --> 00:46:18,355 Here we go, look at this. So, here we go. 805 00:46:20,835 --> 00:46:23,835 Oh! See? What the hell are you doing? 806 00:46:23,835 --> 00:46:25,675 I'm sideways. 807 00:46:25,675 --> 00:46:27,675 So, I came in... Yeah. 808 00:46:27,675 --> 00:46:30,075 And then, as I was going, I went over. 809 00:46:30,075 --> 00:46:33,595 And me helmet was scraping on the wall, and then, 810 00:46:33,595 --> 00:46:36,075 pushed meself back up and got back on me...on me things. 811 00:46:36,075 --> 00:46:39,715 So, you righted yourself using your own head? Kind of, yeah. 812 00:46:41,515 --> 00:46:46,195 Truth is, the high sides of the training sleigh are designed to keep 813 00:46:46,195 --> 00:46:49,835 the driver properly protected - 814 00:46:49,835 --> 00:46:52,875 protection I'd now have to leave behind, 815 00:46:52,875 --> 00:46:56,795 lining up to give the Ski-5 its maiden voyage. 816 00:46:56,795 --> 00:46:59,875 OK, so, remember - into the corners. 817 00:46:59,875 --> 00:47:01,635 Yeah. Turn to parallel. 818 00:47:01,635 --> 00:47:03,635 Let it run nice and free. Look for the exit. 819 00:47:03,635 --> 00:47:06,595 Remember to look as long as you can. Steer it down the straight. 820 00:47:06,595 --> 00:47:08,955 OK. Lovely stuff.

Coming round. 840 00:47:56,795 --> 00:47:59,875 Down the first, it's a bit... It's twitching at the back. 841 00:47:59,875 --> 00:48:02,355 Oh, my - he had a massive wobble there! 842 00:48:02,355 --> 00:48:04,395 Coming round. Look at where you're going. 843 00:48:06,795 --> 00:48:09,675 And we're off. Oh, it's a twitcher. 844 00:48:09,675 --> 00:48:11,475 Now he's against the wall twice there. 845 00:48:11,475 --> 00:48:14,115 Going down the straight now. Here we go, into 12. 846 00:48:14,115 --> 00:48:17,595 Now he's picking up speed. Now he's really travelling. 847 00:48:17,595 --> 00:48:20,435 Here we go. And into 13. 848 00:48:20,435 --> 00:48:22,075 Just saw him over there. 849 00:48:22,075 --> 00:48:23,995 Oh, 15! 850 00:48:23,995 --> 00:48:25,635 Coming round. 851 00:48:25,635 --> 00:48:28,955 Steering up into 16, and we're nearly finished! 852 00:48:28,955 --> 00:48:30,675 And we're down. 853 00:48:34,635 --> 00:48:37,475 Never in doubt, Andrew. It's, erm... 854 00:48:37,475 --> 00:48:39,555 It's a little bit twitchy. How does she handle? 855 00:48:39,555 --> 00:48:41,155 Through the corners, was all right. 856 00:48:41,155 --> 00:48:42,995 Straight, it's all over the place. 857 00:48:42,995 --> 00:48:45,635 Is it lacking stability? A little bit. 858 00:48:45,635 --> 00:48:47,835 How fast do you reckon you went? 859 00:48:47,835 --> 00:48:52,435 I didn't feel I was flying that time. I reckon...50, max. 860 00:48:52,435 --> 00:48:53,915 OK, can we get a speed? 861 00:48:53,915 --> 00:48:55,355 54.6. 862 00:48:55,355 --> 00:48:58,315 54.6mph. 863 00:48:58,315 --> 00:49:00,075 54? Yeah. Point six. 864 00:49:00,075 --> 00:49:03,275 That's all right, that is. So, how can we get more speed? 865 00:49:03,275 --> 00:49:05,355 That was only the junior. What? 866 00:49:05,355 --> 00:49:07,795 Send me from the top. That wasn't the top? 867 00:49:07,795 --> 00:49:09,555 No, that was only t'junior one. 868 00:49:09,555 --> 00:49:12,075 I've got four more corners to go through. Get to the top, 869 00:49:12,075 --> 00:49:14,275 I reckon 60mph - all day long. 870 00:49:14,275 --> 00:49:17,515 You're confident, are you? Yeah. 871 00:49:17,515 --> 00:49:21,995 Plus, Graham had a few ideas of his own. 872 00:49:21,995 --> 00:49:24,915 So, what we've done is we've moved up to the top of the track, 873 00:49:24,915 --> 00:49:28,355 so we've got an extra 200 metres of track, and maybe 30 metres of drop. 874 00:49:28,355 --> 00:49:29,795 That should do it, shouldn't it? 875 00:49:29,795 --> 00:49:32,755 That'll give us a bit more speed, but I don't think it'll be enough. 876 00:49:32,755 --> 00:49:34,795 What? We need a bit more weight. 877 00:49:34,795 --> 00:49:36,395 Fred's not heavy enough. 878 00:49:36,395 --> 00:49:38,235 We need to put 50 kilos in. 879 00:49:38,235 --> 00:49:43,795 50 kilos? 50 kilos will get some more speed out of it, so look sharp. 880 00:49:43,795 --> 00:49:47,755 So, as well as being promoted from the children's start line, 881 00:49:47,755 --> 00:49:51,435 to increase the amount of energy, and therefore speed, that Fred 882 00:49:51,435 --> 00:49:53,755 would be carrying down the run, 883 00:49:53,755 --> 00:49:56,995 we'd also now added a healthy lump of ballast. 884 00:49:59,955 --> 00:50:02,835 Sitting at the top, it's a different course. 885 00:50:02,835 --> 00:50:04,035 That first drop - wow. 886 00:50:06,275 --> 00:50:09,355 I can just see probably 20 yards of track, 887 00:50:09,355 --> 00:50:11,955 and then, a roof. I don't even see the track. 888 00:50:14,395 --> 00:50:16,835 Pushing him down now. 889 00:50:16,835 --> 00:50:18,435 Oh, here we go. Look at this. 890 00:50:18,435 --> 00:50:19,475 And he's away. 891 00:50:19,475 --> 00:50:22,595 Bloomin' heck, it just disappears. And we're off. 892 00:50:22,595 --> 00:50:25,235 I'm on me own here. 893 00:50:25,235 --> 00:50:26,715 And we're going. 894 00:50:26,715 --> 00:50:28,275 We're building up speed already! 895 00:50:28,275 --> 00:50:30,355 He looks exposed. His head's above. 896 00:50:30,355 --> 00:50:32,595 It's like watching an old Formula 1 car, you know, 897 00:50:32,595 --> 00:50:35,395 when the canopy's so low and their torso's above. 898 00:50:35,395 --> 00:50:38,155 Here we go, it's... it's all over the place, this. 899 00:50:38,155 --> 00:50:39,595 Whacked a wall there. 900 00:50:39,595 --> 00:50:41,435 Here we go, coming round. 901 00:50:41,435 --> 00:50:43,515 Keep it straight. 902 00:50:43,515 --> 00:50:46,075 Flashed through there.
