All right, guys.

Welcome to another episode of the Free Range American Podcast.

We are here with some guys from the bopsled team.

All right, let's introduce yourselves around the table and get this going.

Yeah, I'm Chris Walsh.

I'm one of the Team USA bopsletters.

And where do you sit?

I sit typically.

I can switch, but usually in like the third position.

So I push from the right usually in like the third position.

So I push from the right side and climb in third.

Cool.

Frankie Del Ducca spent three years as a push athlete, now three years as a pilot.

So I sit up front and steer.

Try not to crash.

Yes, absolutely.

He's good and not crashing.

Usually. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When the equipment works. We'll get into crash. Yes, absolutely. He's good and not crashing. Usually.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

When the equipment works. We'll get into it. Yes, recent equipment failure, but okay. Dakota Lynch, I typically sit in the back as the breaklands, the number four guy. I've been working in on the right side, so three guy a little bit. Cool. Blaine McConnell, third year on the team. And I sit second, so I'll be pushing usually from the left side of the sled. Okay. Who's been on the team the longest? Or who's been doing this

the longest? Yeah? What got you into it? Well, we had some guys in college where we're like, you know what, what are we going to do after we're done competing here? Like we've worked hard. Like we're enjoying competing. We don't really want to stop. We're not going to go pro and track. So what are we going to do after this? This ain't going to happen. I mean, we weren't slow, but like we're not going to the Olympics and track, so. I mean, for everybody's sake, like, none of these guys are slow at all. So, uh, it's relative. Slow is really relative when we're talking about this. So we're kind of thinking like, you know, bobsled is really cool. Like, let's, let's do it. There's, they hold combines. When I found out there were combines, just like most other professional sports, we tried out. And, I mean, snowball effect. I showed up my rookie year for a rookie camp, and I just never left. You guys can't get rid of me. I swear. I had to go back home to get closed before tour.
