When Canada Olympic Park’s ice house melts in the summer, bobsleigh drivers attach wheels to their wagons and roll their way down the concrete track.

This year COP shares the downhill thrill usually reserved for Olympians by allowing groups of four to ride the summer bobsleigh. A professional driver steers the sleigh as it bobs and banks at speeds up to 100-kilometres-per-hour through 14 turns before coming to a screeching halt at the bottom of the hill 60 seconds later.

If only the Jamaican bobsleigh team had this hot track to practice on. Cool Runnings would have been a much different movie. —Jaelyn Molyneux

Move over Drew and Juno (ah, we mean Bliss), Calgary’s B52 Bellas and the Thrashin’ Lassies are going to “Whip It” this Saturday.

The Calgary Roller Derby Association’s Summer Smackdown presents a bout between the kilt-wearing lassies, who say their secret weapon is their thick Scottish accent, and the “highly-trained corps of fighters” (a.k.a. The B-52 Bellas). Cheer the ladies on to victory and learn more about “blockers,” “jammers,” and “pivots.”

The association is always looking for new members so maybe it’s time to lace-up.
