Insane Winter Sports

So there are a few winter sports that are insane. ...And they are exactly the ones I would love to be good at:

Luge: Honestly, it's illegal to go 90mph on the highway...who would want to do it on two pieces of medal on ice with nothing but a helmet for protection?

Bobsledding: same reason, only add sides to the sled.

Curling: not dangerous but allows you to be relatively out of shape, it's the coolest dorky sport in the world, and really, who wouldn't want to slide rocks on ice?

Pairs Ice Skating: (only girly sport on the list) Do you see how close those ice-skate blades come to the other guy? Do you have a death wish?

Biatholon: Legally mixing guns and skiis for the sake of a piece of medal to hang around your neck? Who wouldn't go for that? Besides, I have a great eye!

Moguls: either you hate your knees or there is some nerve damage that allows you not to feel pain. I would say that moguls must be the experience you get crossing the luge on Michigan roads.

Downhill Skiing: this is a sport strictly for the speed junkie in anyone. Crazy-as-ever

Ski Jumping: How do you land that?

Speed Skating: Again, you wipe out with that, especially if you take someone else out, and you cut an artery like a hot knife through butter. That one guy, last year, almost bled to death before they got him off the ice! Really!?! How can this be legal?

Ice Hockey: Can we say legalized international assault? We all know the Russians got together with the Knucks and came up with this one, the Americans have too much pent-up emotions, and we use the sport as an excuse to beat others up over a medal.

Smack-Talking: Okay, raise your hand if you hate the announcers!

Any I missed? Add a comment and let me know!
