FORTYPOUNDS.ONE SECOND.
The world's most demanding sliding sport, now open to junior prospects, adult starters, and federation coaches. Real ice. Real speed. Real coaching.
Fear is just the gap between what you know and what you haven't done yet.
"I've never been on a sled."
Neither had Armin Zöggeler before his first lesson. Everyone starts at push-off speed.
"140 km/h sounds insane."
You don't start there. Session one caps at 60 km/h on a shortened junior track with a coach at every curve.
"I'm not a professional athlete."
Forty percent of our adult intake have never competed in any sliding sport. Fitness prerequisites are a 10-minute mile and basic core stability.
The track is waiting. The only prerequisite is showing up. ↓
Coached by athletes who have been exactly where you are.
Every coach on our staff has held a start handle at the international level. They know what it feels like when the light fires.
Markus Steinberg
"I can fix a 0.4-second start deficit in two sessions. That's the difference between selection and watching from the stands."
Our coaches review your video before your second session. You arrive knowing exactly what to fix.
Zero to 137 km/h in a structured, data-verified progression.
Start Mechanics & Conditioning
Before you touch ice, you build the body that the sled demands. Start-handle drills on a purpose-built rig, core stability protocols, and reaction-time training. You learn what your muscles need to do in the first 0.8 seconds before you're on a surface that punishes hesitation.
- Start rig sessions (200+ repetitions)
- Video analysis of push-off mechanics
- Core & hip flexor loading protocols
- Reaction timer benchmarking
What it actually feels like. In their words.
"The first time I hit Curve 11 at full speed, my vision went gray for about half a second. Not from fear — from the G-force. I was smiling the entire way down."
After my third full-track run, Markus showed me my steering trace. I had been applying pressure 0.3 seconds late through Curve 9 — something I had no idea I was doing. Seeing it in the data made it fixable.
Athletes leave with timestamps. Some leave with selection letters.
Selected to the Canadian junior development squad after posting a 112.8 km/h personal best during the Full-Week Intensive.
Across 18 athletes in the Development Block, average start-time delta improved by 0.38 seconds.
Cleared for unsupervised full-track runs after 6 coached sessions — the academy average.
3 athletes. 3 corrected curve lines. 1 national selection letter received 6 weeks post-camp.
