Equipment
Let's Suit Up!
Suomy Helmet
$500
Going into the new quad with the end game being 2026, Milano-Cortina, the IBSF (International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation) will require all athletes to use new helmets. These are certified and approved measures to ensure athlete safety.
Speedsuit
$1500
The speed suit is one of the eye-catchers when it comes to sliding. Working with Qwixskinz to design a show stopping piece that not only looks good, but is aerodynamic and fast!
Brush Spikes
$379
The nature of the sport is we're pretty hard on our shoes, so we go through a pair a season. Try toe-steering while going 70mph!
Visors
$40/visor
Visors are similar in concept to sunglasses. The different tints work in different environments, some more commonly used than others, but necessary all the same. I would like to have a black (dark), yellow/orange, clear visor.

Product Support
Support isn't limited to a dollar amount sent; for the comfort of some donating something physical is preferred. With that in mind, I created an Amazon Wishlist with a list of products I commonly use. *These will be shipped to Lake Placid Olympic Training Center
Logistics
In name, I may technically be a professional athlete, but I still shoulder the responsibility of self-funding my season of competition and getting myself to locations.
Flights
$1892
There are four tracks on the North American continent, but majority of the competitive season is spent in Europe. So annually, I can expect to do at least one relatively long flight across an ocean to get to races.Â
*With some Asian tracks opening up, the trip across the Pacific is gonna be on the horizon
Baggage Fees
$1250
During the season each athlete is responsible for getting his or her equipment to each destination. The most reliable way is to fly with our equipment. This becomes a juggling act when trying to stay within weight and size limitations. *my sled is 83lbs!
Housing
$2339
In the season of competition, there are no designated housing options that are available for athletes when needed (ie. athlete training centers). So most of the trips we stay in hotels or AirBNBs near the tracks.
Transportation
$1523
While it would be nice to be chauffeured to race locations for competitions, athletes are responsible for getting from point "A" to point "B"
