Picture yourself running with a tiny one-person sled just so you can jump on it and start sliding down a frozen track at speeds of up to 120km/h...head first, that's Skeleton. A sport that's particularly rare in terms of membership, Jon Chu (@chu_jonny on Instagram) is one of a handful of people who have participated and trained for it. He goes into how he got started and dives into the particulars of the sport. Coming from an Asian family, where culturally, academics is preferred over sports, he also talks about how he managed to balance out his parents' expectations versus what he wanted. Join us as we get a chance to learn more about this exciting and awesome niche sport! If you'd like to learn more about Skeleton and even give it a try, you can check out the following website:
