Judging from the sponsor names, it appears to be German. The most visible name on the side is Glapor which I understand is a German foam glass company. If this is your sled, let me know and I will send you pics. Good luck in the Olympics! Now I will have someone to watch for. Thanks, Ron Hi Chris,

You see, those guys are only going a hundred miles an hour or so. You on the other hand, much different story. Thanks man, Ron Hey Carl,

You've never tried to photograph me bombin' down some fresh powder slopes on my snowboard. :) Sounds like you're having a blast - I'll do my best to catch up on your travels and get up to date. Great images. Cheers Carl Hey Ron,
