00:00It all started when I came up to Park City to take a bobsled ride.
00:04I was offered a bobsled ride by one of the team members
00:07and went up to Park City and took a bobsled ride.
00:13Did the four-man bobsled. I really liked it.
00:17And then, next, I seen a skeleton.
00:20And I said, I gotta do that. I gotta do the skeleton.
00:24So they let me do the skeleton.
00:27And the ride was so nice.
00:30I had to do it twice.
00:32So the second time I did it, it was even better than the first time.
00:38And they let me join the team.
00:40They started me off low.
00:42And I did want to start off higher.
00:44But I guess, you know, because of safety reasons,
00:47and I've never done it before, you know, I had to do it that way.
00:51So in order for me to be able to do it, I had to do it that way.
00:55And I did it that way.
00:56And I started off low on the 11th curve.
01:01It was kind of bumpy.
01:03It was kind of rough, a little bumpy.
01:05So then when they took me higher, the ride was a lot smoother and less bumpier.
01:12And it was faster.
01:14And I tapped out at 66 miles per hour.
01:18Great run.
01:20Hopefully that when I go train skeleton, hopefully I can get good so I can compete.
01:27And that's what's going to be next for Flav.
01:30So the next time y'all see Flav, hopefully y'all might see me in the Speedo going down the
01:35track head first on a sled.
01:38I want it to be a skeleton head.
01:40And I want my suit to be skeleton bones.
