Wow that's accurate. They look super cool.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 11 months ago

Yeah, absolutely.

Or like they’re actually the Wakanda bobsled team.

Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, it's bobsled time!

Is there a Badass Pic Award wherever they have to compete?

It's crazy to me that Nigeria has a bobsledding team, where would they practice?

Is weight an advantage or a disadvantage in bobsledding?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Weight is an advantage. While a heavier sled is harder to accelerate they build up more speed over the course of the run.

The minimum weight for the sled is 170kg. The maximum weight for sled and athletes combined is 390kg (Men) and 340kg (Women)

Thanks for looking that up for me. Do you have anything to add?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nope. I'm sorry. That was nasty. Reflective of my mood, not you. You did add to the conversation. And I apologize.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

No worries!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Honestly, it's quite likely they really never lost a real life lightcycle race

They look like the bad girl squad in Sayonara Wild Hearts

Didn't Daft Punk break up a year ago?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Break up, no. Retire, yes :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Well, they had a good long run and I hope they enjoy theur retirement. I hope they're relaxing on a beach somewhere

this picture is literally perfect except that they're against a white background. whose idea was that. turn that sh*t black, throw in some neon green edge lighting, and those three could be on a movie poster
