Itinerary
Day 1
The drivers are from the Latvian National Bobsleigh team and they have the 'Need-for-Speed'. They will run you off the edge and down a thrilling Olympic-standard track. Prepare to hurtle down the track at over 100 km/h for a 1-minute ride that will simply blow you away!! As you hit the last corner named ''The Wall'', for obvious reasons, you can hit up to 7G!! Track and sled specs: Track length 1420 metres Winter bobsled speed: over 110Km/h � hit 4-5 G! Cushioned bob speed: 70 Km/h Summer bob speed: 70Km/h Fastest Out There Track time: 46.6 seconds ***Please note, some service providers operating in Riga offer bobsleighing at cheaper rates during the Winter � they do not offer the Olympic bobsleigh. Instead they use the soft bobs � not the real thing!! Out-There Bobsleigh Adventure lets you experience both!

This extreme activity is not suitable for people who: - are heavier than 120kg - have problems with back or neck - have a history of heart problems - are pregnant! It would certainly be an interesting situation to go in to labour at 110Km/h!

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
