Cool Runnings

[HeIsRisen2018]

This is one of my favorite movies that I watched last night. Has anybody ever seen this before? Did you know that it was apparently based on a true story?

Ever ridden a bobsled?
There's a reason they wear crash helmets and goggles.
Over 80 mph in an ice half tube...
It's cold and huddling up to a bunch of guys wearing spandex is not my idea of a good time.

Really like this movie and it's a good lesson on determination as to never give up no matter what.

Amen to that, I won't give away the ending to those who haven't seen it yet but all I can say is that it is very moving. Great, now I have the Jamaican chant stuck in my head.

Here's an interesting video that I saw earlier today. I don't think it gives away too many big spoilers. Also, does anybody know whether or not the Jamaican bobsled team still races since I haven't really kept up with the Olympics. I heard that they still haven't won a gold medal in it yet but the Jamaicans won seventy-seven medals in other stuff. Idk, I don't really understand it all tbh. And I'm too lazy to look it up right now.

Maybe he'll talk about it in this video that I haven't seen yet.


Edit: I watched it last evening and it didn't.
