What Pros Use

Who cares about raindrops on roses when you have Matt Smiths hipster time travel and Benedict Cumberbatch's cheekbones of steel. Whiskers on kittens, how about adobe CS5 and my nook color and facebook and music. ALL AT ONCE.

And you probably thought humans couldn't fly. Educate yourself. Christian Maurer is the X-alps paragliding champ. It's hard to quite comprehend what this means so let me break it down for you.

Paragliding is similar to parachuting except you can cover long distances using natural lifts. It's basically flying. No superman, you're not the only one who can fly.

X-Alps is a 2 week adventure race where top paragliders fly and hike their way across the alps. Whoever get's there first wins.

What bike do you ride when you're the fastest sprinter in cycling. Apparently it's a Pinarello, though I doubt it matters much. Put him on a tricycle and he'll still drop me.

The equipment Skeleton athletes use is so specific there are very few craftsmen with the background and knowledge to make a piece of gear. Sleds are made by a handful of manufacturers, many still closely related to Skeleton competition. Helmets badged by larger companies often come from the workshop of one specialized maker. Even the suits they wear are skeleton specific and difficult to find outside specialty stores. You won't be finding this stuff at your local Sports Basement.

Bindled here are my closest approximations to the actual gear Kyle uses. The titles are spot on. The images, though sometimes not the exact items are very close to the real items.
