Wouldn't A Topless Race Like This Brighten Up Our Winters Here In America, Too?

Hotting things up on the ice: Naked sledgers battle it out in the Naked Sledging Contest in Germany

Naked sledgers hot things up on the ice in Germany's annual sledging race
Topless sledgers have braved the cold to take part in this year's naked sledging contest in Braunlage, Germany.

Metro - Thirteen men and 13 women dressed only in panties and helmets to protect their heads, took to the 90 metre long iced snowy piste to battle it out in the famous sledging race, a team event, which attracted over 17,000 visitors. The winners were a trio of hotel workers form the local area and they took home the title of 'Naked Sledging World Champion' as well as a shared prize of £1,000.
It is the third year the contest has taken place. Over 400 people applied for a place in the annual race but only 30 were selected to participate. Race organiser Tobias Wannemaker said: 'This year attracted more people than ever. The naked sledgers definitely got things hotting up, even in such cold conditions.' The 2012 naked sledging competition is already planned.

What's it gonna take to bring an event like this to the Blue Hills here in Milton, MA? If someone can organize this thing, the Speakeasy will put up the prize money. Nothing would break up the winter doldrums like watching a bunch of topless chicks flyin' down a hill on sleds. Lots of bouncin' and bumpin' and fallin'and failin' all over the place. We need to get the First Annual Speakeasy Naked Sledding Contest off the ground! Pay attention!
