SYNOPSIS: Here is champion Steve Podborski's own exciting and fast-paced story about the pressure-cooker world of ski-racing and how he beat the best in the world. Podborski was the most successful of the legendary and daring Crazy Canucks who changed the face of skiing with their dare-devil approach. Podborski and the Canucks attacked the slopes of the international ski circuit, their relentless drive to win mocking the laws of gravity as they skied at death-defying speeds, constantly performing feats contrary to instincts of self-preservation. Such tenacity and fierce determination brought success to the charismatic Podborski, despite three knee operations during his career. He became the only non-European male World Cup Downhill Champion, and a full-fledged international superstar. Winner of eight World Cup victories and an Olympic medal, a member of the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame, and now a successful businessman, Podborski tells it like it was in this candid and inspirational story of his life in the fast lane of Downhill ski racing, and includes: Breathtaking accounts of plunging down dangerous courses at high speed; Revealing portraits of the Crazy Canucks: Jim Hunter, Dave Murray, Dave Irwin, Ken Read, Todd Brooker, and others; Riveting descriptions of spectacular accidents that sometimes resulted in injury; Frank revelations concerning personal relationships; dealing with fear, money, and superstardom; Colourful anecdotes of life on the World Cup tour; the groupies, the jet set, the hijinks; Thought-provoking insights into the psychology of winning, how to be successful, how to handle it; And more.including statistics and results of every major ski race during the Crazy Canucks era.
