Kripps recently posted a photo on his Twitter account that showed him and teammates in their underwear that ran on Perez Hilton and Outsports
Kripps replied on his Twitter account about 12 hours ago:
Looks like my website is censored in Russia, haha classic #SochiProblems I wonder if there's a camera in my room
Here's a look at how a kid from Hawaii gets to be a bobsledder...

It might be the only time we see him if he gets censored even further...

A "Cool Runnings" Sequel, Jamaicans Qualify For Sochi
We all remember the first round and how (pardon the pun) cool it was to have the Jamaican Bobsleigh Team work their magic on the course...
Starting with Calgary in 1988
((HT: IOC))
That was revisited 25 years later...
((HT: Global Toronto))
Now, after an absence, they have qualified for Sochi...
But... and it's a big but... they need close to $80-grand to make the trip...
Driver Winston Watts is back and ready:
"We're pretty good," Watts said after the Sochi notification. "We're not there with the rest of the world, of course. But we if had some more sources for funding, we'd have a better chance."
If you're so inclined, as the HQ is, you can donate through PayPal here...
We hope they make it...
