Hello and welcome to the site of shanemckenzie.com. This site is dedicated to the sport of bobsleigh, my experiences, my stories and the people I have met and the places this awesome sport has taken me to. Yes it's rather self indulgent, but who cares anyway? It's kind of like my auto-biography.

By having a browse through my website you will find:

  • New php Proxy at www.shanemckenzie.com/fm this is a great way to get around firewalls in the workplace!
  • New video section with some smples of movies, TV shows etc...
  • A comprehensive story anout my journey to the 2006 Olympic Games in Torino
  • Meet my friends, see other things I do and places I have been
  • Bobsleigh is a very expensive sport and sadly I am not a rich person, so I have to raise money through means of fundraising and seeking sponsorship. The amount is generally not much, but all the little bits help. Please make the effort to send a few $$$ my way for future funding...

    It all started soon after the finish of the 2005 season. Jeremy Rolleston called me up and asked if I wanted to push him in the 2-Man Bobsleigh for the upcomping season. He had decided to give the driving a go and started making plans on how to go about doing it. He had this idea that he could make it to the Olympics as a driver of a 2-Man Bob, he just needed someone to push him to a fast start time. That's when the phone calls stared to me, I had already had 2 good years of pushing a Bobsleigh at World Cup level and knew what it was all about...
