    the season has really no effect on which type of luge it was...even though there was snow on the ground, the luge was on the street, and therefore street luge.
    yes, an uber-grippy, square-lipped slalom wheel IS the best for sliding

    I was joking by asking the question.... if you look close at the end..the luge was also in the snow............ the hard way...

    it's no secret.... It's in the title of the clip. There is only one road in the park... from ranger station to the parking lot by the river. It is a nice smooth easy going road with some flats and up rises. Top speed in a drafting situation was 52 on luge... not sure you would like it much on a speedboard... I do not suggest running this road during the warm season... winter is best because the park is unmanned and mostly not used..

    Man, that hit on the snow was awesome! Bet he's glad it was snow. Hey I wonder if my Park is unmanned. Got kicked out of it during the summer.

    Does the cold weather affect luge parts? Colder bushings and Flywheels? What would that do? Less traction?

    less compression in the bushings and less traction
