Default Homemade luge + Video

Heres a video of my buddy going down a hill in our neighborhood on our homemade luge.


Heres a picture of it.

Its pretty ghetto but it works. My buddy and I had our friend weld up a much nicer one with a much better body pan.

Was there a helmet on that kid? He goes by so fast its hard to tell. A full face helmet is a must for any gravity sport. I would hate to see what happens if your face meets the asphalt at 50mph.

Also blowing through stop signs is never a good idea. There have been instances where someone was supposed to be watching the intersection and for whatever reason that didn't happen and the results were fatal.

Keep it fun but keep it safe at the same time guys!


EDIT -- I type too slow^^.

Yeah every time we took it out again we wore helmets. This was filmed like last year but never bothered to post it. My buddy isnt that crazy anymore so he doesnt go down big hills with no helmets. The adrenaline was flowing that day so he took it.
Oh and about the stop signs, we had at least 2 people at every stop sign.
It looks like he comes close to the car at the end of the video but its really not that close, he claims he stopped around 50ft before that intersection and thats what it looked like that day so yeah.

Whatever it made for a good video.

The nicer one that my buddy made has handles and better padding. No video of that one yet.

that was fast, just to say it again, you can only get head trauma once, and it makes you faster, and much more gutsy if you are protected.
