My first three luges were woodies, so i would like to try metal to see the difference. My metal work teacher wants us to design our project so i chose a street luge. I'm planning on a pegless sled design with 4 Randal RII trucks and 8 83mm Abec 11 flywheels. Can anyone who a design like this give me some pointers or tips or steer me in a different direction to something hopefully better, thanks     Rate post 301647 !

Consider this; with your truck[s] mounted at mid-thigh, 2/3rds of your body mass is over that spot. Also, legs can increase angulation forces (point your feet Inside the planned turn) and are your primary brakes. Add that all up, and it just makes sense. Of course, back-in-the-day (not too long ago, actually), wheels made by rollerskate companies were the only 'big+soft' wheels readily available, and they would melt under certain high-speed, high-temp conditions. Krypto's even came with a "do not exceed 25 mph" warning label at one time. Having an extra pair in that kind of crisis certainly has saved my butt on occassion!     Rate post 296387 !

I found street-luge.com which has been a massive help. Im currently taking a Tool and Die program so im trying to get my teachers in on the idea of building a street luge from top to bottom. I have access to the cnc and some Cad plans for trucks. Its a massive project so im trying to pace myself with it. the pipe dream is to have most of the sled cnc'ed the trucks made and then if its not ungodly expensive to produce a mold for a luge specific wheel. right now though im just starting to think about designs. and for that i gotta understand more about the sport. Why two trucks at the front of the luge instead of the back? I still cant figure that one out. is that for grip when your sitting up for airbreaking? or is it a personal prefferance thing. I would assume that different configurations of the trucks might be better for different things. Straight line speed vs lots of twisty corners.     Rate post 296377 !

I believe they used to offer luge training.. I've posted a few tips/hints here myself. However, Dave Auld's site (auldovertheroad ? Not sure?) is one I recall as having some great beginner info.     Rate post 296336 !

I normally Dh but i wanted to try something different. And i gotta say riding a luge at 90km/h for the first time was the best thing i have ever done! Ok next step. How do i learn more where should i be looking and reading? and when i eventually get a luge what are the best things to consider when purchasing or building a luge. I understand that personal preference comes into it a lot, so i want to learn as much as i can before i drop too much coin into this. thanks in advance!     Rate post 296277 !
