message for willy
Willy, if you're thinking of making your own luge but after some plans and advice, may i suggest you try contacting a lovely bloke over here in England called Ding Boston (dingboston@oxfordstuntfactory.com)who not only set up the UK's bungee jumping programme but also one of the guys who brought luging over to the UK.
If he doesn't have any actual plans, then maybe ask him to put you in touch with Dave Love (now Dr. Love after finishing his PhD), who made my luge for me. Based on the 2" aluminium tubing you mention with a plywood backboard and bike handlebars. footpags are simpler than the bike pegs you mention (i suppose you're talking about BMX pegs?) but we incorporate foot pegs into front crushable bumpers which are necessary for UK & European competition standards.
Best part of Dave's design is the fact that as made in sections, you just need to remove a few pind and it 'folds-up' of becoming a "porta-luge" if you ever need to get in into the back of a truck. Great design as this doesn't seem to alter strangth at all actually, but actually makes a very light, highly manouverable board. If you're just after pure downhill speed rather than a good slalom luge then you may want to add a bigger back board, but sure you'll work it out.
Anyway, good luck mate.
Send Ding & Dave my regards too if you get in touch.
yours
Rob Cooke

I,m finding out the do to the camping ground being closed .
There are less cars to have to deal with and the rangers are more tolerant to us riding during the week days.
Good for new bees and Veterans.
Dont ride alone.
So if you like riding mountain roads early in mornings.

thanks again PSR i think i'm going to go the interchangable truck mount way.....they are held to the main rail with four coachbolts and i've drilled a few sets for the z's, the randal luges and the dh's which will also allow me to change wheel base in a few minutes....its also got removable hand grips....as i cant fully revolve my left hand after a bone smashing stack it allows me to hold on to the seat pan....if they are deemed illegal then they can be removed and i'll just have to pray that i stay on with one hand.

World Council of Skateboard Associations
wrote in from
(68.6.nnn.nnn)
I'm looking for Luge riders to do demo's (non-paid) at the grass roots street events and meetings that WFSA and SPAUSA are doing in Santa Barbara, Ventura, LA and Orange counties.
This is a great opportunity for those of you that like to interact with the public to exhibit the luge sport to a lot of kids and develop new interest and attract new riders.
Please contact bobstaton@hotmail.com
At the ARS show in San Diego this last September, A new organization was formed called the World Council of Skateboard Associations. As one of the Board of Directors, I represent Freestyle, Slalom, and Luge. The WCSA has most of the usual skate organization heavies as members as well as many relatively unknown organizationa all over the world.
This makes for a great network to plug into for developing interest in luge activities.
There was no one at ASR meeting to represent slalom or luge so I took on that position.
I was invited to take part because I am the president of WFSA. I have also been active in the slalom world developing GRS activities. Most current luge riders have probably never heard of me, but I was a part of the pioneer era of luge development.
My Staton Team members, Kevin Karnes and Gig Lewis were regular fixtures of the Black Hill and Gelendora Mountain scene. I have been out of the luge loop for some 20 years so I need to be brought up to speed (haha) on what is going on with luge today.
I have qoustions:
Is there a Luge Association or some organized body that represents luge riders and activities?
Are there a few go-to persons that have a luge info network going?
Is there a luge video or two that I can show at meetings etc.?

Street Luge TV Coverage - 11/3/02...6:00PM (PT) KRON-TV Ch 4 Bay Area Backroads
Guys & Gals:
This last May with the help of a number of riders and under the direction of Bay Area Backroads and with the enthusiastic participation of Catherine Heenan, KRON-TV Channel 4 news anchor, a segment was taped on the Wild Fro Racing LLC Street Luge School at Dinosaur Point.
This segment will air on a "Speed Special" on Sunday 11/03/02 at 6:00 pm PT on KRON-TV Channel 4 in the San Francisco Bay Area. Check your cable listings for this program for you cable channel.
The Bay Area Backroads "Speed Special" will start with a segment on the Infinion Raceway (Sears Point), to be followed by the Wild Fro Street Luge School and then a segment on RC model car racing. This should be a really enjoyable show.
Bay Area Backroads is one of the most watched and respected programs in the Greater SF Bay covering things to do and places to go in California.
We hope this program will help to promote a positive image for our sport. Tell your friends, pass the word in class and at work. This is one of the best opportunities for us to expose the general public the real enjoyment of the sport of Street Luging.
My sincere thanks again to all that helped make this possible.
Regards,
Steve

Z-Rollers should have Both new and Old School hole patterns if they were stocked from early this summer.These have six holes in the baseplate.Ones from a year or two back were New School.Both these bases have a 'Butterfly' shape.Ones from three-four years (and older!)back were Old School hole pattern.These baseplates are square in shape. San Diego/G+S metal-truck bases fit Z-rollers too in a pinch...

thanks hugh...what i think i'll do is drill a piece of 4mm steel plate in the old school and new hole patterns and have them interchangable (maybe with two holes for coach bolts at either end so they can be bolted on and off the main rail)cheers again
