Well the auction for that custom gravity bike fork is over and the winner is... "DR.NO!!!!!!"
Thanks for supporting this good cause and the money will be donated to the Injuried Riders Fund". For info. about this fund, go to www.gravitybike.com.
The fork went to a good home... hopefully we will see it at the races this year.
As "the Squirrel" would say, "Cya at the hill".
Laters,
EK

If you are new to the sport... spend $14.95 and buy the Street Luge Survival Guide by Darren Lott. It is a must have. Don't consider it a purchase, think of it as an investment! Ride safe...

Eric Eisenberg, On GravityBike.com you posted the following message:
anyone intrested i a gbike fairing i produced these so im offering them for sale im current ly moving so my phone is flakey right now but if seirous e-mail me(only if seirious im not kidding)
Yes Eric, as a matter of fact I am interested. I discussed with you the need for new fairings and you agreed to use one of my fairings to produce a mold to work from for these new fairing designs. You would not set a price for the mold and told me to wait to see what you would have in them. I did.
That was in early September.
The fairings were supposed to be finished in time for the riders to use them at the Bainbridge Gran Prix.
I have contacted you on multiple occassions attempting to atleast pick up my fairing and you elude me every time. Numerous phone calls have gone unreturned by you. I have tried all conventional ways to have MY property returned to me. Latest phone call was made four to five hours proir to your posting of this message and you neglected to return the calls and then post offering the result of OUR business agreement to the public.
I now request publicly that you return my phone calls so I can arrange to have my property returned to me.

OK OK I'll read it, but I am having allot of fun(safe fun) already. I added a truck to the front and tightened them all and the slight wobble I had is gone. Turning is easy, just requires a little body english. I am doing 38 - 40ish mph on the hills, but only for about 10 seconds. I need a longer run.

shrox, if you are new to street luging, get the book, don't be cheap, this will be your best investment.
i will dig up JohnO's number, he is a dreg's rider and might be close to your area.

Hi hc,
I live in Eureka, in Humboldt County. Redwoods, rain and pot. It is about 6 hours north of SF. I moved here from the Bay Area about 3 months ago, before I discovered streetluge. My second woodie is finished and the better wheels make a big difference.
No I have not read the luge survival book, but it all seems pretty straight forward, common sense, safety, and being aware of your surroundings. I found the IGSA rules online, my board seems to qualify.
Thank for responding.
Shrox

I am building my second woodie after building my first last week. Had to stop because the saw is loud at 1:00am. I live in Eureka, California and I am looking to meet some lugers. I have some nice hills a few hundred feet from my house, but I want to run a long stretch.

Hi Everyone
First I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday.
2002 was an interesting year for Gravity DB http://www.gravitydb.com . What started out as an effort to find other athletes has turned into a substantial database of information. I was surprised when the Athlete count reached 50 then 75 but now it is on the brink of reaching 100.
2002 saw the addition of webpages for Message Boards so everyone can check the most popular message boards from one page and Auctions/Classifieds to do the same thing.
Who knows where 2003 will take Gravity DB but already in the works is a FAQ/Tech Center database so key individual will have the ability to add their experience and knowledge for others to learn from.
Also, don't forget to update your profiles especially email address and ages. To do so use the following link to go to the Gravity DB http://www.gravitydb.com main page and click the Member Login tab in the upper right hand corner of the screen. I have added birth dates to the database so if you choose to enter yours you will no longer need to update your age every year.
For those that would like to join use the following link to go to the Gravity DB http://www.gravitydb.com main page and click the New Member tab in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
I hope everyone has a safe and exciting 2003
Roland

I like the idea of keeping with skateboard trucks and wheels... or something similar... non-pneumatic wheels... skateboard wheels up to 4" or so...
farings and other aero gear but maybe with a less than 50% of the riders body can be covered... would still like to see a total max weight spec too, as well as length/width...
Sounds very cool so far!! I'll build one... HR

Evolution of the sport (race held since 1920)

between these two eras, faired bikes became popular because they were easy to build. But in this race you have to push up a hill first, and again at the end. Pushing a bike is hard, unstable when slow. The low 3 wheel design is much faster than a bike anyway. These races are 3 in a heat bikes were involved in some huge crashes and got banned (big pinwheel, haybail-jumping crashes), now its 3 wheel minimum on ground at all times.

Thanks for the link. The "Virtual Edge" cutaway shows pretty much what I was thinking, except that I was imagining a 3- or 4-wheel design. Anyway, I've trashed that design and come up with something else with smaller wheels....
