Rumour has it that Streetluge.com has been purchased by a really nice guy who lets you put up your own Streetluge Related link for free. Ain't it swell?

To all you Street Lugers, there is this hot young bomber named Aneila, if she keeps practicing, she will give you a run for your money, she looks fearless.

IGSA will be running the Unlimited Street Luge class ONLY for the 2003 season.
IGSA came to this conclusion by having an open vote. When we made this
announcement it was posted on as many message boards as we could and
we sent out over 400 e-mail's. If you never received an e-mail it is because
you have not updated your information or registered with the IGSA.
We look forward to seeing all of you this year.
Here is how the votes came in.
UNLIMITED ONLY 73%
BOTH CLASSES 27%

Hey 99Brett
I bought one of those luges you are talking about. I took the R-2 and ABec wheels off of it and put Indy 215s and Sector Eight Balls on it. That luge will not pass a race inspection. So I am willing to let mine go cheap. Keep in mind that I bought the first one they put on ebay...it cost me 575 bucks. I won't charge anywhere near that much.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone can offer some advise. i currently ride slalom, boarder x and some downhill and wanted to get into Luge.
Can anyone tell me where to find luges to buy or basically the best priced way to do it?
Also do you pratice on roads like we would for downhill, which means just to hit big hills regardless of cars because on a luge you are very low and almost invisable to cars etc.
Is it legal to luge a hill?
Let me know if you can help or advise anything,
laters

Why do people call them boomless , when they go mid-calf ?
Evening out rear truck loading is something I have been actively pursuing for quite a while now . It is possible to accomplish this . See hc's site under freds luge truck . And don't be afraid to ask questions...

If you feel its necessary to add weight to your luge, you need to add the weight in such a manner that you don't change your weight distribution of your board as it is currently. If you change your weight distribution you will have to change the way you ride.
But you don't really need extra weight. Learn to draft. Ride smaller, you'll punch a smaller hole through the air, giving you a huge advantage.

im gonna try to add the wieghts , but , i also think i might just start working on a new board , or actually commit to saving up for a rogers . i dont know it might mean me only hitting scatterd races unlike my dream to hit the whole season like ive been planning to do for the last 4 years , i hope to figure it out by maryhill .
oh yeah , if i get a rogers should i get it with booms or w/out , i figure it will be heavyier with the boom , but i am more apt to the plus's of the boomless , except then im back to point A again adding weight to the board to keep up. anybody have any ideas.

unfortunately u r incorrect. Momentum will cause the weight to slide forward when going into a turn due to the speed loss. If u used a pendulum device to cause the weight to do the opposite that forces cause it do do... u could get some results. looks like its IGSA unlimited class for u.....

brad, don't waste your time,
the weight won't slide backward in the turns,
it will only slide backwards when you spin out.

Brad, you're idea is very good. I do see a problem though...if it's going to be enough weight to make a significant difference in your speed, then there's a possibility it's going to be enough weight to make a significant difference in your braking also. When you put your feet down that weight, be it ten, fifteen, twenty pounds is going to be forced to the front of that pan adding momentum to your luge. It might not be enough to make a difference but it's something that should be taken into consideration. Good luck with it!
