i guess my point was this, the only design changes off of the streetluge.net construction plan that i can see are really simple mods that anyone could make by looking at the pictures of the lally and smrtic luges. it's not like your using those plans to try and make your own rogers bros. board. my only point is that the construction guide isn't really outdated. plus, if your a crappy welder using gussets to support your welds is never a bad idea.

Sean, since im talking to you in im, ill explain why i called the old bama design somewhat outdated there, but for everyone else, like i stressed, as for the alum sled designs they are all about the same thing, its just the simple improvements that have updated the design that have improved the quality of the legendary sled design. ie safer non fishook handles, pegless (debatable about safety), softer more impact absorbant bumpers, lighter weight, shorter wheelbase designs....simple little cheap mods that have updated the luge.

other then being pegless and the handles being shaped differently how different is the lally design from the "outdated" streetluge.net design? i'm just a skeptic and see a great priced metal pan with two pieces of C channel attatched to both ends of it in a sled style design.
looks close to the same design to me

the rewsport luge is the least expensive, best entry level race ready aluminum luge out there, and at 250 bucks us, they are a steal.
check em out at andylally.com
building at home is an option too if youve got access to the right materials, and heavy machinery like brake-presses and welding equipment for heavy gague aluminum channel.
check out streetluge.net's construction area for tips on building an aluminum sled, the design is somewhat "outdated" now compared to the newer design aluminum sleds, but all are the same general idea of using a curved pan as the structural center of the luge. i raced a board that was very similar to the rewsport luge for an entire season, and it was incredible, and it wasnt even near the quality of the actuall rewsport luges are. go for it!

Hi there !
I'm from Spain and I've been racing with my homemade wooden street luge for some years.
I'd like to buy a nice aluminium one, but here in Spain there's nothing about this...
Do you know where to get one ?
On-line buying ?
Some specific model ?
Maybe it's better to build it by myself ?
Thank you very much....
Capi

Sebastien,
Check out the CAN forum. Lots of Canadien action. The Montrealers threw a great a event with the Top Challenge this year. There is the Gathering happening soon. Slolom and Longboarders mostly, but probably a good lot of lugers too. Come on out, the more the merrier!

STEVE PEARL
Our prayers go out to Steve and his family.
We went to see Steve Monday afternoon and he was still being a tuff cookie. We got him a card and read it to him.
It had doctors standing around a patient and one doctors had a roll of duct tape in his hand. The doctor was saying that there isn't anything that can't be fixed with duct tape. When he heard that, he told us that is what he told the doctors to do.
It was really cool because it got a smile and little laugh out of Steve.
McLemore said it all, Steve is about the only person in this sport that is the hardest worker and would do anything for anybody. Steve’s school was doing very well and he was bringing in the money and it will be a while before he can get back on his feet so we all need to help out.
All donations can be sent to.
Wild Fro Racing
P.O. Box 7058
San Mateo, CA 94403
We will be holding a big raffle at Barrett and all of the donations will be going to the Pearl family. So all of you that would like to donate product for this raffle please contact me. Bob Ozman ozman.b@gravity-sports.com
Again the Pearl family is in all of our prayers daily.

Yes, I was refering to Steve. He took out 10 bales on Sunday hitting pretty hard. His back had a bruise in the lower lumbar region, and the last I heard he couldn't feel anything from the chest down. But his breathing was normal and he was conscious. I will check the other site, thanks.

Inspired by the legendary Leon Smith, Street Luge has its 1st Annual Riders Choice Awards. The Racers' Choice awards carry a great deal of respect in that lugers are judged by their peers. This is announced now, so when you are racing in Frisco, you can eye potential candidates.
These awards will be presented at the IGSA West Coast World cup at Barret Junction in October. If winner is not present, we will celebrate in your honor, and you will receive your commendation via snail mail.
Here is how it works - Vote for your racer to the criterion listed below. The list of racers is on the IGSA and GSI websites. The only rules are that they have had to race during the 2003 season in any event that is nationally or internationally recognized, and you can't vote for yourself. The person with the most votes in their criteria wins. Any ties will then be decided on the palate of judges of RCA (Racers Choice Awards). Winners receive, at this point, a certificate of commendation. However, we are looking for sponsors and shwag for each category - So, if you want to donate product or anything you think might be nice to get, please e-mail me at Luge668@aoldotcom, replacing the dot with a "."
Submit all votes to Jeremy Kahn (me!) at my e-mail.
----------------------------------------- --------
1. Top Male Racer
2. Top Female Racer
3. Rookie Of The Year (Must have raced ONLY during 2003 season).
4. Most Improved Racer
5. Street Luge Legend of the year (The overall best Racer, Person, Doer, just who you think is a legend).
------------------Parts & Performance-------------
Same rules and all, but this is for the manufactures to boast about an achievement!
1. Innovation of the year (Be it the boomless or the number plates.. Use your imagination!)
2. Luge of the year
3. Wheel of the year
4. Truck of the year
