a pegless luge is a luge without the extensions that support the feet. these are more safe because without foot pegs there is less chance of the riders locking luges during a race. http://4.33.176.246/streetluge/images/misc/IMG_1925.jpg
the thing is the foreground is a pegless luge made by the roger brothers. this is basically a luge just with no foot-pegs.
http://4.33.176.246/streetluge/images/misc/IMG_1932.jpg
this is also a pegless luge made by darren lott. this is more of a extremly hi-tech butt-board, but its not a buttboard because it violates almost every buttboard rule, but it still looks very cool.
hope that helps

I've read the posts about Darren Lott's resignation from the IGSA, but I still don't have any idea what a pegless streetluge looks like. Anybody have some links or pictures?

Splitters give you 4 wheels on four axles using one truck. All of the wheels are parallel to one another and so they "fight" each other in turns when the frontmost wheels should be turning sharper than the wheels behind them. Thats why we use two trucks with independently turning axles. We shim the front cushions up to get the front truck to steer a bit more in turns.
Darren has two back-to-back wheels on each side of a single (Moe) truck in the front and back. With sideset wheels that take the smaller (.300") spacer, he has just enough axle length to do this. He has a shorter board than most and chose not to put two trucks in front of one another. 8 wheels total.
In the past Darren has used dual trucks front and back, 8 wheels total.

Mario, if you want to try the 4 wheels on one truck thing, you should try putting 10mm inner bearings into a randal spin axle truck (probably the 170mm would be better to keep the overall width down). You could then use a 10mm axle and the SiN bearings which would fit. For a good quality axle you would have to have one made, look for a shop with a centerless grinder. 8mm axle with that much overhang would bend, immediately.

mario, you meant those kwiksplit/moe things? Chaput claims they don't work, something about wheel scrub.
I like the 4 wheel on a truck idea, hope the axle wont bend.
I wonder how those moe trucks ride, too.

I was looking at the truck setup on Darren's luge and I wonder how hard it would be to make trucks like that. Couldn't I just put some axles in my trucks that were 2" longer than normal? Then I could mount the wheels back to back and get double the contact patch. This measn I'd have to use flush-back wheels, though. Or get longer axles for different wheel sets.
I've been thinking about doing two sets of wheels on a single pair of trucks, but mounting them front to back, like those inline wheels (I forgot the name, but nobody seemed to like them). Anyone tried that? Why don't I just use two sets of trucks in the front? Just trying to be different.

F-6 Racing is very excited about the 2002 race season. We had a successful year in 2001, considering it was our first season of racing. The National race in Bainbridge was a success and after hearing all of the positive feedback from the racers it will happen again in 2002. The town of Bainbridge is excited about the race being a yearly event. They only had one complaint, they didn't realize it was on a different weekend than their fall festival. On October 18, 19 and 20 of 2002 F-6 Racing/IGSA will be once again hosting the Bainbridge, Ohio Grand Prix. With the town of Bainbridge behind us and IGSA with us, the 2002 race will be a WORLD CUP EVENT held on the same weekend as the Fall Festival. This will mean a lot of people getting to watch what we all love to do....streeeeeetluuuuugggge!
In June of 2002, F-6 Racing is proud to announce that we will be hosting the US National Championships for IGSA right here in OKLAHOMA. The race will be on the Talimena Drive in the Ouachita Mountains located in SE Oklahoma. This is an exciting event! In March of 2001 we were told by National Rangers that we could not ride on this road. After working with the National Forestry Dept, Oklahoma Highway Dept, Attorney General and my State Representative it has been determined that it is NOT illegal to ride a streetluge in our state!!! We have been riding in the National Forrest again since August and the same ranger that ran us off in March is excited about the event and even helped make it happen!
We want everyone to get excited for 2002! It will be a ground breaking year with more racing opportunities than ever before. If anyone is serious about holding an event and would like some advise about who to talk to and how to get started, don't hesitate in contacting us.
We will see you all at the races!!!
Rusty Riley / F-6 Racing

Probably the best tires I have found (read: easiest to work with) are Bias-ply Truck Tires.
You can usually pick one up for nothing at a local tire shop... ask them if you can dig through the pile (tell them what it's for... that'll usually get you some extra cooperation!)
Look for one that would fit on a 16" rim or so... the bias models usually have a very nice flat spot that runs wider than a shoe.
I like cutting the sidewalls out first, then cutting the treads into 15" peices (makes for very easy storage in my space limited garage)
Since the flats are so wide on the truck tires, very little belt sander time is needed.
Hope that helps... HR
