Posted for John Lewis webmaster Streetluge.com
Streetluge.com has been offline, due to a major server crash. The site should be back online, for the most part, sometime today. We are in the process of adding a new message board program that will be supported by the new server, as the old, (very old) message board program is not supported with the new server system. So it may be a day or two more, before the message board is up, but the site should be back online today.
We appologize for the delay, and inconvenience.
Thanks,
John Lewis

Mike, you are subject to arrest for just being inside the fences on US interstates, as a pedestrian / hitchhiker / whatever. Trust me, I got picked up a few times at the ditch skating spots in Maryland growing up. US interstates tend to never run out of cars, unfortunately. I bet US101 dropping into Marin would be good for 80-90mph on a luge, but hundreds of thousands of cars per day, non-stop.

wo there after re-reading my post I realise it could be misinterpreted as a direct defience against the safety this site so carefully implies, what I meant when I said "15 miles of holding your tuck could get a man down but y'know ... I spose life could still go on." I meant that holding your tuck for 15 miles could really wear you out but I spose you could handle it

I still wanna skate it, I've skated a national road and I saw only two cars the whole time! Any road can be empty at the right time, what do the police say about skaters on highways in the states?(must be something crazy)
also 15 miles of holding your tuck could get a man down but y'know ... I spose life could still go on.

Actually it's a bit more than a road... It's a multi-lane, well traveled Freeway (although technically it's a Highway) The steep part is around 15 miles long with around a 9% grade... many cars die going up it! There is probably 10 to 15 more miles of slight grade into Bishop. A very insane stretch of California... HR

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?
