Just a few corrections for the last post. First off, the TRS '06 costs $800.00 US. This is for a boomless version of my design. I build each to the specs of the owners size and weight with some allowances for personal preferences( handle height,length, sled weight, etc) I built one for Justin of the Toxic Bros Racing, take a look at his site for pictures of his sled. It contains some performance upgrades that I feel makes the sled much more responsive to rider input. My sled typically weigh in around the 25-30lbs which I feel is optimum. I build each sled to be a complete "Take-Down" which I developed to facilitate travel. This feature also makes repairs easier while "out-in-the bush". A problem I encountered while participating in the Playstation Games in Australia. If anyone cares to hear more or see pics, just write me... I'm happy to answer and "bench race".

Fernando's TRS luge costs $900 a great piece, the Velum costs $600,
and the SC8 probably costs $39,450....wel it might as well, I'm sure
it's out of everyones price range like thier boomed luge. It just
reaks of technology. It was either the TRS or cut my boom off of my
existing one. Here is the SC8 from france, TRS from the USA,
and a Velum from france, I personally like the Velum.
Minimal parts, not bulky.

Fryer then faked diving into the last hairpin way too early and then swept back to the outside, causing Forschner to break immediately, and putting him a little out of control.
thanks for the tips, we gonna see us again on some tracks....
have fun

Hey John, there was a company called 1) Inazuma, made really questionable luges, and 2) Xtreme Wheelz.jp (originally owned by Rick Wilson) also went under.
As far as I know, I did a little research, there is no company in Japan that makes them anymore, but you figure they have to be somewhere there. You'd figure they would make one. Keep looking, you never know. I'll keep an eye for it too. Only cause now it's a mission. I'll let you know what I find.

Back in the day I was apart of the US National Luge Team. (olympic style) I got away from it because I joined the Marine Corps. Well I am currently stationed over here on lovely Okinawa, Japan and have gotten the itch to do luge again. Well of course since its a sub-tropical island there is no chance of snow but (there are plenty of HUGE hills here) I want to pick up a "Street Luge sled" Can someone point me in the right direction so I can purchase one? I don't have the time or resources/equipment to build my own, otherwise I would.
Cheers

Hey, I bought 2 luges, and they avg from $150 up to $900 and more, but realistically, around $250-300 with shipping if you look around. There is one on ebay from Australia, but I got mine from the states. Some will tell you to "build one, it's cheaper and you learn". But I live in an apartment and I'm lazy. Good luck.

This last weekend was our Learn To Street Luge Day here in Columbus Ohio thanks to A.D.Farrow Harley Davidson.
We were expecting a turn out of 150-200, but due to some Ohio weather didn't get the full turn out. Never the less, Central Ohio is not full of new street lugers.
The one day event with 6 hours of luging was open to anyone in the Columbus area, but focused on children 8-15. Despite the focus on children, we found more adults taking an interest. The event was rounded out with free food and music from CD101, shwag from Ninja Bearings, an appearance by the Columbus Bombshells, and an appearance and the chance to try wheeled Ice Luge sleds from the US Ice Luge team.
Despite lower than expected turn-out due to weather, I think everyone involved was very happy with the response from the event. We will be holding another Learn To Luge Day this fall. The sponsors are also looking at expanding the event to team building programs, and more of an adult focus as well.
The US Ice Luge Team cross-promoted for the event and the Slider Search held on the same hill this Sunday. A big thanks goes out to them, A.D. Farrow Harley Davidson, CD101, The Columbus Bombshells, Ninja Bearings, Demon Promotions, Scott Peer and the Westwood Ski Club, Smokin Joe, Scott Edwards, and all of our volunteers.

Athlete/Equipment needed for "Learn To Street Luge Day"!

I need other riders and eqiupment for Saturday May 13th here in Columbus Ohio for the Learn to Street Luge Day brought to you by A.D. Farrow Co. Harley-Davidson of Columbus.
This event is geared for children 8-15, and will take place from 10am - 4pm on the Soapbox Derby hill in Big Run Park in Columbus Ohio. Children will have a chance to learn one of the world's most extreme sports along side professional riders. The Columbus Destoryers official dance team, The Bombshells, will be on hand along with the CD101 ice cream truck for music and food, along with other extreme exhibitors. The US Ice Luge team will also be in attendance meeting participants and registering children for the following Sunday's USA Luge Slide Search on the same hill.
Right now I have a few luges, but could really use as many board and riders as we could get. Even if you can't attend, anyone willing to donate equipment for the weekend would be greatly appriciated.
This is a great chance to legitimize the sport and bring it into the public eye in a family/community friendly, and safe way. We will be doing several radio, tv, newspaper spots and mailings and expect to bring approx. 150 participants.
Visit http://www.DeanStreetLuge.com for more information.
Anyone who can help, please contact me at dean@deanstreetluge.com or call at 740 405 6848
Big thanks already to AD Farrow Harley-Davidson, Demon Promotions, CD101, 99.7 the Blitz, Scott Peer and the Westwood Ski Club, US Ice Luge team, and all of our volunteers.
