Boom VS boomless
On 2/9/2007 Racer X wrote in from United States  (64.115.nnn.nnn)

I started with a boomed luge first (and love it). I'm getting a pegless Velum Street Missle luge from France, so I can broaden my horizons with
it, and race in 2 different classes.
(Cant afford the TRS) So getting the Velum at a fraction of the price (no offense to Steves luges).
Thanks man.

Boom v peg
On 2/9/2007 Bob wrote in from United States  (132.250.nnn.nnn)

Classic is just a nice or proper name for buttboard.A type of spec class for laydown longboarding. description and pictures here. No pegs on this

A street luge can be with or without pegs... but the pegs/boom is really being phased out in popularity and performance... Start with pegless and you will not regret it..

Hey, your old coach here... Talk to the Roger's Brothers about a sled. They do great stuff, and they can make it to fit you perfectly. Oh, hey, and get some Good leathers, and pick your shoes (brakes) carefully!!
I can't wait to see how fast you go, considering how fast you slalom!

Luge
On 1/26/2007 PSR wrote in from United States  (75.69.nnn.nnn)

Ryan, you'll have to Search for yourself... However, Luging is not a 'high cost' sport (unless you count Traffic Violations), as it's the Rail (board), safety gear (helmet, leathers, gloves) and Brakes (Shoes!). Costs for a complete set-up should be under 2 grand easily, with gas money to spare.
A less-expensive, not-quite-as-fast alternative is 'Buttboarding, where the sleds are restricted in Length, width, simplicity-of-construction, wheel-sizing, and have no Footpegs. They're fast, but better on short hills. Otherwise, it's a nearly-identical sport, worth looking into if your hills are are less-than 2 miles long, or you're on a tight budget.
I can't say whether GSI is still doing Luging Training, but they used to up in the White Mountains in New Hampshire. there are also some local groups in various areas, like So-Cal, Vegas, Oregon, South Carolina, and New England. I hope you get into it. It's been a fun sport for me for nearly 30 years, and I've only had 2-3 scars (one took my freckles off my arm) result in thousands of over-the-speed-limit runs. What you can descend without worry is amazing if you think like a Skateboarder, and is comparable to what Motorcycles could do 40 years ago in terms of handling. There's nothing quite like feeling the tarmac rush by, inches from your body, at a-mile-a-minute or faster! Good uck finding a goiod sled and gear!

Buying a cheap luge board
On 1/25/2007 Ryan wrote in from United States  (146.163.nnn.nnn)

I just got into college and we found it fascinating to go down hills on our skateboards. I was wondering how much a real luge board costs and where I might find one to purchase.
