Luge Challenge

Luge is the fastest sport on ice, but not all luge runs are equal. Some are designed for people who don't feel like bouncing around a rock hard ice chute at speeds approaching 100 mph. Every season the USA Luge team tours ski areas throughout America giving civilians an opportunity to discover the sport. Dawn Church reports in this RadXSports video clip.

I accidentally deleted a comment. I wanted to reply but clicked the wrong "R" word. Here it is:

FlatOutTV has made a comment on Luge Challenge:

its so selfish that the olympics blame nodars accident on his inexperience while we all know that the course had fucking metal beams where they hit totalium(fancy word for how you curve when coming out of a turn to a flat)

it was the courses fault

RIP Nodar

My reply follows.

MY REPLY: They put netting around alpine race courses to keep the athletes out of the trees when they fall. You'd think they could do something to prevent slide athletes from flying off the course and into the steel beams.

omg that sucks screw that and put me on a real track i dont care

[sportingxixonastur]

[bobsledder4]

[TheGmcFilms]

[SynthieAl]

@bobsledder4 ah thanks

[bobsledder4]

@darkvideo54 yeah they have to keep a perfect line, and one little screw up can be the differnce between a gold medal and dead last, its a lot harder than it looks

[bobsledder4]

@SynthieAl journey: don't stop beleiving

[bobsledder4]

@Trevor10 go to lake placid on christmas, they'll send you down from start 5 in a luge sled

[bobsledder4]

@TheGmcFilms it might sound really crazy, but skeleton is actually the safest of the three. its the safest cuz it doesnt reach as much speed, and the sled is really wide, making it really hard to crash

[cactuarizamoron]

Gee I don't think I gott balls to go down a real track!

[omayrazouk]

It's strange...

It looks stupid and cool at the same time :P
