On Board Luge Crash at Lake Placid

On-board video sliding Luge at the Lake Placid, NY track. The run starts at the Junior start. I entered Turn 14 late, got a bad exit and hit the right wall. I almost correct before crashing again in Turn 17.

I'm starting my 8th season ... albeit not as frequently as someone on a team. As a Master's/Club slider, I'm doing good to get a hundred runs a year. I've only done that the last couple years. In this run, I made a little mistake that cause the original Chicane hit, but compounded it with a dumb move in the recovery that caused the secondary roll-over in 17. If you notice, I *almost* save it.

I find 14/chicane actually easier from Ladies than Juniors.

@ADDinHD lake placid is actually the third hardest track in the world, they had to tear down the old luge only track because it was too hard

i didn't realize how friggin noisy it is & the visibility seems pretty bad (at least from the video). some turns just look like a wall of white.

good luck.

Whistler is the fastest track in the world and the deadliest. Someone died on the track today in Olympic training :(
