Road Kill

Looking for new ways to amuse yourself at the weekend? Why not try Street Luge! Created in California by apparently bored skateboarders sometime in the 70's Street Luge offers people the chance to hurtle down the steep and sloping roads at speeds of up to 70mph. While over the years safety equipment and guidelines have been issues by various governing bodies Street Luge never quite maintained a grasp on the mainstream sport industry and has often been overlooked in favour of stadium extreme sports. Nevertheless there is still thought to be over 1200 lugers worldwide and if you want to help them raise the profile one more check out the vid for an insight into what these guys get up to!
