    - No, that is the street louge. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 11:39
The NBC life feed today is from the luge practice runs. Damn, we could have seen that live. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 12, 11:25
one quote i read about the luge run was that one turn was so hairy that odds of crashing were 50/50....nm - x Feb 12, 11:23 13
- and that's actually what the corner is called. -- nm - mafic Feb 12, 11:29

- YSMIM! - Spawn Feb 12, 11:27 10
  - when the president of the luge federation is worried about the safety of the track due to its speed...that's something... -- nm - znufrii Feb 12, 11:28
  - This one definetly passes my Olympic sports test. - Will Hunting Feb 12, 11:28 8
    - Someday, I'm going to pay to do a bobsled run down the training track in Lake Placid. Someday. -- nm - TFox Feb 12, 11:29 7
      - I went luging just before the calgary olympics. lots of fun. -- nm - mafic Feb 12, 11:41
      - I'd do it too. Looks like fun. Though I'll probably crack my skull open. -- nm - Krusty Feb 12, 11:40
      - sure, as long as I get to be one of the middle people on a 4-man team... -- nm - znufrii Feb 12, 11:33 4
        
        ah, you like being the meat in a 4-man sandwich, dontcha, Trebek? -- nm - TFox Feb 12, 11:36 3
        
        In the instance of bobsledding down an olympic-level track, I'd like to not be the one responsible for not crashing the damn thing thankyouverymuch. : -- nm - znufrii Feb 12, 11:37 2
        
        in calgary they have a special tourist bobsled that can't crash. -- nm - mafic Feb 12, 11:40
        
        bobsledding spoils - TFox Feb 12, 11:38
Jeebus. Also, put me down for "Skeleton riders are the most insane people around" - Will Hunting Feb 12, 11:23 11

- I had an ex who did it on skateboards. - the liioulu with less leggings Feb 12, 11:34
- Wii luge would be cool - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 12, 11:30
- I still don't get skeleton. It's like if someone said "skiing is cool, but it would be a lot cooler barefoot." - TFox Feb 12, 11:24 7
  - Skeleton is for people who aren't good enough to win at Luge, and lack the instinct of self-preservation -- nm - Beryllium Feb 12, 11:26
  - It's just reverse luge.... - Will Hunting Feb 12, 11:25 3
    - I want to see people try ass-first luge. -- nm - Reagen Feb 12, 11:28 2
      - I want the figure skaters to do the luge track. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 12, 11:29 1
        
        You want Red Bull Crashed Ice. -- (link) - Reagen Feb 12, 11:33
  - honest answer: started as lugers who weren't quite good enough. -- nm - mafic Feb 12, 11:25 1
    - the ones that whined too much about not making the team, so they tried to come up with a good way to give them concussions? -- nm - TFox Feb 12, 11:26
