That may have been your best write up so far. But I kept waiting for the part where you all were getting set to go to the ER after hitting the luge. Sadly, that was not to be. I can only imagine it is not what I am picturing. They don't actually send someone with no luge experience down an iced track with the potential to reach speed nearing 50 mph, do they? And is is really cool that the Sports Park has a big adaptive activities section. I am a big believer that EVERYONE should have the chance to wreck themselves in the outdoors. This coming from a guy who just broke his hip on a backpacking trip. Cat Ass Trophy fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Mar 23, 2024 |

Dr. Lunchables posted:There’s a luge run in Negaunee (in the UP, not Negaunee Lake) that has a public luge run but I think you’ve gotta bring your own sled and gear. I never knew anybody who just showed up to luge without their own kit. OK, I know this is a bit of a derail, but I had never known there was such a thing as natural luge. I too grew up in the Midwest doing insanely dangerous sledding. Our family even had a 6 man toboggan that we took to the facilities in Cook County, Illinois. I think all of them are closed down now. As an adult with kids of my own, I now look back and wonder what the hell my parents were thinking. Loading 700 pounds of humans on a sled and then dropping us down a huge rear end iced lined chute. Good times. So now I am making plans to spend late January to early March of 2025 in Negaunee so I can learn and then master the sport in the course of 6 weeks. Hopefully I will be able to qualify for the 2025 worlds, as they are only held once every 2 years. Time to goonswarm this! Surely there is one among us who would prove to be a natural and Disney can make a movie about it.
