CLASSIC LUGE

FORMAT: WORLD CUP COMPETITION

Classic Luge in its simplest terms is old skool street lugeing with some major differences.
A classic luge is made from a single piece of wooden deck, with standard skateboard trucks and wheels and does not have the usual handles and footpegs of a streetluge that restrict your body position. When riding a buttboard there is very little to hold onto apart from the board itself. This means that classic lugers have evolved their own extreme riding style, using their entire body to carve the board through the turns, often sliding the board round corners in a four-wheel-drift and often results in riders becoming tangled and colliding with each other.
Hold on people – this is gonna be one hell of a ride!
