Luge 3

Luge Sleds

The luge sled can weigh up to 22.7 kg (50 lb). The sled uses advanced aerodynamic design to reduce air resistance. Luge competitors themselves strive to improve their speed by reducing air resistance created by their bodies. Starting from a sittingposition, the competitor leans back as soon as the luge speeds up. Luges are steered as the competitor applies pressure on the runners with their legs and shoulders. MORE! [AM] {NR}
