Cue the Beatles: "I'm a luger..." The X Games came to San Diego a few years ago. The one event I went to was street luge. Incredible. As a hard core bodysurfer, I always wanted to do the head-first prone thing, though. But I just wonder, how many prototypes did he go through, and how many crashes he's had.

As an adrenlin junkie I do sidecar racing. Here we are about to pass another rig like they were standing still. http://users.adelphia.net/~kowfeathers/passing.JPG That's me peeking out from behind :) The passenger on this rig is a girl that has more guts than i'll ever have. http://users.adelphia.net/~kowfeathers/740%20flying%20the%20chair.jpg A few years ago she took up doing road luge (sp). She hit a guard rail doing about 80 mph. It was two years before she came back to do sidecar racing again. She now wears bandaids to cover the spots that don't tan. That's where the bones came through the skin. Still this looks like a rush, and I havn't got many years left anyway ;) Bruce > On Aug 12, 11:12 pm, PsychoticStereo <PsychoticSte...@yahoob.com> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > As an adrenlin junkie I do sidecar racing.

SNIP One of these days I've got to get a set of race leathers and get job being the monkey...most of the current crop seem to be letting too much air between them and the ground. ;^) You have to be so close to the ground that the guys on the other teams are worried FOR you and not themselves. ;^) You might be crazy but I'm certified.

I wanted to try the monkey thing for years and finally just brought my leathers to the track and offered my services to anyone that would take me. A guy showed up that needed a passenger and a half hour later I was sliding around the track with a perfect stranger. We got two short practice sessions and then went racing. As we got ready to grid it started to rain. The driver offered me an out since he had never raced in the rain before. No way! We started 10th ot of 14 and finished 5th. My face shield kept fogging up so I had to reach up inside on the straights to clean it off so I could see the next turn coming up. http://users.adelphia.net/~kowfeathers/Pic1.jpg It was a blast. Been hooked ever since. Started doing roller blades 8 years ago to help stay in shape. Nothing as wild as the video, but I did do a lap of Loudon hanging on to the back of a bike :) Bruce > Started doing roller blades 8 years ago to help stay in shape. > Nothing as wild as the video, but I did do a lap of Loudon hanging on > to the back of a bike :) Um, Bruce? Just fyi, that's pretty damn wild. I think it might just be possible that your wildness refernce points are a bit, um, .... skewed. > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWLbu1wIIEo > > And It's almost on topic, there are bikes in the video :) Yikes! Wow. I rode Grimselpass and Furkapass in mid-June of 1983 and there was no traffic riding on its belly. The guy certainly has no fear. :-) These videos must have been made in late July and August. There was still a lot of snow up there in June. Signature-bts -Motorcycles defy gravity; cars just suck > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWLbu1wIIEo > > And It's almost on topic, there are bikes in the video :) Yep and he built a nice rig to do it with. It is a real shame there are no roads like that AND of that quality here in the states. It's one thing Europe has that I'm jealous of.

Actually if you look at 31 seconds into this clip hou can see that not all the roads have that great a surface. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obvDwkfZdXA&mode=related&search= But you would be hard pressed to find a place to do this in the states. Gonna have to do it and get outta Dodge quick if I don't want to end up in jail.

Now I get to pick the driver! Last year I chose a guy that does flat track and ice racing in addition to road racing. We finished third in the championship :) Bruce >> >>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWLbu1wIIEo >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Bruce PLEASE tell me you are near the NW!!!

I think the roller thing is a bit further over the edge :) Bruce > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWLbu1wIIEo > > And It's almost on topic, there are bikes in the video :) This has GOT to be CG. The road surface is featureless--no texture, no tire tracks, only a painted line and one color change. There are also no weeds/leaves growing right next to the road, and the rock faces look too...generated, no gravelly bits next to the road. That said, it's a nicely-done fantasy!

Have you been to Europe? Most all the roads in Switzerland, Austria and Germany are as smooth as glass. I rode my Beemer over Grimsel and Furka and other passes. There is vegetation along the road. And numerous Alpen passes have rock faces like this. > That said, it's a nicely-done fantasy! I didn't even think of CG... Signature-bts -Motorcycles defy gravity; cars just suck >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWLbu1wIIEo >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > That said, it's a nicely-done fantasy! Nope, not CG Denise, that is real. 3 reasons you don't see as many road imperfections as you are expecting: 1 - Speed 2 - Low quality video, compression will blur out imperfections 3 - This is Europe, not the US. Roads don't come with potholes =) As far as weeds & leaves on the side of the road go, doesn't surprise me either. Around here in Germany, they actually periodically go along the side of the road and cut down anything that wants to grow there. They have a special vehicle just for that purpose with an extensible arm which does the cutting. Not unlikely that the road in that video is maintained in a similar fashion.

I can't believe he was passing bikes on a gravity powered ride. Those wheels must get really hot. SignatureEthics are so annoying I avoid them on principle |
