Go-Karts Meet Luge On This Dangerously Fun Downhill Thrill Ride

Watching Olympic lugers racing down those ice - slick tracks looks like a lot of playfulness . But get a line to safely steer those tiny sleds while lie prone on your back takes years of training . If you do n’t have the sentence for that , theSkyline Lugein Queensland , New Zealand is the next best affair . It ’s a downhill race course where you ride a luge - like sleigh that ’s steered similar to a go - kart , so all you require is a helmet and a few moment of safety equipment training .

YouTuberLewis Knightswas kind enough to flog a GoPro Hero 3 + to his helmet before occupy a run down the Skyline Luge , and his footage confirm that this should most definitely be the next Olympic sport . Because where Luge is raced one at a time , here you actually compete with other riders on the way down , make for some great opportunity to pass on and blast past your opponent .
