LUGEFORCE: - Build a Woodie     Disclaimer Build (wood luge construction) The following design is based on the aluminum drop-rail design: LugeForce and its contributors assume no responsibility for any personal injury or property damage resulting from the information contained within this site.  This information is only provided as a general description of how to construct a wood streetluge. The information is not intended as a detailed guide for building a luge or a recommendation on how you should construct a wood luge.THESE ARE NOT DETAILED PLANS. PLEASE CONSULT EXPERIENCED RIDERS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT MAY ASSIST YOU. This luge is HAS NOT BEEN SPEED TESTED IN EXCESS OF 45MPH. Note: A luge uses kinetic energy - i.e. once it begins to move it will not stop without your assistance or until it makes impact with another object - and will potentially exceed speeds that are uncontrollable. Ride at your own risk, within your limits and always wear proper safety gear.  Riders Info: Make sure that your fellow riders can find you from anywhere in the world. Add your contact information to the LugeForce database. Send your information via the Riders Database Form. For your privacy no entry for phone numbers is provided.  Finish and Ride Sand, putty, paint and mount the trucks and wheels. The front trucks are mounted close to the seat by most experienced riders. Note this shortens the wheel base. Some stability is lost in return for better steering/handling. It's recommended to research truck placement. Make sure you sand everything smooth, no splinters, round off all the edges and corners. Spray paint the rail and seat pan. Mount the trucks with 2" fine threaded (#10) screws with Nylock Nuts instead of lockwashers. Nylocks will reduce the chance of vibration "shaking" the nuts loose.Have fun, ride safe and always wear appropriate safety equipment with your new wood streetluge. Many pro riders have sites with photos for more reference or better yet, attempt to attend an organized sanctioned race to not only see a luge upclose but to also make further inquires about this and/or any other questions. Riders are thrilled to have your inquires.
