Street luge

Recreation run down Winchester, Utah (Snow Canyon in background)

Street luge is an extreme gravity-powered activity that involves riding a street luge board (sometimes referred to as a sled) down a paved road or course.[1] Street luge is also known as land luge or road luge.[2] Like skateboarding, street luge is often done for sport and for recreation.

Other than the supine riding position and very high speeds (70–102 mph / 112–164 km/h), street luge has little relation to its winter namesake (luge).
