If you are not familiar what the heck is Luge or Gravity Bike downhill about, here is a little overview of what to expect:
Similar to its counterpart seen in the Winter Olympics, Street Luge involves lying down on a custom-made sled with wheels. Classic Luge is similar to street luge, only you lie down on a board similar to a skateboard but slightly larger. And Gravity Bikes are essentially BMX style bikes without pedals. Kinda looks like those motorcycles from the 50'
