Venue: Biathlon Soldier Hollow The exhaustion and exertion of cross-country ski racing interrupted by a need for precision marksmanship. This sport has several events involving different distances and individual or team competitions. Bobsleigh Utah Olympic Park 4 man, 2 man, and for the first time 2 woman teams race down the 1300 meter long ice track. Experiencing in excess of 4 G's and racing at more than 95mph (155kph) the team with the lowest combined time of 4 runs wins.

    Extractions: In fact, one of the joys (and frustrations for us old-timers) on a slope is to watch a wolf pack of fearless four-year-olds schuss by and spray snow in our faces. What about the bobsledding? We doubt that you see much of it around your home town. So we don't cover it in this article. The same with luge. In fact, we've come to the conclusion that the luge is probably the silliest sport ever devised: Grown men and now women going 90 mph feet-first on a sled. Come on! One tidbit about the luge, however, that raises it somewhat in our estimation: In 1905, when Einstein postulated his Special Theory of Relativity in which he performed a "mind experiment" imagining what would happen if he could ride on a beam of light (that is, travel at a speed of nearly 670 million mph) the fastest speed attained by man on earth up to that time was a little over 90 mph, and it was on a luge! In any event, let's concentrate on how to photograph the winter sports you're more likely to find in your home area.

    Extractions: February 14, 2002 USA Luge held an exhibition at Smuggler's Notch January 26 and 27. Spectators climbed to the top of the track for time trials and a race. Photo: CMH With its downhill, ski jumping, bumps, and aerial competitions, the Winter Olympics are as much an exhibition of human bravery as they are an exhibition of athleticism. And, sledding events such as luge, with athletes who slide down gutters of ice at five G's and speeds over 90 miles per hour, are certainly among the most exciting to watch, never mind participate in. But, on January 26 and 27, everyday Vermonters got a taste of Olympic adrenaline as they donned their brain buckets and pointed their sleds downhill on a simulated luge track at Smuggler's Notch Resort. The day started with exhibitions of the sport by members of USA Luge. Then, the mere mortals climbed to the top of the track for time trials and a race. Sled racing is one of the oldest winter sports with documented appearances in Norway as early as 1480. The first international race was held in 1883 and, in 1964, it was inaugurated as an Olympic sport at the IX Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria. Now, the United States boasts two artificially refrigerated tracks in the United States: one at Lake Placid, New York and the track in Park City, Utah, that was recently constructed for this month's Olympic Games.

    Extractions: The first international race took place in 1883 with 21 competitors from seven nations, including the United States. The race was organized by hotels in the Swiss spa of Davos and took place over the 4-kilometer road from St. Wolfgang to Klosters. With the development of a more flexible sled came the "kunstbahn," or artificial track, which provided luge enthusiasts with a more challenging course. The first World Championships in the sport were held in 1955 in Oslo, Norway, with 52 competitors from eight nations. Two years later the lugers broke away from the FIBT, the bobsled and toboggan federation, to form their own Federation Internationale de Luge de Course (FIL). In 1961 at the International Olympic Committee meetings in Athens, three luge events men's singles, doubles and women's singles were added to the 1964 Olympic program.

    Extractions: t Source: Research Gravity Well it's been a long time since the last update...there is a lot of new things happening in the world of luge and standup skateboarding. This posting is to warn all streetlugers in the Calgary area that use Hwy 66, west of Bragg Creek. I received a call earlier this week from a unfortunate soul who became a victim of the new tax grab. The park wardens issued him a $450.00 stunting ticket, and confiscated his luge. Be very careful and be aware of the new fines. I'll try and follow-up with the results of his court appearance. Source: Research Gravity The Red Bull Streets of San Francisco was for the 4th year an absolute amazing event. 32 street lugers from around the Globe traveled to DeHaro St. to take on the "Cheese Grater" and launch off the craziest ramp I've ever seen. Thanks again Red Bull, Tom Mason, JA Productions and all the great residence of DeHaro Street for an awesome day. Click here for event pictures
