My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really.

Two man luge without the sled is popular in Austin.
It's widely known that this style originated in College Station.

No but I used to slide down snow covered levees on a piece of waxed cardboard. That was a rush.

Yes. Except for in spring when I made meat helmets.

We went to Calgary years back and they had a bobsled on wheels at the old Olympic track. It was fun but my neck hurt for a couple days after.
They make you wear a do rag under the helmet, Schmidt.

The most recent death at the Olympics was for luge practice in 2010. Got airborne after losing control, hit a steel beam at 89mph
Jeez, you would think they'd put a wall of some sort in front of those.
