Just a reminder for all who are “new” or who are
thinking about getting into Luge…
First, don’t be too fast to buy a
sled. You’ll spend a while on a training sled
(provided by USLA and the club) for a couple years as you get the hang of
it. Getting onto a racing sled too soon is a recipe for added
frustration and (frankly) a lot more pain. ;-)
When its time to try a pod sled, the club has a good selection
for use by club members at the track. You’ll get to try a few
and figure out what fits you. (Size does matter).
Getting a helmet that fits is a good first purchase.
That’s the piece of equipment I would consider first when its time to
start collecting gear.
Again, you’re entitled to use USLA helmets at the track,
so there’s no need to buy one right away.
Try the sport, make sure its for you, and once the bug really
bites (you’ll know when it has!), then its time to think bigger.
Regards,
Jim Murphy

Jonas,
Just curious, as I am thinking about getting into luging,
what did you pay for your equipment (new/used)?

used equipment, They're are in pretty good shape. Not sure where to
list the items for sale, and how much I can get out of them, but Im in
need of cash, bad. Thanks.
