In argentina we call that that "culipatin" and you can do it either over concrete or in snow ( which is awesome). Done that in Bariloche with amazing views!
5 minutes of filling in later: "This isn't even my final form." (Joke shamelessly stolen from Imgur. I can't even give credit, because I reloaded the page and now the comment thread is refusing to expand for me, so I can't find the name of the person who said it.) TRiG.
I don't even remember signing one form for this.They just asked for our helmet size. They have nice breaks and it's easy to change speed on these; most people don't go down the whole thing in just 2 minutes...
Been there, done that! It was a really fun and great experience and really easy too. The base is wide and the entire luge sits very low so you won't flip over easily so don't worry about that part, haha
Some nice lines through those curves, and just the one wee wall tap that did not lose you too much speed. Does the front wheel slide (understeer) if you enter the tight bends too fast?
As a man of 25 years of age and no drivers license, that looks mighty awesome and mighty dangerous. I'd still do it though... After I'd written my final will and testament.
Where is this particular track (or which company/operator)? It is the only luge track there in Queenstown? The scenery is amazing and I want this track in particular!
Hi mate, yes this is the only luge track in Queenstown I believe, it's on the SkyLine Gondola company. Was amazing scenery and would recommend it to anyone!!!
for anyone who cares to know that handle bar doesn't stop vibrating/shaking the whole goddam time I have a place like this 1:30 hours from where I I've and I've done it a few times before
Tommy Saunders oh wow I forgot I wrote this. I did the luge in the new years and it was so fun! I didn’t feel like slowing down ever, and the turns at high speeds were exhilarating. Ah, the memories. Will miss it.
Heh, the first "recommended video" on my right has the title "Bad Luge Accident"... lets click that...yep, the same track. I wonder why its on the similar/recommended videos...
Finally someone that takes it serious and goes fast! I love it
As a Kiwi. It seems weird to read the comments and know so many people around the world have never been on a luge. Come visit!
Yea I’m a kiwi to
I loved this when I went here. I’m going back again soon!!
Just realized the handlebar applies the brakes. Very nice.
I went to Queenstown (I’m from Sydney) and went on the luge. It’s so fun
Looks like a hell of a lot of fun, Wish we had something like this stateside.
Thank you imgur for reminding me how much cooler New Zealand is.
The Queenstown luge is epic and so much fun!
Amazing
He is going on the faster and shorter track, there are two tracks. I've been there and the view is amazing!
+SYF2000 What's the track called?
I forgot but the view there is amazing, i captured it in my timelapse video on my channel ;p
Shit i'm tempted to go to New Zealand just to try this.
Absolutely want to do this. Thank you for sharing!
Adding this to my bucket list!
Superb
Awesome, this just made it to my bucket list.
Very very cool! Beautiful view as well!
luge coming to sheffield UK soon can't wait
That looks soooooo fun!!!
They have one like this in Rotorua as well. Heaps of fun, and then you catch a chair lift back up to the start to do it again!
I need this in my life. I need it now.
Haha yeah it was pretty fun :)
I did this at Rotorua last year... but your view of the blue ocean is damn amazing!
awesome, i know man it was amazing!
Aran Wakinaga Not an ocean, Lake Wakatipu
10/10 would crash, roll 15 times, and decapitate myself on the first turn.
Then go again
bryan8259 As a zombie.
And my ghost self would watch annoyed from the sidelines.
***** iunderstoodthatreference.gif
the most common rating systems in sports and leisure are out of 10
That is so cool. I wish I was there right now.
Good one
Amazing clips! Keep it up!
Awesome
From 2014 to 2018, the luge has changed a lot
❤️❤️❤️❤️
In argentina we call that that "culipatin" and you can do it either over concrete or in snow ( which is awesome).
Done that in Bariloche with amazing views!
Finally someone actually going fast and using the width of the track and at least trying to hit apex.
Watch out for the blue shells
Keep it up!
I went to Queenstown and I just came back to Sydney yesterday, I went here and it was super fun I just crashed once tho .
Oh how I miss New Zealand
✨
💖
👍👍👍
I HAVE to try this and I WILL try this.
Heyyy.... Super 👌
How many papers do you have to sign to ride this?

TRiG.
It's just a luge run, Jesus.
This is not US, pal.
I don't even remember signing one form for this.They just asked for our helmet size.
They have nice breaks and it's easy to change speed on these; most people don't go down the whole thing in just 2 minutes...
You don't sign any papers and the time of track depends on what course you take. (Advance, Intermediate etc)
Been there, done that! It was a really fun and great experience and really easy too. The base is wide and the entire luge sits very low so you won't flip over easily so don't worry about that part, haha
William Ng My first time riding alone was 11, then at 12 I rode the expert. TBH it's scary to look at but really easy and fun once you have done it.
Lol sorry for late response
I kind of really want to go to new zeland now, holy christ, that view!
not all of NZ is like that. South Island is for the view and fun, North island is for more city type life and working,
I rode something similar to this at Action Park, but this is way better!
Some nice lines through those curves, and just the one wee wall tap that did not lose you too much speed. Does the front wheel slide (understeer) if you enter the tight bends too fast?
This looks fucking awesome. Thanks for sharing!
No worries hope you liked it!
awesome vid
Awesome!
I would cry.
Poor fella, just wants to go fast but the people in front are too slow.
It's beautiful..
just did it last month at queenstown, m8 your speed is rly fast
Looks both fun and a little scary.
I've been here 2 years ago!
Do you need to bring our own GoPro straps or the place give it to us?
This is so cool man...
I know right, was awesome!
Niceee
That lake !!!
That's an ingenious way to force people to slow down.
As a man of 25 years of age and no drivers license, that looks mighty awesome and mighty dangerous. I'd still do it though... After I'd written my final will and testament.
Thank you
Good
Did this about a year ago, great fun. Nearly rolled a few times haha
I went there today it I so fun you should do it
New Zealand
Wait... there’s another luge in Queenstown????? I NEED TO GO THERE NOW!
Going there in two weeks!! So stoked. Question, how did you attach the gopro to your helmet?
looks fun. I want it. :(
And i cant even go to new zealand.. :'(
awesome
How and what mount did you use on your gopro? Looks like fun, great video!
Hi mate, I used a helmet with a stick on GoPro mount for this video! Worked great!
+Lewis Knights did they supply the helmet with the gopro mount or did you stick your own mount on?
Looks like the Lawyers haven't made it to New Zealand yet.
How do you control this? It looks like you just control the steering and let the down slopes build up the speed and up slopes slows down.
If you push the stick forward it releases the brakes letting you go faster and if you pull it towards you it applies pressure to the brakes.
Ohh.. makes sense.. I want to try that!
Where is this particular track (or which company/operator)? It is the only luge track there in Queenstown? The scenery is amazing and I want this track in particular!
Hi mate, yes this is the only luge track in Queenstown I believe, it's on the SkyLine Gondola company. Was amazing scenery and would recommend it to anyone!!!
+Lewis Knights Thank you so much!

look up skyline gondola queenstown
Just tried this in Queenstown, NZ. It's freakin awesome but I got stuck like one or two times. 😂
is it dangerous or can you slow down if you don't feel comfortable? i'm gonna be doing this in a month :D
@@ChannelTwentyTwo you can slow down ive done it before pull back and forward to slow down and spped up and side to side to turn .....simple
Tommy Saunders oh wow I forgot I wrote this. I did the luge in the new years and it was so fun! I didn’t feel like slowing down ever, and the turns at high speeds were exhilarating. Ah, the memories. Will miss it.
@@ChannelTwentyTwo hahaha
good on you
@@ChannelTwentyTwo sub to my channel
Hey, I loved watching your vid & it has prompted me to buy an action cam! What one did you use for this video? It's awesome.
Mary Pappas hey, thanks for the comment! I used a GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition for this video and used the wide angle option for an awesome view!
Excellent! I've just bought a Hero5 & can't wait to use it!!!
I must do this in my lifetime
i did this three times it was so fun
yooooo tighttt
well that looks fucking fun
is there wheels at the bottom of the luge?
Yeah there is, pretty fast :)
Cool :)
I want to go to there...
Welcome to mount wario in real life... exept its not snowing. 10/10 would kart again

haha i did this and i nearly flung off the cart thing during the turns
Heh, the first "recommended video" on my right has the title "Bad Luge Accident"... lets click that...yep, the same track.
I wonder why its on the similar/recommended videos...
Probably because it's the same track!?!?!
9gag army assemble!
Awesome video! How'd you keep the GoPro on your helmet?
+sxcbamboo1 thanks man! It's attached using a 3M sticky helmet mount, can get them from eBay pretty cheap too! ✌🏻
Needs power-ups!
This comment deserves more attention lol
Saw this on DAILY DOSE OF INTERNET
5
Me likey!
Just went like 10 minutes ago
U catch a chairlift up and a gondola
this is so much better than the singapore's one, singapore's too short and the view was boring.
Fucking awesome, wish I had shit like that here, well there is a go kart track.
Imgur sent me :)
I seriously do not get why is this exciting, did any of you never rode a motorbike in India. Its way too much fun!
Damn.. i wanna try that so bad.😁
***** If only we had these!
***** This isn't a water slide...
