STREET LUGE
you lie face up on a modified skateboard, two inches off a tarmac and let go of yourself—without the security of breaks—rushing downhill at speeds exceeding 120 km/hour with only your feet to steer you clear of any oncoming objects, which includes other street lugers. It’s only for the strong-hearted with a reasonable recent fitness regime and a drive that goes beyond that needed for four-wheelers. Private roads with a challenging incline are essential, so we recommend spots around Eastbourne and Cotswolds in the UK
