Luge is one of the most thrilling and intimidating events at the Winter Olympics. Athletes lie down on a sled, hurtling down an icy track just inches from the surface at high speeds.
But in Michigan, the sport is not exclusive to experts. At Muskegon Luge Adventure Park, visitors can get a front-row seat to the fastest sport at the Winter Games—and even try it themselves.
Jagger Reynolds, one of the managers at the park, said, “They’ll see this and be like … a crazy thing you’ve got.” He described the experience as “a thrill.”
The Muskegon track is one of only two publicly accessible luge tracks in the country. “As far as we know, two are publicly accessible, and we’re one of them,” Jagger said.
People come from various states to try the sport.
Hobie took his turn on the luge, too! Check out the full story in the video player above.
