I personally use bones Swiss ceramic bearings. I have run 215 independent trucks for most of my competition boards. I am not sponsored or support either company. Do your research and run what works best for you.
I was also inquiring as to what length of truck axles you feel are the best for this project I'm watching? Where is the best placement setting for your body between the wheels for max contact and control? Sorry, I'm new to this actual streetluge thing but I've watched it and I've mastered years of downhill alpine running at SkiBowl in Oregon where I live. We as employees took two apart and removed the brakes and replaced the wheels with rollerblade wheels and cool bearings. Needless to say have the employees ended up in the hospital but I have the record in the 3/4 mike long dual slide at 48 seconds. They finally found our (Special) carts and took them away🤣. Hell...! I already jump out of airplanes and cliffs along with hangliding and driving my buddies Ferrari, just afford a Ferrari but love going fast using gravity.
The length is in the name of the trucks 215mm. This varies in truck brands. This is why you need to find what works for you. Streetluge is an easy sport to learn. But years to master. A good board is only good for the pilot it is built for. The front truck/trucks should sit as close to your crutch as possible. They can sit a little further forward if you are running straight tracks. I would run multiple mounting holes on most of my boards. I would adjust the trucks position based on what the type of racing was going to be. I hope this helps.
+FinnDoesStuff03 there are many good wheels you can choose from now a days. while i would love to recommend some companies i don't want to seem i favor one brand over another. it really comes down to your riding style. if you like cornering and racing short tracks get a smaller wheel about 70mm to 80mm in size with a sharper edge to it for grip. for free riding get a larger wheel about 80mm to 90mm with rounder edges for all-round handling and better ability to soak up those road bumps and stones. i would recommend this option if you are just starting out. anything larger than 90mm isn't commonly used on streetluges and tend to be a little sluggish. i tend to stick around the 80mm to 85mm size range for my riding and racing. i hope this helps and i am sorry not to be more specific. but if you get stuck, message me.
You can luge just about anything you can sit down on. Your board might be a little harder to corner with being more slender than a standard luge. But, it would be doable.
Hello, they are 3 parts aluminum beam: 1 part head. 2 Central part or body. 3 front or feet. I would like to know: The length of the head part 1, the length of the central portion 2 and the length of the front portion 3 or feet. Excellent contribution. Thanks Greetings from the Andes, ARG
StadiumSanRafael sorry for my extremely slow reply. i have been busy building my jet luge project. to answer your question. there is no set length you have to have any of the beam's./ but a rough guide i tend to go with is for the leg and head. is about 20cm or 8 inches. the body pan you will have to measure from the middle of your shoulders where your spin makes a bump. to the top of you buttocks where your tailbone makes a bump. this will make the pan fit perfectly to your body. it will also help with handling. i hope that helps and again. i hope it's not to late of a reply.
Whats your bearing ? Thanks No speak english. From of Brazil, city Curitiba. Practice street sled. Thanks. Qual rolamentos voces usam ? Sou do Brasil, cidade de Curitiba. Prático street sled. Obrigado.
astrasparc i'm approx 190cm tall. if you want a body pan that suits your body. measure from between your shoulders. there's a bump in your spine at the base of your neck between your shoulders. measure from that. to the top of your tailbone. the bump at the base of your spine before it dips into your butt. this will be the top and bottom measurement of your body pan where the riser rise up. in other words, the middle of the board where your body sits. the tucks can be any trucks that are at least 180mm wide in the axle. i use indy 215's. wheel can be any wheel around 80mm and larger. i use a half inch riser to mount the trucks for free riding. lower for my race boards depending on tracks. hope this makes sense for you.
Thanks for the answer ! I've already have a luge but i plan to build one or two based on your model with some friends :) Thanks again for your advice !!
Thank you. That helps me out a lot.
Is 6060 good aluminium for that? I cant find 6061 in my country :(
What kind of trucks, wheels and bearings do you use personally?
What's the length of axles on your trucks?

My friend and I are going to build a luge board and we want to know what wheels to use

I have landyachtz switch. Would that it be possible to use it for luge? Thanks

I made a luge to these exact specs, it had absolutely zero steering no matter what bushings I tried, please help
Then you have certainly done something very wrong. I wouldn't be able to help with seeing pictures or videos sorry.
@@dazthecowboy I'm an idiot don't worry !!! Hahaha I had the rear truck the wrong way around !! Awesome tutorial aswell! How's your jet luge going!?
Thank you. I have built many luge's with those specs.
The jet luge is still going.
what about using carbon fiber. i build long boards using carbon fiber but they have a wooden core. could i make a luge out of pure carbon fiber.
Whats your bearing ? Thanks

Sorry for extremely late reply. Bones swiss ceramic bearings. Fastest skate bearing I've ever ridden.
where can i buy lugeboard or a butt board
you can go to the facebook forum Streetluge is not a crime! ask there and someone will tell you the best place to buy one in your country.
Hello nice work man !! I wanna know how tall are you (it's to adapt dmensions of the luge to me !)
Thanks !
