i skrewed the trucks onto the long plank to form the wheel base and give me the main boby of my luge.
i also discovered that the long plank was to flexable.

now climb onto the luge and figure out where you are most comfortable. my foot rest was about 4 inches from the front. now find were your a*s goes and locate the board there. place a brick under were you are going 2 skrew the board down.

because of the truck being located were it is i had 2 make a T shape with the footrest to skrew it down.
i put a skrew about every 20-25cm apart.

the back rest that i made was made from a plank that i used for reinforcing that by luck it had a block on it and i used it to raise the back rest.

her is where i used the steel.
i used two peaces that we had removed from our ceiling long ago and stored in the roof of our garage.
i lined up the holes as best as possible and used coach bolts to fasten them down(up) .

this is an ad-on for if want to stop and the box is a good head rest.i skrewed the box down and inserted the kite and bar ib there places.
i used a 8square meter kite that i made and it did not work will (as a kite ) for the parachute. i used the bar for a spreader bar out the back of the luge to make the kite open. and the deployment device is a simple sain netting adaption. the one side of the parachute pulles out first then the other side pulles tight in the wind and stops you. mine weighed 21.5 kgs
