If my bags need holding, I will do it myself!

I would do the ride with no hands

Me, me, me... I wanna go. Wow! How good is that!

I've done a bit of summer luge over here which is a sort of flat go-kart in a concrete half tube track but that one looks excellent.

Oh, and I'll hold me own bag thanks.

Anyone in Midlands try the Cresta Run in Swadlincote, not as long as this but you can get up some speed, metal half circle track, and tow rope to the top.

Good fun, turn up and ride.

I had a go on one in Japan, quite the scariest thing I have ever done but even more scary was the mountain bike track running alongside. the guys on bikes were overtaking me in places .

Where did that go?

Been on something similar in Austria, it was a metal shute and you sat on a little trolley, nearly came of of it a few times, really fast and really fun, you've got to use those great mountains for something good in the summer months!

Theres a fairly long track in Landudno its the half circle stainless type track with a small trolley that you sit on.I had a couple of goes on it and used the brake in a couple of places the first time, on the second go I decided not to bother with the brake and ended up flipping off the track at one of the banked sections and got some nasty friction burns on my shoulder and arm but was good fun.
