Ever do it with the visor up?
boys will be boys
Is a bigger bulge a competitive advantage in this, too?
I'd assume more size = more wind resistance. But if there are any players that lose because of it, I can give them a participation award that will annihilate some silly troply or medal...

I watched a comedian say that you could force a guy onto one of those things and he could probably win an involuntary gold medal
MAN SANDWICH
Luge is confusing enough. This is just moreso.
Seriously. For both events, I feel like the skill curve starts at "try not to die" and just keeps climbing in degrees of "get better at not dying" and "point your feet in the right direction".
When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
But for real, it's a dumb sport. All sports are dumb, but this one more so than most others for sure.
A Dutch talkshow host absolutely wrecked the notion of this sport, and skeleton as well. It's basically just going down a slide one at a time on a little sled, was his point. And the difference between these sports is the way you lie on the sled.
The main difference between Luge and Skeleton (beyond the obvious) is that in Luge you launch and accelerate with your hands and arms. In Skeleton you do so with your legs. That's a big reason why they're both valid as olympic sports.
Now, hang on to something here, I'm about to blow your fucking minds - what if we have a different name, and we get to use all our extremities?
We could call it, uh, Gofastdownhill. Write that down. WRITE THAT DOWN!
We have that, it’s bobsled.
Yeah it's like louge doubles but doubles and sitting up right.
And skiing is just sliding down a hill with 2 wooded planks strapped to your feet... What's your point?
