History has it that Street Luge evolved from Skateboarding; lugers from Oregon to Austria claim to have pioneered the sport, yet no one is certain from where, and when, the evolution between skate and luge occurred. All the politics aside Street Luge continues to be a X Games staple and a crowd favorite. The event will return to San Francisco's Seal Rock Run Aug 11-13th, which has been dubbed by many lugers as one of the best Luge courses in existence. The riders begin high in the residential district of Alta Mar and make their way around several curves and pitches, passing the historic Cliff House restaurant, and make their way along the one of the city's most scenic drives till they reach sea level at Ocean Beach. The pitch is perfect, the curves narrow, and you can't beat the view.
