STRAIGHT

Take a sitting or lying position on the sledge with your legs straight, with your feet loosely placed next to the outer side of the skids. Both hands hold the control cable loose. straight

BRAKING

In an upright sitting position with your knees bent, place both feet with the soles of your flat shoes on the snow next to the skates of the sled. Either both hands pull on the control cable or just one while the other clings to the buckle behind the sled seat. To stop quickly, hold the control cable more forward with both hands and pull the sledge up in front.

If the "Brake Steer System" is installed, both brake claws come out and decelerate the sledge if the luger goes in the position described above.

GENERAL TURNING

Always reduce the speed before the turn in order to drive the right speed when entering the curve. Always approach the bends from the outside so that you can bring the sledge in a straight position earlier and accelerate again on the exit of the turn.

LEFT TURN

The sledge is steered by shifting your own weight to the inside of the turn. To do this, the left hand is stretched out openly, while the right hand holds up the runner on the inside of the curve by pulling on the steering cable. At the same time, the right foot pushes against the front of the right runner while your left foot remains loosely stretched out next to the left runner.

If the "Brake Steer System" is installed, the brake claw on the inside of the curve scrapes the snow and supports steering.
