Dad Uses ‘Siberian Express’ To His Advantage By Creating Homemade Luge Track For Kids [Video]


This creative dad has taken winter sledding to a whole new level by creating a luge track for his kids in his own back yard. With packed snow and a thick layer of ice, the track sends everyone flying around the homemade embankments.

In the video you see the father, Youtube user Joseph Colangelo, pushing his child in a sled onto his homemade luge track. There is a launching ramp followed by the track, which appears to be created with packed snow and nature’s thick icing on the ground. Complete with a few embankments and tunneled appearance, it is safe to say these children may be Olympians in the making. However, it wouldn’t be any fun if the dad didn’t take a spin on the homemade luge track.

It seems that the weight of the father sends him careening faster down the track than the children before him. He almost slips over the top of his second turn, but makes it out of the ride unscathed. Colangelo isn’t the only one having some fun in the snow. In fact, a video recently went viral that featured a group of monks having a snowball fight. The Franciscan monks belong to a Catholic order founded by St. Francis of Assisi about 800 years ago and show that there is more to monks than chanting and robes. In fact, they really seem to be enjoying themselves in the rare Jerusalem snow.

Are you out enjoying the snow or do you prefer the warm confines of indoor activities during the cold spell? What do you think of the creative dad’s homemade luge track?
