    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!
