Makeshift Olympic Backyards

This Long Island Unlce Created a Backyard Luge Track for His Family

A Long Island Uncle just added a whole new dimension to Snow Days when he created a backyard luge track out of snow for his nieces and nephews.

With the recent Winter Olympics wrapping up, it is probable as to where Jay Venini got the idea. He even spray-painted the icy mound with Team USA colors. The kids raced down one at a time in their snow gear, a helmet, and of course, on their sleds.

Record-breaking, ice cold temperatures and snow falls have been the norm up north this season and this is definitely a way to liven up those winter woes.
