Meet Captain Gravity

Vital Statistics 


Real Name:  Gregory Alowishus Gravity
Height: 9ft or 2.4metres
Weight:  None of your business!
Age:  35 (in luge years:  Luge years=Real age*the age you want to be/your weight on the moon + the amount of time it takes you to do 4036 luge rides – 12).
Birthplace:  Rotorua, NZ
Likes:  Luging, going fast, luging, adventure, school, having fun, luging, exercising, meeting people, smiling.
Dislikes:  Anything slow (snails, turtles, etc), rainy days, drugs and alcohol, racing on the Skyline Luge, riding the luge without a helmet, my arch-nemesis Dr. Slowdown.
Favourite Food:  I try to eat healthy all of the time.  So I’d have to say fruits and vegetables. 
Favourite Drink:  Milk (‘it’s what gives me my shiny teeth and my rippling muscles!’)
Favourite Car:  My personal luge cart (although it’s in the shop!), Lamborghini, Ferrari, F1 cars.
Favourite Song:  I love the song Greased Lightnin’ and anything else that you can dance too!
Favourite MovieFast & the Furious, Top Gun, Cars, Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Favourite TV Show:   The Amazing Race, Top Gear, Speed Racer
Favourite Quote:  Once is never enough!
Arch-Nemesis:  Dr. Slowdown.  This mischievous villain is always trying to find ways to slow Capt. Gravity down and prevent from luging or having fun in any way. 

Well Captain Gravity lives at the Luge so more than likely you will spot him up there or perhaps dancing around at one of the Skyline Kids Birthday parties that we love to have. He's a busy man with a busy schedule but its never impossible to track the Captain down! If you have a group of you coming up for some action packed lugeing or even just to enjoy those awesome views, feel free to contact his Chief Luge girl so she can make sure he is around to come and say hello!
