NEGAUNEE -- Luging is an activity that is fun for all ages, but for Joshua Brown, it is something he never even considered until recently.

That is because he is paralyzed from the chest down.

Sunday, Joshua luged down the Lucy Hill Naturbahn Luge Track in Negaunee.

"I'll do it again. It's a lot of fun. I don't know that I'd ever get into it professionally or whatever, but I'll definitely do it again," said Brown.

As Josh rocketed down a 100-meter stretch of ice, luge coach Tammy Wills said Josh is only the second paraplegic in history to luge.
