This is so cool . Srs I like this a lot because it’s gravity only , so it’s based on the skill of the driver and the guy at the rear distributing his weight .
I didn’t notice the speedometer at the right till later , and guessed they were doing 60 mph .

I’d definitely get into this , as it’s a pretty cool sport tbh .
Pretty cool when he over took those guys at 5:10
Back with my Fam

Yeah, it looks fun, but dangerous as hell they are going 90 mph or faster with an average speed of 80, just a soap box and they are limited in breaking, that road is one of the most dangerous, one mistake they are going to fly off and fall many feet down.

I've taken my bicycle down Mt lemmon in Tucson (5,500 feet of elevation change). You can get a good cruising speed of 45mph coming down from windy vista.

It can give you a mini heart attack if the bike starts to do a death wobble - just brace the bike and hopefully it stops (it always does)

Had my brakes start burning and you can smell it cooking the pads. The heat from the brakes can also cause a tire explosion.

Scary but fun.

How do you do that? do you lift your feet off the peddles cause I tried that when I was kid going down hill and it made my feet move fast and I hit the breaks and got off.
