and terminal velocity is...Years ago some local clowns smoked too much dope and decided to try a similar downhill event. They went to a tobaggan run at Pakagon State Park in Indiana. One was chosen to ride the slide on a bike. All was well except he hadn’t counted on a cross bar at the bottom. He was kinda bent in half. Not to worry, he survived. *
*Healy was not involved or present at the event. Mother Healy never raised such a foolish child.
Hard to believe!
Hold muh beer!
I wonder where you find bike tires rated at 130mph.
I am impressed. I hit 50 mph on my Diamond Back a few years ago, and that was thrill enough for me. I was on a bit of a downgrade and had the wind at my back. And btw, I peddled up the same hill earlier going the opposite direction. Age then, mid 50’s.
Two words: Road rash. ow ow ow. I have a firm policy — I don’t start anything i can’t stop. Preferably without dying.
That’s why I’ll never be next to Steve Fossett chasing a world record. It’s also not lying beside Steve Fossett dead in the desert. No guts, no glory — no brains, no longevity.

This is the dude.
And I did not find a caption explaining why that big brown spot was on the FRONT of his suit, not the back.
HA! What a two-wheeled pansy! I did that on a Unicycle!
Highway 58 coming into Bakersfield Ca has a nice 3000 foot drop that would make a wonderful place to crank a bike up to something fierce.
Is there a bike forum of FReep?
I like to mountain bike here in the hills of Southern Oregon. I’ve got a Trek 6700 and my girlfriend has a Trek 4300.
