That's nuts. Totally cool...but nuts nonetheless!

That's cool until some gaper meanders in front of you. I bet it's hard to stop at that speed...

On the other hand, it would give you the ability to set TWO records. One speed record, the other, deceleration record. :-D

I love how he has his hand on the brakes, like they will actually do anything at that speed.

Oh it would do something....but stopping isn't one of them! Now that would be a Yardsale!

Depending on which one he would hit, he could set a few more records such as:

World's fastest faceplant.
World's longest skid.

If some gaper meanders in front me when when I'm hauling ass..they're going to turn into ground beef...during one of Bodes downhill runs..A course worker slipped on some ice and he got lucky that Bode didn't run him over..At those speeds..you have to ride it out..

How about: Worlds longest blood trail... on ice...

If you hit anyone at that speed it's not going to be pretty for either party...

Holt shite! The bike fell apart..

But he deserves it. After all, he didn't do it involving snow in some way, shape, or form, and we ALL know all fun comes from snowage. :-D

You can't embed HTML into posts here, we do have a nifty Youtube tag for posting Youtube videos though:

[PLAIN][youtube]y9iPlZnoaa8[/youtube][/PLAIN]

You put the Youtube id between the tags (the last part of the URL, y9iPlZnoaa8 in your case). It's important not to put the whole URL in there, then it won't work.

I fixed your post for you...

OMG, I can't believe that guy was up afterward. He must have at least broken a few ribs.....

And that was by far and away the best face plant i've ever seen!
