Austria's Markus Stoeckl, 33, set a new world record at the weekend for series mountain bikes on a renovated high-speed La Parva run in the Chile's Alps when he hit a speed of 210.4 km/h (130.7 mph). He shattered an eight-year-old record by an incredible 23 km/h (14 mph).

Gravity didn't give him huge cajones.

i went that fast in a car...

fastest i went in a bike was 65 or so. 130 mph would be more a matter of engineering than riding skill i think. the centrifugal forces at that speed would hold the bike up even if it had 100 lbs pushing it over. but the slightest imbalance in the wheels and they would vibrate to hell causing a crash.

I wonder if lead was used as a shock damper....

I topped out a Bugatti at 253.

JKJKJKJKKJKJKJK but Bugatti Veyron 16.4s need a checklist in order to remove the 170 limiter or something.

i did 170 in my porsche and i almost did crap my pants. but it handled beautifully, like it was made to go that fast (which it was, i guess).

also i got a $1000 ticket for that, and they even set up a roadblock to catch me. interesting story

well i was pretty nervous when they stopped me but meh you only live once. it's only a speeding ticket, really, it's not like i murdered someone. anyway i think it was worth it becuase i would have always wondered how fast the car would go and now i know. it was barely into the red at 170, i doubt it could have hit 180. it was damn exciting too.
