No, not "how fast have you been?" but "look how fast this guy has been".

Although, to quote my wife, "if it's not is Strava, it didn't happen".

    Guy Martin did it being towed by a truck which then acted as a wind break, so...meh.

    This bloke however, straight down the side of a volcano (I think? Haven't watched the video but I think that's where previous attempts have been made) in a bright red gimp suit, that's the way to do it!

    According to my Garmin I've done 999mph. To be honest it didn't feel that fast but who am I to argue with GPS.

    I've got a mate who did SH to Morocco in in .1 seconds, about the speed of light. Probably why we didn't notice he'd gone.

    There was a chap doing probably the same decent who hot 120mph but crashed. He came back a coiple of years later and did it again. Peolle have ridden bikes down ski piste and hit silly speeds. More balls than me or maybe no fear centre in the membrane.

    A couple friends rode Loose Fest this year. They must have been hitting huge speed to have cleared the 80 foot gap jumps. That must take bigger balls than going straight down a mountain.
