More silly downhill madness

In seconds, they’re off, like warp speed. Wonder what the slope of the road surface is like at the starting line.
70 MPH is insane.

That is not even a road. It might be a bike or walking path. Too steep and narrow for me!

Sparky, that is a road. A proper two lane highway and in excellent shape for South America where you might expect much worse conditions (potholes, patches) than in North America. If it was a bike path with no guardrails and such, these guys would truly be crazy.

So I assume the lean back is to lighten the front wheels to reduce drag?
But then I see them cranking back in the turns.
The "get off and push" right before the cobblestone was hilarious.

Maybe Hack could sell them some awesome friction-less bearings.

I donated some over the years to young'ns that were involved in downhill racing.
Soapbox derby, skate boards that kinda stuff, If they were young and had a good line of BS, l would help em out. I had pics they would send back covering a wall.
A lot of fun projects, but the most fun was the 2011 Datona. Built bearings for the Wood brothers. I got a tee shirt!
