Mountain Bike Speed Record

[danilch]

as he reached top speed, he should have take a kicker or sth.

[Maxbtwshow]

Juggernaut.

[iambossnuffsaid]

how is he doing that on snow?

[Jleagle]

@iambossnuffsaid

Snow isnt as hard to ride on as you think...

[reparatorii]

I wonder if he does better using a new Santa Cruz V10 carbon .

[Jleagle]

@reparatorii

The V10 is hardly made for this sort of thing...

[ireaallylikethisname]

phoaaarr!!!!

[polskapolska1818]

IF HE FELL

[MsCeon]

now go to the top of the mountain again

[ralphthylo]

Must be one hell of a brake skid =P

[Mathaniac]

looked like a dos equis commercial at the end. lol

[forsaken931121x]

wtf is it on his head a condom?

[Mrkdubs6]

chuck norris once won the tour de france with a busted chain and no pedals

[ivar3145]

ironic that this is a frenchman, but still this video uses the imperial system.

[FiraxelD]

They make it seem like it was him who made the bike go to 128.49 mph...

It was gravity =.=

[PhilosophyComa]

@FiraxelD It takes a lot of skill to not bail at 70 when the speed wobbles set in you know!!!

[FiraxelD]

@PhilosophyComa Yeah...but from the title i thought he was the one accelerating to that speed >_<

[DestroyTheseWalls]

Gl at a pro cycling event,

[alaswoe2u]

Now do it, - no hands Monsiur Braone

[alaswoe2u]

Now do it, - no hands, Monsieur Braone.

[MagiMysteryTour]

This was dangerous and cool, because the music told me so.

[meandkg]

Pedaling in this case makes you go slower, pro tour de france cyclist don't pedal on certain down hill sections because you actually end up going slower then if you didnt pedal

[thinkpad411]

I thought this guy ate shit at the bottom?

[EchoXxMcLovin]

That looks like fun.. d:

[nikeshocksshocks]

WHAT THE FUCK? I thought he is peddling and that was the highest speed. But I was like. Without a bike you can probably good faster. LOL

[ninjagnuen]

Now use your super ultimate front brake and make a flying record :D

[Archergod]

Why are French man usually associated with crazy stunts?

[JathanProductions]

what if that was a fixie

[monkehbitch]

Ah another frenchman running away at high speed. They are used to that sort of thing...

[gabrieldbz13]

Chuck Norris can do this without hands

[mcniggahomie]

@gabrieldbz13 no, he can do it without a bike !

[DJSexLeopard]

THE STUPID FUCKING AD WAS IN THE WAY. HOW MANY MILES PER HOUR DID HE MAKE? THANKS.

[gabrieldbz13]

@DJSexLeopard

Can you read the description?

-.-'

[mindringbell]

you guys are all pissed at sona11111111 just because off this one comment.wow :( get a life nubs.besides,it was just a question she wasnt telling him to actualy do it

[GamerXStudios]

my toaster is faster.... :)

[Physcho102]

kind of a bad to to forget which brake is to the front



[xstarwarslargestfanx]

his helmet reminds me of the death star trooper

[CoffinSickness]

@xstarwarslargestfanx haha fuck yes!

[juniorDUHH]

i wanna do this b4 u die lol

[TheDelux3]

what about doing a wheelie while going down ?

[darkeyce02]

@PitPensrock ive hit 40.3mph, on a small hill. i peddaled my heart out lol

[xxxsmoke4lifexxx]

for all european people that would be about 210 km/h

[2354bill6]

@xxxsmoke4lifexxx What about Canada

[ice192x]

@2354bill6 it's for almost all the world, mph is for gays

[2354bill6]

@ice192x You sir are fucking retarded thinking a measurement of speed has a sexuality. and also most of the world is metric US is to poor to be able to change it to metric you fuck head

[bloodstreak87]

@2354bill6 Poor??? Not true,In the 70's our president at the time Gerald Ford was converting us, but I believe Reagan fucked it up. In the 70's weight signs in grocers/gas stations displayed both imperial and metric measurements.

[appa609]

Who says road bikes are faster ;)

[TimpBizkit]

How do you stop?

[tyler051095]

whats top speed not going down a hill though?

[Chicken3gg]

@tyler051095 82mph, on a "closed" bike, but done only with muscle power

[SenorSpode]

Ribbit.

[porkythepig007]

Bunch of crap, no one can go over a hundred MPH on a goddamn Mt Bike. Nope, you cannot fool me. Pullleeeaaase.

[sandshred25]

that guy was flyin,, hard to imagin someone living long enough to get good at that..pro..

[Shabam4895]

Lets sled on this hill

[skaterwouter1]

suicide.

[motosportjunkie]

1.) Thats not even a damn mountain bike. i know. im a mountain biker

2.) why they did it on snow baffles me

[jackvincent90]

@motosportjunkie almost no friction

[motosportjunkie]

@jackvincent90 have you ever rode a bike on the snow? Zero control, zero brakes. thats why it baffles me

[jackvincent90]

@motosportjunkie i agree, it is very very scary, i made my own snow tires with screws :) really fun if you just do the front wheel and let the back slide

[motosportjunkie]

@jackvincent90 nice did they work good? And what size tires were they

[paulos105able]

I known this man since 1994 when he was first attempt on speed biking and i think no one can do better than him...bravo!!!! ERIC!!!! NOT MANY PEOPLE LIKES RISK HIS OWN LIFE FOR ANOTHER RECORD LIKE YOU MAN :-D

[paulos105able]

no one can do better than him...bravo!!!! ERIC!!!! NOT MANY PEOPLE LIKES RISK HIS OWN LIFE FOR ANOTHER RECORD LIKE YOU MAN :-D

[Arsenal070899]

:D

[balado1988]

Chuck Norris does 200mph peddling uphill

[firmclock]

@balado1988 fuck norris

[sportyandgaming]

@balado1988 dude stop with the chuck norris Jokes !!!!

[LosTutosDeFelix]

@balado1988 On bare legs :)

[partybojj]

why on ice? or is it salt=p

[biluckshy]

Lesson learnt, to go up to 128.49mph, u need a steep very steep stretch of straight with some alien style weird helmet. Or, just get a Hayabusa.

[DeathM10]

The record is not right... You have to be on a flat area.. Ofc.. i can do that, i can even break his record.. Go to a big god damn hill then go down...

[spikes3001]

You forgott the ramp o.O

[lwiss06]

AWW MAN!! I wanted to see what will happen if he jam brake his front wheel!!!!

[Scanon66]

139 mph = 200 kmh hum? WTF on a bike, thats horrible.. xD

[GaryIsRed]

imagine if at his top speed his pants got caught up in the chain

[CartainoPietro]

that would be pretty intense...

[SouthmarkGaming]

@deadlySHRIMP57 Watch the whole video ( 1:09 ) :)

[TheOriginalPierat]

They should put a ramp at the end

[xukaro3]

@TheOriginalPierat and you will end in mars or venus

[onarix]

@TheOriginalPierat a wall would be better

[TheOriginalPierat]

@onarix Thats So Dark, at least my suggustion has a point

[EduHoH]

at 100 mph, I would not try to peddle... why?

1. There is no gear to increase your speed after a certain speed.

2. Any big movement at that speed would probably cause an accident

3. The gravity is doing all the work for you... chill.

[UberMonsterDude]

that's crazy

[FlashDusk]

very brave :)

[Whiskie11]

I Can Do That On My Trisicle :D

[Lucas7888]

did he die?

[kse6063]

yay 128.49 mph!!!! oh shit!! *front wheel falls off*

[dethcomsqk]

@kse6063

his wheel did actually fall off when he attempted to break his own record at 138 mph the front fork and handles seperated from the frame and catapulted him.

[SaintPorno]

freak ?! :D

[in2mobile]

That's real mountain biking right there.

[wowcolors]

psshhhhh i could walk faster then then.. while drunk.. and eating a taco

[kcih4518]

what's song?!

[chh5555]

sona... what kind of gearing could you have on a mtb that would allow you to pedal at 128?

[pinkynigga]

i will skid that whole thangg

[MikeT7805]

its not a record, for 1, he didnt pedal, and 2 it doesnt have shocks so its a street bike and its running on slicks for road bikes, NOT A MOUNTAIN BIKE :O

[tylerboy1333]

id suck to crash that.... well if it was a smooth crash it would be fun to slid down the hill =)

[F8P7Q]

i was waitin for the bike to crack...like in the other video with that other guy who almost died xD

[halfpipefreak]

DART VADER ... xD 

[Mike20Richards]

pedaling at that speed would be meaningless-- there aren;t enough gears on it for that, plus, at a speed that high, he could loose control

[annoyboy95]

Orange Stormtrooper!!!

WTF?!?!?

[supergsx]

Well it sure looks like snow and not rock...

[alextroch]

@deadlySHRIMP57  maybe the vid is old duh

[sharrington196]

luky he didn't die

[woggleboggle]

i am seeing this right? is that snow?

[jonnykid555]

scary

[Sawlbeu]

lol what if he slammed on the brakes that'd be funny

[supergsx]

Seems a bit dangerous

[AnarchistDictator]

I've gone a lot faster on my bike.

[solboard]

Is the bike subject to any inevitable effects at that speed (like speed wobble or turbulence issues)?

[calvinlotz]

Nice helmet.

[CiachQ]

yes it is :D

[h1a2n3n4a5h6]

how hard is it to roll down a hill?

[supergsx]

It's a bit hard, considering it is on SNOW.

[h1a2n3n4a5h6]

phaha yeah it would be hard if it was snow...but considering its actually hard rock lol, that would be a stupid idea, lets go try and ride a bike down a mountain of snow...duh.

[Spud19902u]

coooooll

[giantbluemarlin]

I prefer his Nicaracuan volcano effort! He was saved by that giant shock absorber in the middle of his face. Lol.

IMO there is no skill at all in this. Just sit down. The les arcs run is much harder on a board.

Besides there is absolutely no point to this. It achieves nothing, you learn nothing. Just a form of mental illness that some men with hormonal imbalance can't get away from. The fastest person will just be whoever has the best wind conditions! Pathetic.

[K1dKrusade]

dude stfu, have you ever even ridden a mountain bike?

[dexyonful]

ee ti si hadalj#

[mortalwinggk7]

imagine what a spinout that would be

[Yandrama]

flikker op met je reclame

[trakkaton]

They are getting close to these speeds with recumbent bikes - on flat earth!

[sona11111111]

wouldn't he go faster if he actually peddled it?

[imauser12345678]

LOL XD

der luftwiederstand ist größer

[sona11111111]

Seine Beine sind immer noch Widerstand gegen die gleiche Menge Luft, egal ob sie nasse oder nicht ... zumindest dachte ich.

[Live4MTB]

No, he wouldn't.

[Cobra0911]

lol but it would not be stable

[TheRealEmskiHelp]

@sona11111111 Are you joking?

[n2thee]

@sona11111111

I lolled, thumbs up!

[64GIO]

@sona11111111

LOOOOOOOOOOOL I lol'd hard at your comment xDDD BTW if he peddlet it he would crash immediately i think xD

[darknesstrend]

@sona11111111 at 100 mph, you probably would lose control if you pedaled. also, you screw up your aerodynamics

[ptle]

@sona11111111 You would have to have like a 150 tooth chainring up front and a 11t in the back to make a difference at 100mph. It'd be better to stay in a good aero-tuck.

[mmiller051492]

@sona11111111 legs can't go that fast if he would have tried the tendons in his legs would be ripped from the bone

[vindex101]

theres some speed where beyond it its more aerodynamic to hav ur feet level or something, than pedal, thats why on the tour de france they free wheel down some hills

[Darky103]

@sona11111111 :DD

[gtr3cords]

@sona11111111 i dont think you can peddle when you going that fast

[freddyen]

@sona11111111 lol!! as if you can peddle at over 100mph! :D

[onehotseat]

@sona11111111 Do you have any idea the kind of gearing and RPM rate he'd have to use in order to pedal to 128 mph? Are you nuts? Gravity is your friend.

[jiberasaurus]

@sona11111111 he would lose balance and fall if he tried to pedal

[peasantperson]

@jiberasaurus I think sona was making a joke. I think he should have started braking shortly after he started. If he fell he could seriously hurt himself. Didn't anyone notice the speed limit sign?

[bipod11]

@sona11111111 AHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA pedal at 130 mph ??!!!! errrrm

[zioboby]

@bipod11 you know, bicycles have gears too.

you can peddle at 130 mph, he just didn't for some reason

[thirteenfingers]

@zioboby "some reason" - I think the reason these guys don't pedal is that doing so means moving your weight and your legs.

Moving your weight at those speeds probably invites nasty crashes.

Moving your legs at those speeds means the aerodynamic fairings on his legs wouldn't be as effective - seriously reducing his speed.

These guys spend stupid amounts of time in wind tunnels training the perfect body position to avoid air resistance and hit top speeds.

Me? I think they are nuts.

[Hardboi01]

@zioboby cos at that speed pedaling in 6th gear for example would be like trying to pedal in first gear doing 30 km/h, you wouldnt get any drive. you would need a very high gear to be able to pedal at 128 mp/h ...

[maaaarzl]

@sona11111111 maybe he would accelerate faster, but i think in the end peddling would cost his balance.

[ajxcman]

@sona11111111 yea but his gears would have to be the size of his bike to get any traction at those speeds

[sdeezy8]

@sona11111111 not if ur goin that fast

[the603kid]

@sona11111111 It's impossible to keep up with peddling with that pace. lol

[silistylefly]

@sona11111111

ööhm nope cause when you are ridin 128 miles per hour you cant peddle that fast ^^

[Oxstayne]

@sona11111111 No, when your moving this fast, pedaling has no effect.

[resdes213]

@sona11111111 not at that speed it wouldent evan pedal

[BadNeighbour]

@sona11111111 .... no

At that speed the couldn't pedal fast enough, and that would increase speed wobbles.

[HappyHardcoreify]

@sona11111111 wanna try peddling a bike 130mph? good luck....

[delacruzkid]

@HappyHardcoreify It's a freewheel. The rider can control the cadence of his pedals...

[in5secs]

@sona11111111 Of course not. Have you ever tried to peddle while at High Speed? You can't, because your legs would be too slow to push the bike. And without moving, the air resistance is surely lower, which improves the chances of speeding up even more.

[FluggleBubble]

@sona11111111 no bike gear would be high enough to make any difference even if you did peddle it.

[peter3337]

@sona11111111 its way too fast to pedal he would have to have super man legs to do that

[jakazza]

@sona11111111

I think he's too busy holding on

[Chrisward71]

@sona11111111 na over 40 mph or something you cant pedal to increase your speed, you just have to become as aerodynamic as possible and let gravity do the work.

[lupulou1]

@sona11111111 he wont be able to peddle at that speed

[jebrugby2]

@sona11111111 good luck finding a gear that would allow you to pedal while going that fast.

[HeyImKli4d]

@sona11111111 Theres no gear on a bike that would allow him to keep pedaling at that speed.

[Gleam16]

@sona11111111 going that fast the wheels are spinning faster then you can peddling

[FAnx]

@sona11111111 It's difficult enough to don't fall down

[MrFunnylaugh]

@sona11111111

If he peddle he will fail cuz its too fast

[foolproof8]

@sona11111111 he is on snow and ice... i think not...

[RemixPicture]

@sona11111111 I think that it would make the bike loose control. Since he has to focus 100% on keeping it from falling.

[love0is0not0hate]

@sona11111111 Well, maybe, unless he reached terminal velocity.

[therushingman]

@sona11111111

he'd have to pedal as fast as the back wheel was spinning for it to matter

[ardvarkkkkk]

@sona11111111 No.

[JuniorPros118]

@sona11111111 depends if you can move your legs fast enough

[VenXVX]

@JuniorPros118 not really its more a matter of when your on a bike like that in a terain like that going that fast balance is key so if he peddled it he may have lost his balance and is at risk of majour injury

[kariimtop1]

wow that cool

[SmexxiWaffles]

Oh Totally!

That would Make My day dude.

[BulliedbyFather]

there totally needs to be a huge jump near the bottom of that hill now that would be something

[skandskate69]

id lol

[jrd476]

And I thought I did well getting up to 25mph on my hybrid :-(
