RICHARD BROWN WROTE: "The video shows run 5 on the salt flats, this was the first run we made averaging over 300MPH, with a peak of 335MPH. Initially you will see the the bike being towed for a short distance followed by a release signal and the tow truck swerving off line, the bike is then coasting at about 40MPH during which time I retract the skids and await the "In zone" signal that tells me I have reached the optimum position relative to the timming traps to ignite the rocket motor, take a look at the speed the mountains in the background are passing by!

  • Anything with two wheels is a bike. Be it pedal powered, petrol/gas powered, diesel powered or rocket powered like this bike which runs on Hydroxyterminatedpolybutadene and Hydrogen Peroxide. I was a team member and was there.

  • What's stopping someone from setting a unicycle land speed record ?

  • The sponsor labels on his leather suit will hold everything together.

  • @seapeddler canards? wtf one wrong move and youd be split down the center. the driver of that would have the biggest gonads or a death wish or both.

  • @nipponbaka with knee mounted canards

  • @seapeddler rocket powered unicycle!? how the f**k would you steer it!? with your knees?!

  • @Member01289 So, unicycles remain in the circus.

  • @seapeddler Laws of physics. That's what. If you start a rocket on one wheel, the force will continue forward sending the front end below the ground. As it turns out, humans can't survive that kind of impact.
