Hummm... I've grown fond of breathin'!!! 130 on a bike!?!? Back to Gastrick's old premise... Nope... never woke up one mornin' thinkin'... it sure would be a great idea to go screamin' 130mph down a mountain on a bicycle!!!

I figure maybe this is what Gastrick is thinkin' of. And this guy decided to try it on lava rock!?! Might as well have made a suit lined with 20 grit. It gets good about 1 minute in - check the front wheel in the slow-mo.
