That is sick.
They'd be picking me up with a sponge.

Looks like a lot of fun, and beats mine perhaps, but not even close to comparable to a good roadie. His center of gravity is three feet lower than a cyclist, his effective wheel base is up to three feet wide or more, and he has multiple points of contact with the road surface.
But it does look like crazy shit.

True and True.
Another difference with a cyclist is that the cyclist has brakes on his bike.. He does not have brake.

It seems he has to align perpindicular to the slope to slow down or brake. But just a little perpindicular, or otherwise he'd probably roll. Not fun at that speed I bet.

140pt6 - I keep thinking that your sig line is part of your post, which frequently puts a slightly different spin on what you're saying. This last post is my favorite so far. Don't think that the hand lotion would help this guy, though.

Was that video for real? Looked like CGI to me.
