Just watched MTB go over 100mph!

Sports Disasters on TLC. This guy was making runs down some mountain in S. America I think - looked to be volcanic sand/small rock type surface at a severe grade. He went 101mph I think on a “hormal” MTB then rode this custom bike down at 106-7mph. It looked like the head tube just seperated right when he crossed the finish of his run, went down hard but still lived.

It is quite amazing what people do . . .

Was he on a Karpiel and wearing a freaky helmet and rubberized skin suit?

Oh… that’s just crazy… and good helmet! It shot off the second he hit the ground. He survived?

if you play it frame by frame when he goes down you’ll see his helmet come off.
