News bot Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Why would someone travel over 11,000 kilometres from his home in Austria to the Atacama region in Chile just to career down a mountain on a bike? For a world record, of course! 42-year-old Austrian downhill biking expert Max Stöckl achieved just that by cycling down the gravel on his standard mountain bike after years of preparing for the feat. His V-Max project came to fruition with a speed of 167,6 km/h being recorded around midday on 13 December 2016 on the 1200-metre long slope. His six-person team took some spectacular images back home along with their pride at creating a new world record.Click here to view the article
Cruz Addict Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 hmm, maybe if his front wheel was running true he could have gone faster?still an awesome achievement though. frikken maniac.
popcorn_skollie Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Yoh!That's next level.Proof that only the fastest pinners wear tight broekies.
BaGearA Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Was this not done by Erik ( something ) Baron ? And on many mountains but then he had that really bad crash? Well done to this chap tho
Rider3000 Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 I think my mother in law would go faster downhill than that.... if we can get her on a bike that is ...
Shebeen Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 don't quite see the point of this....but hey well done! Looks like lots of room for improvement (disk wheels, skinny handlebars, no drivetrain etc etc) Mongoose! 1
popcorn_skollie Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) umm why did he fall over at the end ? I've done that before after a hectic run.Just to breath and collect myself while i reflect on what a close call that was jumping off the pavement.

Super_mil Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 That Mondraker Summum seems to win everything these days.
