Default Better Than an SRT6 on Twisties

And I thought our little cars are fun to drive on the twisties. Get a load of this video.

That was just plain Nuts and I mean the person doing that must have huge ones I bet he had wheels attached to them so that the drag from them would not slowem down.

That looks like some of the crazy stuff I would have done in my 20s. I once snow skied off a shear cliff with a parachute on my back.

LOL, not quite that dramatic. I did it from the top of the Zugspitze in Germany. I went up from Garmisch-Partenkirchen which is a big ski resort in Bavaria. At the peak there is a shear cliff that overlooks Austria. I set up my launch about 20 feet from the edge of the drop off. I laid my 9 cell chute out behind me and skied off. I landed in Ehrwald on the Austria side where I had friends awaiting me.

I loved snow skiing and sky diving, so I decided that it would be interesting to combine the 2, and it was.

That is crazy!!! I think that the laws of natural selection will eventually eliminate these guys from the gene pool.

Back in my bicycle racing days one of my favorite training rides took us up to Mt Baldy Ski Area and on the return trip we'd maintain speed in excess of 60mph for quite a while, including through the turns. It was very common for cars to pull over for us to go by since they couldn't, or wouldn't, maintain that speed through the turns. There are two short tunnels on the descent, and it was a bit spooky the first time through them since you can't see that well inside them, and the thought of hitting a stone at those speeds is unsettling, to say the least - our tires were about 20mm wide (less than 1") with about 120psi pumped into them. We'd hold as deep a tuck position as possible to minimize drag and maximize speed. Great fun.

But to do it laying down on skate wheels? Um....... oh hell, sure, why not!!???

Hope those Asshats have a non lethal accident that scares them off riding ever again, as happened to a friend of mine. Sad part is, most bike-tards who have bad crashes wind up just proudly showing off their mutilation and going "Yea dude, I totally came off at 130 and hit a tree. It was WILD man!!!".
Now let's see some good handling again, this time in a car:
