Uh, yeah. I still call BS. Max of 45mph on a trail is mach ********.
I've been at speeds in the 40-50 mph range on my road bike. Getting those speeds on a mtb, on a real trail, not some groomed path or pavement? Yeah, right, not unless you're a pro DH rider. And that fast for even them is mach stupid.
