The speedo thing said 36.somethingsomething. I don't think I would have made it to 40, but I think I was at the bottom of the hill at the time.
I only used to bmx, so maybe I just have loose hips or something?
I don't train, I just ride without thinking about how fast i'm getting somewhere or what i'm doing other than riding.
People go faster and maybe I was being kind of dramatic, but I really wanted to emphasize what it felt like to properly scare/warn other riders into not trying it without knowing their limits lol.
I was only trying to go like 30 mph and coast/go kind of fast/blast a hill in a fun way but ended up going a lot faster without noticing.
Crashes can get scary dangerous when you're going fast.
Did it take you a long time to train to hit 35mph?
