JackAwesome
I keep putting things like this in the Jackass Thread that are Awesome but are probably not great forms of transportation but this is too awesome for the jackass thread so I'm starting a new thread.

Lol, saw that yesterday. My sadistic side kept wanting him to hit a bump.
|
lol. aero, apparently it's a thing.
|
I wouldnt want to ride anywhere near a dude doing **** like that and going brakeless. But I am impressed how fast he got back in the pedals, I know how hard that can be.
|
He ends up doing some sort of ted shredding thing to slow down enough to get his feet back on.
http://i.imgur.com/xH5RBZ4.gif I really only thought the aero was the cool thing. I'm also not sure I approve of scooter drivers using two hands to take pictures. |
Yeah, I once unclipped on a gradual downhill to remove a rock from my shoe...and then proceeded to almost **** myself trying to clip back in after picking up speed with my 65 GI.

He's definitely a Jack, and Awesome for sure.

Ha. I feel like the rules about not posting your own stuff or other members stuff shouldn't apply in this thread. Good job.

That's the world speed record bike. She pedaled the thing 147 MPH. 488 gear inches. Think about that for a second... American woman rides bike 147 mph, a new world record | VeloNews.com -Tim- |

I'm not convinced of that. Whenever you start thinking about adding dimensional lumber to ANY vehicle, jackass is the first thing that comes to my mind!

I'm certain that I'm jaded, because it's an amazing feat, but the fact that it's motorpaced kinda bummed me.

Do you think someone could ride 147 MPH without being motorpaced?
But I like these guys... Aerovelo Eta: Recumbent bike shaped like a bullet sets human-powered speed world record |
José Meiffret pedaled a bike 80+ MPH at the velodrome and crashed. The newspapers said he had died. He later pedaled a bike 127MPH. After that he became a Trappist monk.
"In case of fatal accident, I beg of the spectators not to feel sorry for me. I am a poor man, an orphan since the age of eleven, and I have suffered much. Death holds no terror for me. This record attempt is my way of expressing myself. If the doctors can do no more for me, please bury me by the side of the road where I have fallen." Date with Deathhttp://cycling.ahands.org/images/jose_meiffret_1962.jpg Motorpaced or not, he was pretty awesome IMO. |
