This is true...but he probably can't ride faster than an Elite BMXer (on a BMX track).


...Another thing that blew me away was that not only were the best [BMX] athletes putting out over 1800 W exiting the first turn, but they were pedaling at over 160 rpm and the best were over 180 rpm! --Hunter Allen

Great posts. Thanks. Interesting how 10% including robbie miranda don't use clipless still on the bmx bikes. More cool info:
