His front chain wheel seems quite small for that speed. :p http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2005617/Volcanic-dash-Daredevil-biker-cycles-mountain-100mph-break-world-record.html

That chain ring was just to get him up the mountain or just to start off. A 45 Degree decent wouldn't require a big chain ring. I'd say pretty much any body could break 100 mph on a decent that steep but staying on at that speed requires a whole new level of bike skills

Mom always said to wear clean underwear...

I think she also needs to say no to tighty white -e's.

Good idea wearing the welding mask. In case his frame snaps same as the that other dudes did.
