I haven't seen Joe Rogan in a couple of years; seems like he's going downhill fast

If the record is 99.9% due to the equipment, give it to the engineer, not the ballast. ;-)
Eric Barone hit 141 on his own with some downhill, but no tow, no draft. That's more impressive to me, but still largely a function of his equipment.
I've never topped 40 without a draft or hill, and I used to ride 25-30 miles a day.

The fastest unassisted human powered bicycle speed is 89.5 mph. That record I can accept without an asterisk.

Edit: using that full faring recumbent bike and the dragster tow in/draft the dragster would always be the limiting factor, not the bike rider. The tow has to do with making it possible, wind resistance is the limiting factor on bicycles, but even without any getting up to that speed using human power is not possible. She needed fresh legs to keep up for under one minute under optimal conditions.
I think pro riders don't go for this record because they don't see it as a legitimate riding record, just a dangerous equipment test.

Both.

Just like on my honeymoon, sitting ocean side at sunset eating honeydew sorbet, my wife said "it just doesn't get better than this", so I said "that means it's all downhill from here."

Or did it all go downhill from there?

Reminds me of the documentary "Standing in the Shadows of Motown"...
The sessions musicians who never get the public glory...

Oddly, she might have been bit bitter about what came after her time in music...

Some sort of music geek sound site postings...

"I enjoy the music she made in the 60's but when she posted a comment on engineers I voiced my opinion that the mid 70's to early 80's were the pinnacle of recording because of the 24-track two inch tape and the idea of the 'concept album'. I mentioned "Aja", "Goucho", "Breakfast in America", "Back In Black", "Dark Side of the Moon", "Animals", "Rumors", etc. She said she didn't like that "music" -- too many drugs involved in the making.

Post went downhill from there.... but come on, how can any reasonable musician deny the greatness of at least some of the albums mentioned above?..."

If you like your downhill cheese chase a bit more relaxing. I enjoyed it with a lovely glass of wine.

This is it. Humanity has peaked.

It's all downhill from here.

Well, watching events (snowboarding and downhill)---it has surely been windy---would have scrambled a drone show good and proper...

Carrot Top has gone downhill fast.

They weren't making it out, they were going downhill in the same direction the water was backflowing from...

Seriously people, if you see flooding like this (and I hope you never do), if you have an 'uphill' to go to (ie. behind the white building following the red pipe), go that way. You can't get to your family in time, so ring them up on the mobile and get fucking safe. Even if you do survive by some miracle, some poor rescue worker has to come try to save you.

Your video, Downhill Cart-i-pede, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

No where near as exciting as the Chinese Downhill....where were the weapons?

In all seriousness, we needed some shots from someone farther back than fourth place to get any idea of the insanity of a 700 bike landrush start on ice.

I reckon the show went downhill after Baker left.

I have mixed feelings about dogs on trails.

On one hand, I love dogs and seeing one running alongside his owner clearly enjoying themselves is awesome.

On the other hand, I've had several really close calls with trail dogs not under their owners' control, which nearly resulted in serious injury to me, the dog or both of us. Obviously, I don't want to get injured, but I'd feel REALLY bad if I ended up hurting or even killing a dog by hitting it at speed.

My general feeling is that they're fine on family tracks or on flat easy stuff, but they really shouldn't be on downhill trails.

Dogs in the snow, on the other hand, are just pure win.

On a downhill trail like that, you should be able to outrun it on a bike.

It would be a pretty good incentive to ride fast!
