Snow Mountain Speed Biking

"Mountain biker Markus Stöckl set a new world speed record in the series downhill mountain bike class this past week [September 14, 2007] when he blazed down a 6,500-foot, 45-degree snow track at the La Parva ski resort in the Central Andes of Chile and hit a maximum speed of 130.7 mph."

"The 33-year-old shattered the eight-year-old world record by 14 mph despite poor weather conditions, and the fact that his protective visor was so fogged, he was forced to hold his breath for the entire 40-second run."
