that's not skill, that's insane.

Loved the video. This is such a beautiful landscape.
Only I found the cyclist a bit distracting when admiring the view.

#5
He maxed out at 80kmh at certain stretches, it wasn't constant. Should kinda be unnecessary to explain tbh...

I admire his skills but I doubt anyway he ever reached that kind of speed even considering the steep stretches.
Aerodynamcs, stability and grip are key factors to go above 60/70 km/h: in that position, with that bike and wet road I think he did not have enough of any of them.
You can tell only looking at how the bike dodges in some moments..... and that can only get worst at higher speed.

Anyway respect to the man even for going back up.

I find this video fascinating. Not because of the stunt, but rather because I think it would have been both a better video and a better experience to do it normally, which would probably make the video appear less interesting defeating the point of the whole thing. What a fascinating paradox.

#7 Have you ever tried to reach 60+km/h on a mountain bike.
On a dry steep road, you have to be pedaling as hell to reach such speed.
I have to agree with #9, there is is no way he could reach 80km/h riding backward.

My dad could do anything with a bike. Why would anybody but a fool ride a bike backwards down a mountain at 37 miles an hour? This is is for the moment not the skill.
