[Land-speed] non-lsr Mountain Biker 130mph Downhill in Snow

[Benn]

Hmm, terminal speed for a falling body is 120mph or so, right?  But is that in
a tight tuck dive or flared out (methinks the latter)?  How do you get a bike
wheel to get traction in snow?  Did it have wheels or skis?  So many
questions...

  Glen;

  Did they say he was in the middle of an avalanche?

  Fox news has a video tape of a mountain biker on a 45 degree down hill in
  the
  snow over a measured mile at 130 mph. Didn't say if it was a timed mile or
a
  time trap at the end. At least it was white stuff but not flat
