I've seen you fearlessly top 40 downhill on your bike, and asphalt leaves a nastier rash than ice and snow! I have Super G races the next 2 weekends and expect to top 50 mph and clear two (very minor) jumps each run - not nearly as sketchy as the pros flying up to 80 mph and jumping up to 80m on a downhill, but probably the closest I'll ever get. Around 45 or so, you can no longer hear skis on snow - just the wind rushing past the helmet earhole. Fun stuff! It can get a little scary though, especially if the course gets rutted.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04262564623697045840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-393027123308513037.post-88849992025738224402009-01-16T22:53:00.000-06:002009-01-16T22:53:00.000-06:00I have trouble when I get up to 10 mph or so on th...I have trouble when I get up to 10 mph or so on the downhills on my cross country skis. And that scares me. I can't imagine going upwards of 40 mph.Ragfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325362017984149251noreply@blogger.com
