Other Speedbike Video Clips

70-MPH "Fly By" - (see "The Double Gold ... 2001") - Gives good feel of the speed the top bikes exceed steadily for over the final three miles of desert highway (more than half of the entire sprint distance - one fast ride!  Now imagine 80-MPH, faster?)

70-MPH Crash - (see "... Mango crash at 70-MPH") - A brush with death - not the crash itself, but the parked car that was not supposed to be there.  "Petty" neglects/errors can quickly turn into the most serious.  More than a shame to see in any event.

Junior World Record - Macky Martin hits 60.75-MPH (exceeded this speed for nearly 1/2 the course).  Note "Video bike fast-style stop" and "telescopic 'landing gear' wheel"

Junior Women's World Record / US Women's Record - Tanya Markham.  Breaks longstanding 1985 US women's record, achievement overshadowed by fantastic near-65-MPH sprints by Andrea Blaseckie of Canada and Ellen Van Der Horst (near 60-MPH
