That beachcart kiting thing. (One went so fast that it actually amputated and eventually killed a woman last year-was in the news a lot if you remember)

Is it skiing from the top of a mountain (they jump out of a helicopter or something?)

Katemum · 10/05/2005 21:27

Cheated, googled the speed

wheresmyfroggy · 10/05/2005 21:28

Cheat (stomps foot)

I did think that somebody would do that when I posted the speed

The skiers basically go straight down a very steep slope as fast as they can. There are completely mad, my dearest dh being amongst them

DH wants to argue it with you wallace, he still thinks it would be one man bobsleigh thing called a luge?????

Katemum · 10/05/2005 21:42

Luge seems to be about 90 mph

Katemum · 10/05/2005 21:42
