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

Katemum · 10/05/2005 21:42

Luge seems to be about 90 mph

Katemum · 10/05/2005 21:42
