Saw this on another forum. Watch the whole thing, this dude takes a crazy spill when his frame brakes apart @107mph.

Crazy........

Good thing he remembered to tighten his helmet strap.

Ouch! I've gotten my bike up to 55 mph, but that was on a paved surface and kind of cool. But over 100mph on an unpaved surface, that's plain crazy.

I like how they have to push the guy down the hill to get him going.

Damn head-tubes always seem to fail at the worst possible time.
