no, i don't know how far they can go distance-wise, but its less than that. and they are only like 20 ft above the ground at most, going downhill the whole way. its an entirely different scenario.
actually i believe the record for those olympic guys is like 700 feet or something crazy. And id say that guy on the bike was going much faster than 65
I'd have to say if hardcore ever needs a new definition, this would be it. 300 feet is just like insane, like if you fall, you basically die. That guy is crazy.
He definitly trusted the physics of that one. Sooo perfect... halfway down the landing, had i just seen the landing i wouldn't be able to tell it from a 50 footer....except that he was going so fast.
You know you're wrong by about 10 or so mph right? Ryan Capes went 230 or so ft. while going around 65 (don't remember exactly, haven't seen the movie in a while) when they clocked him. So you might be off with those numbers.
