Tricycle downhill racing. These guys hit over 70 KPH (44 MPH) watch his speedo. Looks like fun except at my age I would break something. Until now, I never knew this existed.

Sign me up! I wouldn't like the walk back up that hill though
I wonder what the variables are (in the wheels/weight/aerodynamics) that allow those 2 guys to gain on and overtake at just after 8 mins?

Another video of the same folks drifting their trikes. Parts of the video show them being towed up the hill on long ropes pulled by a truck. This reminds of the old Klunker rides in California; riders often were hauled up the hills on trucks.

I'm almost certain it's the "aero" ... ie, good body position, less drag, higher terminal velocity ... |
