i wasnt trying to dis the guy, it was super impressive and my personal inspiration for even learning to manual. I just felt like i was going friggin fast man, the hill is about 4kms long, and tweaking out another 30 or 40 kms an hour seemed impossible.
I did see that episode of ripleys where he drafted behind the van and set a speed record..friggin nuts.

My buddy who rides BMX, if you're from around here theres a bus loop(queensway) downtown Kelowna and this guy can manual all the way around it. if u make it a straight line its about a block and a bit long...

i'm not that good at wheelies. i can barely do 20 feet if that, but its on an XC bike which i think aren't desined to have that type of geometry.
