1min faster than a V8 Supercar 
Don't worry, it is.
Not surprised. Tried to search but it wasn't working for me.
Um.... awesome?
You look like ****
those buzz-bomb bikes are much cheaper than actually putting a multi-thousand dollar jet engine on a bike
Last time a saw a race the pros bunny hopped them - looked pretty damn cool.
srsly?
Should we start calling you MMike? You can't be that dumb.
I found this looking for a song for the "Rock Xmas" thread. These light shows always amuse me. You might have to turn the volume up ~15 seconds in...
No, it is fake.
Kite surfing is blowing up these days. Here's a vid of the world windpowered speed record being broken.
I feel like I am the only one left who does not get kite surfing or find it interesting. To me its like scooters at the skate park.
Smaller cheaper boats have usually had the records like the sailrocket and some previous efforts.That little board just kicked the crap out of multi-million dollar sail boats like this.
I gotta give some respect
The fastest sailboat is 126 mph and it has wheels. I bet it would be faster on ice:
Fastest manned sailplane - Nimbus 4 - 192mph
Fastest manned glider - the space shuttle but its not true glider/soaring flight - glide ratio is about the same as brick
Fastest RC Glider - 446mph
Fastest glider period - Mach 20+

Ok, but that is a picture of the previous record holder and it cost millions of dollars to construct.
I was talking about the record for wind powered water craft. Sorry for not being specific.
Actually the iceboat is the fastest watercraft then (there is also an unofficial claim of 158mph elsewhere). Ice is still a form of water:
So by your logic the water vapor in the atmosphere is also water so even the aircraft are watercraft.....
Does this mean my bike is a watercraft?
The water vapor isn't the primary matter supporting those craft. It is in the case of ice and water.
A kite boarder isn't a boat either. They wouldn't stay afloat without wind.
your bike isnt already a watercraft?
LULZY
Anybody else see someone do this at the jumps? I watched a dude, in granny gear, pedal like crazy (7 mph) into our medium step up, which is about 14 feet to the lip. He just rolled up and fell straight back. His friends are like "At least he didn't get hurt this time." Dude, GO HOME.
