Dekra Test Oval, Klettwitz, Germany, 2nd August 2011. Francesco Russo set a new one-hour world record with human powered vehicle, named Eiviestretto. He covered 91.556 kilometers. The vehicle is basically a product of longlasting development of Slovenian team “Eivie” with Damjan Zabovnik as the leader. The rider lies inside on his back, head first. For navigation he uses a mirror. Swiss Francesco also helped to Damjan with the latest design and by building the vehicle. So, two designers-builders and pilots (riders) joined together and after only one year of cooperation, but after many years of their attempts seperately, the world record is the least what they deserve.
This is one of the biggest descents on the planet!!! more than 3500 meters of vertical drop, on a 56 km long singletrack. 5 hours of pure joy ride.!!!
When professional BMX rider Anthony Napolitan got bored with entering the same old dirt jump events, he came up with Red Bull Dream Line. It’s a combination of dirt jumping and trail riding and it cuts a path through the hillside of the Coffee Mill Ski Area in Wabasha, Minnesota
