Nine years after frenchman Eric Barone crashed his bike on a volcano in Nicaragua trying to set a speed record, a new contender took the challenge. He is 36 year-old austrain rider named Markus Stöckl, and he managed to finish the job.
The attempt took place on the Cerro Negro volcano and Markus rode a standard downhill bike. He wore an aerodynamic full face helmet and a spandex suit. The final speed was 102 mph (164.95 km/h), wich makes it an unofficial record. Watch the video and see for yourself.
