CHIxILL Midnight Special: Downhill Tested to 47.5+mph

Post by Stephen Lavin » Tue Feb 27, 2007 5:36 am

Okay filling Oles shoes is not easy to do. He managed to race his Midnight Special at Dixie in all three events; GS, Hybrid, and TS with great success.

This weekend in Texas we posted a new speed record on Big View Hill for the deck at 47.5mph. No socks and yes..., in Topsiders. BTW, @33" this was the shortest deck in the race. Karl raced great on 36" and all the rest were regular downhill speedboards with drop-ins, etc. the whole kabang. JBH looks pretty sexy in his two-piece leathers :)

I had a great time - TY Texas Outlaws!!! That hill is gnarly....

Thank you Kevin Dunne for the camera work.
