45 mph and was scared shitless and the most excited ive ever been. taken that i was on a flexy drop through deck ( nightskateboards) and with only flipped randall 180s and blue kryptos. cranked the hell out of the bushings and went for it. 45 then a little wobble made me coleman to shed speed. hehehe. but i was happy

wow is that on the stock setup? I don't even dare to take my s9 cosmic 2 higher than like 40 with randall 150s haha

highest speed is probably in the high 30s to low 40s for me.

except gps' aren't really that accurate......especially on really steep hills.

and do you really care if someone actually only went 50 instead of 55....... this thread cracks me up. it's like comparing dick sizes.

You want me to take a picture of my GPS while ripping a hill at 45mph? I wish I had my mind link function hooked up. That would make things easier. I will do my best, but I make no promises. How about a pic of the speedometer of a chase car? Maybe the passenger in the chase car could lean out and take a pic of my GPS...lol.

45 mph really isn't a big deal. I mean it's fast but not unbelieveable.I've been up to 42 confirmed without leathers and faster than that unconfirmed. Sure it's maybe not the best idea but it's certainly not something that I would call someone out on.
