Adam and Jeremy Say:Give the guy his leg back!

Some of the Carolina's finest are in a disput on who should get an amputated leg. Funny, we had to go all the way to England to find this information, but here is the article from the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7024124.stm
We have tried fiding some photos of the men involved, but have been unable. Send us a link if you find some.

Adam and Jeremy Say: Sure the Snow Thing Is Nuts, but It Is Better Than the Alternative.

As Adam and Jeremy reported earlier today... the world record for mountain biking has been broken... check it out we have video to prove it.


Now many of you may ask "Why on earth would you do that on snow?" and at first we had no clue, but then we say this video...

...and suddenly it made much more sense.

Adam and Jeremy Say: Come visit Asheville


Yet again, the NY Times is talking about it:

Adam and Jeremy Say: Crazy Austrian Hurtles Down Hill at More Than 130 Miles Per Hour on Bicycle

So after two very entertaining but obviously irrelevant posts about ranting we think it is time we post about something more important... like the world speed record for a mountain bike...

33 year old Austrian Markus Stoeckl has smashed the World Speed Record for series mountain bikes. Stoeckl, nicknamed "Hercules" because of his 6'4", 220 lbs. frame, broke the 8 year old record by 14 mph on a 2000 meter, 45 degree run in the Chilean Alps. Because of the extreme cold, Hercules had to hold his breath for the 40 second duration so his helmet didn't fog up.
