151kmh !!
Is the British world record even a thing? This is BS.

201.9km is the Australian (and World) Record held by Darren Powell on the same course (Les Arcs).
Now that is fast! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCa3OHbiiaA

I know Darren could do 150 at Thredbo! (I’ve done 120 there).
I’ve raced against him in Thredbo’s Top2Bottom.
This is him on the podium with 2 of my mates (I came 15th after falling that year).

Even Aussie skiers with one leg go faster than that!
Michael Milton 213.7

The world record for a blind skier is 162.5

I would give 150 a good whack at Les Arcs. I think this vid is all hype! especially since one would think Contour would show him how to set up a headcam to show more than just the snow, (then there’s the whole energy drink swig that you cant tell what it is).
