An 33-years-oldAustrian man, Markus Stoeckl, who is nicknamed “Hercules” has set a new world speed record for downhill series mountain bikes by riding his mountain bike at incredible 130.7mph (210.4 km/h) at the La Parva ski resort, Chile. See a video of this amazing ride after a jump!

“At the end of the run, I had the feeling that I was somehow watching the run myself,” said Stoeckl. “The planning for the trip to Chile was so hurried that I ended up having to use my street shoes for the world record run.”
