|
|
We're at Battle Mountain Nevada for live updates at the World Human Powered Speed Challenge 2019. Pro photographer Bas de Meijer takes us up close with the Human Power Team Delft & Amsterdam design engineers and new record holder Rosa Bas riding the amazing Velox 9. We next have visit with the officials at the start and finish. Finally, Bas takes us to see the "Catch" area where we see the final moments of riding for the French team, hear about the Italian team's unfortunate crash and watch Peter Borenstadt finish in his DF velomobile. Last vehicle in is the amazing "Sprocket Rocket" 5 man quad from team Land Speed Record which looks just like a rocket and is the talk of the event. This video was recorded live on Sunday and Monday.

Our midweek look at the World Human Powered Speed Challenge at Battle Mountain, Nevada. The competitors get to show off their amazing vehicles to the local children at the Show and Shine event at the Civic Center. Here we get a closer look at many of the speed machines competing to be the fastest HPVs in the world. We talk to Denise Mueller holder of the world record for paced bicycle speed at 183 mph. Then a look at the Sprocket Rocket, theTitan back to back tandem, TaurusX, Velox9, Arion9, Adam Hari's Falcon and Altair6. We talk to Robert Barnett who has set up a drag race for the kids on the stage, Helge Hermann and his Milan SL from Raderwerks, Mike Mowett and Univ. of Toronto's Calvin Moes. We next head over to the Catch Area on Wednesday morning where we hear of another crash, watch Ellen van Vugt arrive in her Velox XS, see Calvin Moes and Evan come in with their Titan tandem and witness Ben Whybrew pulling off the road in the Milan SL velomobile. In our final segment from Thursday evening we are back at Catch to chat with race director Al Krause about the past and future of this event. Australian builder and racer Adam Hari joins us with tales of a harrowing start to his speed runs and then a brief discussion with the team from Liverpool who haven't had much luck so far getting their trike on the road. To finish off Bas de Meijer gives a panoramic look around the beautiful Battle Mountain track as we say a final goodbye to the World Human Powered Speed Challenge for 2019.

AD Carson posted his thoughts about a new custom titanium long wheel base recumbent bike he received for evaluation. After a brief discussion with frame builder Davis Carver I learned he may decide to make this more widely available as a production bike. We talk to Davis, AD and Timothy Cain the guy who first commissioned the "Ti-Glide". Next we chat with German bent filmmaker Thies Kardel about the process he uses to create his art and how you can use some of his tricks to improve your riding videos. Also on the show we have a couple of heroic velomobile riders who just completed the epic Paris-Brest-Paris event. Bill Russell and Ian Perry talk about their sleep deprived, days long journey through the streets of France and why they chose to do it in a velo.
