insane skill....

I love that drive and the one up Mt. Evans is even better.

Don't know if they are still there but in the old days there were signs on PP that said something to the effect 2 hrs up, 20 sec down

In what part? Look at the 50 sec mark the belts go over.

YES !!! at 1:43 it looks like his right shoulder harness has slipped off the HANS. Definitely not ideal, but did it slow him down... Not likely.
