That's almost as fast as that time I ate fast enough to give me hiccups.
Congrats, though. Feels nice, don't it?

I was getting about 20 feet yesterday, it was my second day of consistent gliding though.
Right now I spend too much energy on slowing down and correcting my upper body balancing. I'm hoping to cut down on that hard pressing on the tire.

once you get to a good speed its way easier to balance

Pete VB and Joe Dyson from NZ glide fast Joe Dyson takes his pedals off and uses a bigger wheel (i think he's used a 29er) when he goes fast. I was driving the car infront (whist pete marchant filmed out of the boot) and i clocked pete VB at just over 30km/h
SOunds like your getting up some prety decent speed, try getting someone to clock you with a car

it's better than the alternative, car in the back and when you screw up you get run over.
