An Austrian man has set a new world record by riding his mountain bike at more than 130mph down the side of a mountain.
Markus Stoeckl, 33, used a slope at a Chilean ski resort for his successful record attempt.
During practice runs down the 45-degree slope his helmet visor kept steaming up.
As if travelling down the side of a mountain wasn't hard enough, he was forced to hold his breath for the 40-second duration of the run.
The maximum speed he reached was 130.7mph - over 14mph faster than the previous downhill mountain biking record.
