    He reached 834mph max, in dry air at 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound is about 343.2 meters per second (1,126 ft/s). This is 1,236 kilometers per hour (768 mph), or about one kilometer in three seconds or approximately one mile in five seconds.

    And yes forget brass or steel i say balls of TITANIUM.

    Oh Tapatalk...

    Almost as bad as a quadruple post on my 3DS because there are no pop-ups saying you need to wait 20 seconds to post again XD

    Also, Redbull blocked the video on copyright grounds... not surprised...
