I can honestly say that aubrey could do more than just keep up with that.



Oh, I've seen him skydive. He's one awesome speed demon, too.

Don't think he matched Amazon's newest record, though. ;)

Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

just talked to her on the phone. She is in Boston driving around look lost trying to find a hotel. She says she broke her own record and the it now stands at 227mph!! And that she did that in her Birman Pantz and a long sleeve T-shirt!!!!! Wonder what she will hit when she puts on her "fast suit" :D:D

Way to go girl!! :)

they time her from 9k to 5.5K You go into a track and then flatten out and slow the fuck down. I'm guessing its kinda hard to get onto your belly at close to 250mph would probly hurt a tad too

How speed is measured?

Speed measurements are done by two free fall computers, Pro-Tracks, placed on lateral webbing of the competitor's rig. Each competitor is issued 2 official red Pro-Tracks for every run.

Speed is measured as average speed over measurement zone using 2 Pro-Tracks and 2 Pro-Track readings are averaged. Pro-Tracks should be rotated between competitors for every run.

The measurement zone represents a vertical kilometer where speed measurements take place. It starts at 2700 meters (8858 ft.) and stops at 1700 meters (5577 ft.)
