Default Pikes Peak record smashed
Its taken him a while, but Tajima has finally done it:

9 minutes 51 seconds - not bad for a 60 year old!



Given his new sponsor for this year was Go Pro, I hope we should see some decent footage from the record run!

Can't wait to see this.

Like you say, the fact he is sponsored by Go Pro, can only be good for some pukka footage of the run.

Another video of another record being broken at the 2011 Pikes Peak...
