Riding a powerful bike on ice is already dangerous enough. Between the speed, the slick surface and all of the metal studs in the rear tire, one wrong move and have no doubt whatsoever that it will hurt. But Robert Gull doesn’t seem to have a normal human being’s sense of self-preservation, because on February 28, 2015, he set the official Guiness World Record for Fastest Wheelie on Ice by clocking in at an average of 128 MPH on the back tire of his 2011 BMW S1000RR in Sweden. Even more impressive is his top speed of 140 mph on the run.
In order to handle the surface, the BMW was fitted with this cactus-like rear tire, which Gull says were made by his father. They look like something directly out of a Mad Max film, if you ask me, but they got the job done. Click play below to watch the record-breaking run!
