Riding down a 45-degree slope in the Chilean desert, Austrian Markus Stöckl reached a speed of 167.6km (about 104mph) and beat the world record he previously set in 2011 on a volcano in Nicaragua. He completed his record-breaking ride on December 13 but it took until this week for an independent party to verify the speed.
