Roger Hickey is an extreme athlete with 18 skateboarding titles and 20 street luging titles. Recently, got out of retirement and went to Quebec to do the Speed World Championship. If you didn't know what street luging is, it is very similar to the winter sport winter luge where you lie down on a sled and basically sled down what looks like a mini half pipe. It is a pretty dangerous sport but street luging is even more dangerous because the asphalt is not slippery and does not have anywhere to slide off of. On Roger Hickey's first three runs he barely exceeded 80 mph. But on his last run, he went the speed of 100.279 mph. He broke the record of 97.81 mph. and believe it or not he is 58 years old!
