Shaky - light and blurry in contrast and imagery 'Windy' Lindstrom, daredevil pilot, mounts the dangerous 200-foot course up the grueling grade, establishing a new mark of 7 3/5 seconds for the event. Facing the barrier at the incline's bottom, the best cyclists in the west hurtle over the road in an effort to beat the remarkable achievement of Lindstrom. Throwing caution to the wind and driving their machines with complete recklessness, the wheel aces take some deadly spills. But their best is not good enough and Lindstrom's sensational performance takes the laurel wreath.
