Austrian freestyle biker Andreas Brewi bet Swiss Olympic snowboarding champion Gian Simmen he's faster than him down a professional freestyle circuit.
This course was not a halfpipe and Simmen's snowboard lacked pedals, and while he was able to gain on Brewi during the downhill sections between jumps, Simmen was at a clear disadvantage in the long flat spot toward the end, when Brewi used his pedals.
