Wasn't that a powerade commercial? I hate to break it to you guys but that was some film editing magic. They mixed some hurricane footage with a guy riding a big wave.. but not that one. Check out some other powerade commercials and you will understand.

His speed isn't accurate at all. This guy has changed out his sprocket (the spikey donut thing that turns the chain) to make his Hayabusa accellerate faster. His speedometer is getting it's reading from the sprocket, not the wheel, and thus when he went from the factory sprocket to a different one.. his speedometer became innaccurate. Cars read their speed off of the wheels. So, if a big truck with 36" tall tires went to some 18" his speedo may read 70 mph but he would actually be doing ~55.
