Not sure about the specific video, but it can be done[0]. It is extremely dangerous of course, which I guess is why most people don't try to do it. It may also even be against regulations.

- latchkey 4y agoThe guy is on a fixie. Likely got to an RPM point on the downhill where it was actually safer to pull his feet off the pedals. This isn't really as unsafe as it looks... or at least not any more dangerous than keeping their feet on the pedals at that speed. I spent a lot of time riding around velodromes... you only forget to stop peddling once on a fixie. It is like riding a bucking horse.
