Illegal Trike Racing Through Traffic

At certain moments in our automotive test drivers lives, we dared to think that what we were doing might be a but dangerous. Well, we were wrong. Dangerous is what the three daredevils in the adjacent video are doing, which is racing trikes downhill at 55 mph (89 km/h)!
We are talking about custom tricycles but the only safety equipment we see are helmets. Of course, brakes are extremely important in motorsport. Well, these guys rely on their shoes to slow down when racing through traffic on mountain roads. No, we're joking, the trikes have brakes, but we're not really sure that helps too much when they're used for what we can see in the video.

Now we have a bit of a dilemma - what is crazier: the events you see in the adjacent video or trike drifting? Don not try this, neither at home, nor on public roads. We know it's hard not to after seeing this, but don't!
