I guess this video is a testament to the smoothness of Saudi Arabian highways... would love to see them try it on the 401.
Insane!
Uh... wow. They must have sprayed the sandals with urethane or something that would make them super-slick.

Something just doesn't add up there... even if the roads were THAT smooth, their feet would still be taking one hell of a pounding from all the ground rushing under them at that speed. The instant buildup of friction from repeated contact and the heating of the surface of the sandal... think of what happens when a plane lands on a runway, and those wheels are allowed to move!
I think that might be why they keep lifting their feet.

HOT!
It's just like skitching, where you lock the throttle on a crotch rocket and hang off the side or back of the bike. A buddy of mine does it all the time, I've never and will never try it. He says you get pretty warm but you try to keep as much pressure off your feet as you can.
