Got it. So to do a 30s 500m I need to use a 53x12 (119").

Holy effing s**t. So freaking fast. I used a 56x14 (108") and could barely get that thing turning. He was pedaling his gear like it was a 42x21.

It looks like he's pulling up hard at the start, which is something that I thought wasn't done.
