And if it's a repost... enjoy it in silence.

Classical music anyone? Damn I loved watching the bikes move. And re-running to watch the bike behind etc.

I should have known using "best ever" in the title was not the best idea.

What I liked about the vid was watching the suspension, tyres and frame move. The first shot of bike 2 you see the front of his fairing where the number is going up and down with the bumps. So I guess he ran a stiffer front end of than the guys that preceded him. I have to go back and watch again though.

Okay, competition. Rate the vids. Lets see who wins.

The worst that will happen is it'll encourage more vid posts.

I thought that was awesome & the classical music fit it like a glove...

Amazing to see how much the tyres flex after landing a jump & how the rider is correcting for touchdown...

Classical music anyone?

That's not Classical! Yes it is orchestral music, but it sounds very modern, like a film score or something... it doesn't have the structure of classical music...

Great vid though! :2thumbsup

I had no idea that sticky slik tyres slipped so much.

On Sunday one of the instructors was telling me that about the best sights he's seen is that of Stroud, Clea, Shirrifs et al, coming into the hairpin at the end of the back-straight, balanced on the front wheel.....Like they're doing 150kph+ stoppies!!!!

To rich for my blood. :--))

In the slow motion vid it is amazing to see just how the bikes are working but the normal speed video is something else. Those riders must carry their cojones around in slings to ride like that!!! There just is no room for error and those walls look pretty solid!

damn that was a religious experience...I watched it 3 times in a row!
The normal speed version was eye popping after the serenity of the slow mo vid. Reminds me of the Akaroa GP, except 10 times faster :innocent:

I've been watching the slo-mo a few times. Watching the riders body position and throttle, brake, etc use.

Coming over a bump where they get airborne a number throttle right off. I figured out (I think) that it slows the rear wheel pulling the front of the bike down.

Then there is a guy that gets it all wrong and hammers the front and I wonder what he did to do that.

Then a guy that seems to get the perfect landing.

Oh... so much to learn that you just can't get off a picture or a fast moving vid.

Damned amazing the more I look at it.
