excellent mate well done. Nothing to be ashamed of - Many riders wouldn't have got that far down before canning it:yes:

Good effort Mark, possibly the fastest I've ever seen a bike going in reverse.

Looks quite slippy, but at least you can get your foot to the back brake if you're on the pegs, and not paddling like a duck. :second:
Must admit I've done similar. No where near that spectacular though. That was simply awesome. :laugh:

yes - very slippery conditions and a poked tire make more power a hindrance not a help.
I should have got my my foot onto the back brake as soon as - or nailed the throttle.
it sure sped up quick
my brain was looping "oooh fuck" and blocked more useful thoughts from being processed

If you are still upright and moving, albeit not forward its all good.

Still, it was fun to watch and the suspense at the beginning helped!
Nothing worse than being out of control going backwards or going forwards...
What is worse?
I know that I used to take a dive if things got really bad, like, trees, cliffs or something that might hurt me more than pride....lol :stupid:
