They were live streaming it last night, it was evil, the rain combined with a grid of ~10x5 tire swings ( body height ) meant it looked treacherous, Jarvis was looking strong though.
Mark Delautour got 14th in Expert from memory to.

Pretty steep!! Crazy shit.

I love the "sit down with the handlebars in your lap and scoot" method...

Chris Birch rode down one like that :gob:

Hence the "blood on the inside of the goggles" comment :doctor:

What a race, 1 for the Hardman types & any 1 who finishes deserves a gold medal.
Didn't see to many Jap brands up front, that's right they stopped making 2 strokes exp yamaha.

Padmei

22nd July 2011, 16:16

Its a hard race alright.
Gotta say the video coverage on the official website could have been a lot better - they seemed to have cameras in a lot of good places. i'll run thru the other vids Nordie posted up to catch the rest of the action.

You'll probably find the coverage is just a taster as they always bring out a DVD with a more through race package.

Remember the fat guy on the "Erzberg Training" vid with the button up shirt and open face helmet?
He got 10th overall at Romaniacs last year :D

Yeah I thought about that after I posted. Bloody inspiring stuff... to do something really silly & potentially cause permanent injuries:laugh:

The school teacher looking dude? Can't judge a book by their cover i guess.

Those Birchy vids were awesome. That long vid of the insane downhill slide shows how video can distort the gradient of some of those slopes.
