and the dick of the day award goes to.........

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

**Eddieb** · 13th September 2009, 19:36

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

**bart** · 13th September 2009, 20:19

Haha, just watching that stupid Wipeout programme on the telly. You should audition.

Just kidding. Nice one.

classic mate,
even the missus had a laugh and she dont like bikes.
it took 1/2 an hour to down load but it was worth it

Doesn't the camera man know, shot before help!

Yep I would a bailed long before you did

So you got back up and had another go then?

**oldrider** · 13th September 2009, 22:25

EEEEEk, that brings back memories, I try to avoid those these days but I know they are always just around the corner, waiting waiting waiting!

Good on you for posting it.

Bling even!

it must have been a day for it

Later I got some really good air

Its a pity I wasn't on the bike at the time

superman would have been proud - until I face planted a gorse bush and broke the helmet peak....

body armour is the best investment I've ever made

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.

Must admit I've done similar. No where near that spectacular though. That was simply awesome.

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.
