Reminds me of the R1 dirtbike

Ambition exceeded talent a bit on that one! Lucky no fences though.

The dirt version isn't really the most practical off-roader, wonder if it has been modded much or whether they just stuck some knobblies on it...

Could be an element of "false road" in that first post.... not sure if there's a name for it but where your dumb brain thinks the road points a different direction to reality

Yeah, cos it had nothing to do with speed, right?

He wasn't going anywhere near fast enough to not make that corner. He just didn't have the actual skills to be riding anywhere near as fast as he was. Fucken mean jump though. Shame his twit friends didn't have a camera down in the field for him to jump over.

The irony is of course, he's now heralded by all his friends as some sort of riding god because he was lucky enough not to crash his brains out and land the jump.

It was hardly even a fucking corner.

But of course, it wasn't the speed or the lack of skills so it must have been the 'false road'.

I've heard of those "false roads" before, lulling ya into a false sense of security all the time. Fuckers.....

haha that brings back memories. He had a better outcome though

. God, viewing anything on video screws up your speed perception. It looks like if he got of the brakes (and looked at the corner) he may have been able to take it at the speed he went straight ahead on. It doesn't look like that sharper corner. Of course, in real life he's probably doing a fair clip.
