Alpine tumble. Alone.

The steepness of hills can be deceiving on video but that said I'd say that bloke didn't ride trail bikes as boy

His battery was already flat. I'm guessing he did that trying to restart after he took the tumble. Look at his light. It's really yellow & the dashlights are quite faint. I don't know why he didn't turn off the ignition though.

The camera is a wide angle, & they always make a steep drop off look more dramatic. The Hawkes Bay ride a while ago is a good example of that

Don't understand why he didn't move some of those initial rocks though

Me neither, if I was out for a trail ride and just had a daypack on, I would of just gone ahead. But with that much gear, on a heavier bike I would of got off and moved some rocks, would of been quicker in the long run. The fall in itself does not seem too bad, but having that lot come down on top of you, well it could of been much worse for him.

I can't understand why he didn't walk the bike past the rough bits.

I wouldn't have my arse on the seat if the back wheel was hanging over a cliff. I'd step off and push like hell while I throttled the bike away from the ledge.

Gotta say though, that's one hell of a big bike to be doing single track stuff on. Poor bugger obviously got lost.

I know how he felt......

XR & side car over the side of Mt Pat...Had to
bring the dam thing back up in bits.... 3 bloody hours later...
Theres a 50m straight drop on the other side of those
little trees that stoped it...

Loved the ending so close to road again and big dropoff...
Reminds me of time recovering a mates ZX6 out of a ditch, other mate burnt out cutch on Camry try to tow it up!
Something to be said for smaller lighter bikes!

Shit.... 1000 posts on a internet fourm.... Has my life really got this sad...

[Box'a'bits]

Yup.

[NordieBoy]

That was a cool track.

Probably not v-twin type fun though.

I coast my way down the steep shit too.
Steeper shit, and I'm off and bulldogging it down.
