    Stuck out like dogs balls.

    Especially as that was when the video decided to stop and do some buffering.

    I think I'm really good at this stuff but I still failed, so much so, I played it again to check. A very valid point made.
    Oh bugger

    not a valid point.
    he was the same size and shape as anyone of the people on the black team (It doesn't even look like a bear when you focus on it, not to mention his moonwalk is shite).

    I would say most people saw him but took no notice as there was no reason to.

    Likening it driving a car is kind of silly because car drivers barely look at what's going on around them anyways, they don't notice you because their attention is diverted, they don't see you because they don't look.

    Yip, he was lifting the heal on the foot that he was dragging backwards, which is wrong. He needed to lift the heal on his right foot then drag the left foot backwards while keeping his left heal down, then do the same again but swap the feet around if that makes sense.

    Why crashes happen

    The next time someone gets taken out by someone who fails to see them, think of this.

    Just watched it with Tim, my nine year old.

    We both missed it.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Tripe !!

    I showed this to lots of people yesterday, and the vast majority failed.

    I've attended lots and lots of crashes where people have said they didn't see the oncoming car, bike, cycle, truck etc, and always thought they were talking rubbish. Now I am more understanding.

    Amazing how some people can read whatever they want into what is basically a very simple message.
