    It does give an exaggerated sense of speed doesn't it.

    I turned the camera off when I came back down to the bike and forgot to turn it back on for my successful ride up

    Then I went back to the other side of the water feature and then over to the Hill of Impossibility, the Trig of Desperation and over the side and down to the Wheelie Arena. Then back to the summit and then to Woodmans Folly overlooking Pepin Island where the Baja and friends were playing on the bank. Then got your txt and headed down to the Bay and met youse guys.

    What did you get up to?

    good vid Nordie.
    Man it looked so easy didn't it. Those hills were fricking steep - I wouldn't like to go any steeper.

    All that & I drop the fricking thing at the carpark.

    If I get another bike it would be a 125 2T I reckon.

    You don't get the uphills right and you'll cough-stall if you're not careful and the downhills

    We're certainly trying things we wouldn't have last year

    I did do most of those bits on the XR though about 5 years ago on a laid back.

    Steep downhills and drum brakes

    You're right about extending ourselves Nordie. I was feeling pretty chuffed with myself for getting up & down that stuff without binning it... then the fence got me
    Not quite up to safari speed tho

    The bit with your shadow looked good. You should rig up a long pole with the camera mounted at the end to capture the whole picture.
