    Great bit of video - you'd need very good suspension and tyres, obviously good balance and I think I'd need a bike with electric start 'cos if you stalled anywhere there and had to kick start.....
    Isn't it interesting though that if it wasn't for the drop over the edge many of us would quite happily ride our trail bikes along that track - add the potential fall and its a different story. Think I'm probably getting too old to have a crack at that but it really does show how much potential our two wheeled machines have aye.

    I'd give it a go. Shit, your at the dance might as well get out on the floor.

    Not sure I would make it but I think that is kind of the point to this kind of personal challenge.
