Downhill isn’t as easy as it looks

Hang on, I’ve already laughed at you on the PB forum when you posted this last year!

Falling off motorbikes is getting a bit too risky so Im thinking of giving this another go. Im just not very good at it. 😀

Ooo I know that one! Took me a million runs to hit it with no brakes though, super frustrating.

Yes, I was happy.

Damn yooou! (shakes fist) wish i could do that

Is that it!

Would you really go to that much trouble with setting the camera up if you could only clear the first two feet?
It seems more like he was trying to manual across it but caught too much air and couldn’t land it on the back wheel.

No. I really am that shit.

One must fall off to progress. Top work 😀

Nice! I have to say, it was all going swimmingly until you decided to turn 90deg left immediately the front wheel landed…. 😉

LOL, sorry didn’t realise it was actually you in the video.
Fair play to you though for sharing it, and keep at it!
Out of interest, where was it filmed?

Its at Stoughton Down Im not too sure if its Hampshire or Sussex. Any tips would be appreciated. Not so much on what I did wrong but what I should do to be like PJ266. Bearing in mind that this was my first few goes and I have much more ambition than talent.

I think I should just hit it as fast as possible and see what happens.

I make sure my wheels don’t leave the ground on those features… unlike this chap:

And as that vid shows thre’s no shame in falling off – everyone does it sometimes! Nice looking track.
