It *is* a lovely wide angle lens. You've made Jacobs look even steeper than it feels!

The wide angle does seem to add a bit of gradient, whereas most lenses flatten the trails.

He'd really have to be trying to go over the bars from there! Back wheel is locked, front is rolling so I'm guessing he just went sideways...

If there's no photo, it never happened. Rich - Not sure the shocks are 'set up' hard, just siezed and in need of a service.

Marcus is right. In spite of the bizarre body/bike position, it was ALL under control, of course it was. ๐Ÿ˜•
