Loved the marshals on abseil lines.!

Don't think I'd fancy giving it a go myself. Has anyone actually managed it, or was it carefully selected by a motorcross parts dealer.

There are some spectacular fails in there, I’d be scared to death of getting tangled up in a rotating wheel tbh. Not so sure after watching that that the “Launch and bounce” approach is the best way up that hill! :D

I bet there are a few broken bones after a day of that. Doesn't seem to be a right way of attempting it.

They all seemed to fail at the same point as well.

One guy clearly hurt his back. Having a bike bounce off you, even if it is a stripped down hill climber, is going to hurt.

I liked the one guy who just kinda slow-parked his bike against the barrier & rolled his body over it.

Lots of spontaneous 180's happening.
