Respect that was impressive.

When I opened the thread I was expecting it to be slappers listing there best biking moment, maybe we should start another thread for people to do such.

I bet that ski jump would have been quite a challenge.
Imagine sitting at the top on your bike, not knowing if the suspension / chassis / tyres could cope with the stresses. Let alone not knowing if the take off slant would allow you to land at the correct angle.

Nutter, but impressive.

I actually expected the ski landing to be smoother, skiers manage it without suspension, but I guess they don't have the weight of a bike and to a certain extent glide in.

My stomach lurched watching that landing, genuinely thought he was going to get tangled up in the lights.... Still, respect is due and given, top trumps riding if ever I saw it.
