A guy from a biketrials forum I know is in spain at the mo enjoying the sun. Here is some onboard footage of him avoiding carnage. Enjoy, (if you can ignore the sound.)

He was SOOOO much faster than everyone else ... a joy to watch!! Thumbs Up

... as for the 'luck' yep, to have the hole in the barrier/tyre wall just at the right point - very jammy!! Very Happy

... but what amazes me is firstly just how far he goes 'offroading' after he goes through the fence and secondly that he doesn't actually STOP ... he just turns it whilst still in motion and heads back to the track as if it is an everyday occurrence!! Laughing

In fact at 2:51, doesn't he 'open it up' again for a bit?!?! Shocked

I would have imagined that gap in the tires was there at the end of this corner for this exact purpose! Lucky indeed... makes me want to go and do a track day.

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

I was a little shocked watching this, especially the speed in which he comes off the track. He is a good rider though, did really well in his first racing season this year all funded by himself, dedication to live the dream I think.

If any one is interested here is another video he made, there is something very relaxing about this video, especially for a high speed racing vid:

Hes also a bit good on a BMX too!

Gotta love GoPro's wide angles - Works almost everywhere. I've recorded facing my brake lever before and works really well.

Should be getting the new GoPro HD soon too Cool

As for the original video. He was well lucky. Bongo is a very fast rider, he does race his CBR600 and wins too, seen him around Cadwell and frickin quick. Went through Hall Bends faster than I could if I straightlined it Embarassed

That gap in the tyres was a gift... he was soooo lucky but excellant control keeping that bike up at that speed.
