[daemonoid]

Here's a bit of a masterclass:

absolutely astounding how he manages to control it (most of the time).

Absolute nutter.

I'm not afraid to admit that I ride like a tart as soon as it's wet, he's just showing off, .

Nice vid,

[BIKEVIDDER]

Good find, I had the sound on as well.
I bet he was grinning like a Cheshire cat all the way.
Well done that man !!!!
He's got balls.

I hate it, as soon as it rains I never lean past 2 degrees

I have mates that are still cranked over pretty far when its wet but I just can't do it! Since having my off, it has really effected my confidence

Remember watching that live, i was astounded, i think it's possibly one of the best wet weather laps i've seen.

Just looking at how sideways he gets it under braking and corner entry is amazing. He seems to use the lack of grip as part of his toolkit rather than fearing it.

I was expecting to see a video of real life situations, not a bloke going around a track.

Edit: Just watched the rest of it and he is a bit of a nutter though.

Powersliding, more like riding the tits of it in the wet on the very edge of the bikes grip.

Should be retitled "How to ride in the wet on a track".
Try that on the run to Morrisons to pick up me 4 bottles of Old Peculier and I'd be all over the place what with the manhole covers, potholes, white lines, people driving through red lights, numpties crossing the road in front of me etc.

Them Track boys have it easy !!

Find it not that hard to ride in the rain, manhole covers, white lines are no problem. Find the trick is not to focus on the road, it's the same with corners.

Also keep the visor up to save wasting time getting the water off.

That's a great piece of footage that.

Shows that if Kiyo gets out of bed on the right side he can beat everyone.
