oh right , i can do it, done it many a time wen had to break rather quickly. but managed to keep it on 2 wheels. u sould ask luke nad jarno. i dont think what u did was skill.

i think what u did they tend to call gravity.

but im sure ur crank case enjoyed the slight scuff u gave it, :roll:

bloody nutters, glad thats not in uk

the ktm rider really impressed me though, those wheels were slow must have very good balance.

it seemed to me that they were doing it on the brake and not propper backing it in on the engine braking?

no they were backing it in proper style........

listen to the engine noise.......juddering noise is the back wheel skipping.....if they were locking the back the revs would drop down to idle and you would hear the normal screeching noise.

ahhh i couldnt pick up the engine noises but heard the juddering and hopping.

looks cool but would be cooler on a track, one guy nearly had a head on !
