Holy st! Bloody close to that tanker!

Not sure how you think this is "lucky"? Were the multiple camera angles there because folks happened to be passing, or do you think the whole thing might - just might - have been practised multiple times?

ETA - Not sure your link takes you where you think - the video on screen was a mountain biker in a rigged jump.

My link brings up the wrong clip I was actually referring to this one https://uk.screen.yahoo.com/video/playlist/near-mi...

[58warren]

Eh? Could only see one camera angle, which was attached to the biker. Were you watching the same video?

Ah now I see what happened with the video mix up. I saw the biker nearly sideswiped by the car turning left as he was trying to overtake...

I can't have the audio on at work so not sure if there is an explanation, but he seemed to be handling that corner fine, before crossing the white line and narrowly missing the car.
Surpised he got up looking relatively uninjured after contact with the stone wall.

Looks like the Cat and Fiddle road in the peak district. This is why it now has average speed cameras unfortunately.

Poor car driver having to deal with that.

[Devil2575]

Either he or the bike ran out of talent and he put himself and other road users in danger. Stupidity.

[Monkeylegend]

Those M&M's were damn lucky.

[keebz91]

Target fixation!

[NISMOgtr]

Not sure if i saw the right vid, but seems like the biker was obviously ignoring the 'SLOW' signs painted on the road and nearly had a head on with a car. Stupidity at it's best. Not only endangering himself, but others too. A proper utter moron.

This thread is akin to a post of the re variety.

Is it true what they said about the specs?

[mnkiboy]

What do they say? No audio at work.

[Petrol Only]

Looks like he might have drop him self in it with the BIB too. Plonker

[davamer23]

Did a biker go past in the reporters clip at 0.57 with a Christmas bobble hat on over his helmet?

[Shivit]

Hence the double white lines in the middle of the road.

I can't recall anyone saying they've been caught there and, although they have cameras facing in both directions there's some dispute about whether they can work on bikes' rear-facing plates.
