    Are you drunk in the video ? :wink:

    I think you can only embed externally hosted images, using the Img tags.

    Ah never mind!! and no, not at all, the steep slope which will did eventually ride, is much much steeper than it looks, way too steep to even think about walking up. In the dry. So needless to say he was shitting his pants, so to speak, so he was pretending to fall off at the start of every run so he didnt have to do it, despite him denying this! ;)

    Good effort anyway !

    I was chickening out of anything that steep when I went out on Sunday. I hate that 'jack-knife' effect deep snow has on the bike, and if you're on anything steep, you need to touch the front brakes - then you're a gonna !

    I have to agree!, bendy legs and elbows, big balls not to use the front brake and your away, although i do love a good front wheel skid ;D, the video really doesnt show the steepness sadly, it's too steep to even think about walking up, maybe in crampons! ;)
