Hey that's neat, a classic syncro video that - right "pooh" starting back up from the very bottom riding on the skid plates, full power and no lifting off ... ask Bob :shock:

Like the way Ian's jumping it through the gates...

That'll be because it was made in slow-mo; the speed he was going it needed slowing !!

Ahaaa! Didn't spot that, but what an excellent showcase that vid is Mark - 10/10.

Now, with all that spare time on your hands, any chance of a flyer for Ashbourne if we send you the guff :D

P.S. Cate, I've found the Grappa and its getting a bit near the bottom, looks like Bashbourne might be referring to what I will have to do to the plastic before arriving!
