Post by: banditII on November 27, 2005, 10:33:37 AM: That is amazing. I can't be certain, but something about the point where the rider is going over the handlebars then transitions back looks unatural. See what you think? It's like he is headed over the bars, then the image almost appears to rewind? Could just be the film and download. If that was real, it really was incredible.

I think his upper arm/shoulder hits the windscreen. It's clear which makes it look unnatural - like there's nothing there to throw him back.

I'm kinda surprised that he didn't break a leg when he did that double foot plant while the bike was moving. That dude is pure hardcore.
