  4. Won't play on an iPad!
     
  5. Just so you don't feel victimised, it doesn't play on Android either. Fine on W7 though. Nice one Matt but why Paddock Hill ? You looked very secure everywhere even Graham Hill which is my least favourite corner on any track. Andy
     
  6. I have no idea why that's happening. It wont play on mobile devices either. It may because its encoded to Mpeg4, but I'm not too sure
     
  7. As you can see I was riding pretty well, and all way good. It was a bit gusty on the day and as I was coming down the main straight I started to catch a few other riders. I set the bike on the outside of Paddock Hill bend with the intention of passing them round the outside up the hill into druids. A rider was in front of me, 6 or 7 bike lengths or so and they were on the apex in perfect position. Suddenly thhe shut the throttle and sat right up, right into my path. I missed the back of his bike by about two feet, but as I had to sit up myself, I was now going too fast into the gravel. The rest as they say is history. In the rest of the footage which is cut, you can see him riding really slowly up the hill, looking back at me in the gravel. Never came to see how I was. Cheers :mad:

  9. Unlucky Matt and unfortunately not the last time someone's lack of concentration or just plain stupidity will affect your line. Andy
     
  10. you looked comfortable, shame about the last bit…...just out of curiosity which group did this take place in?
     
  11. Inters/Fast - but as it was a magazine day, the fast group was filled with riders with little or no experience :mad:
     
  12. I feel your shame :biggrin:
