Raffaele De Rosa walking and running at 100mph

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/motorbikes/8076267.stm Just seen this on the beeb… Rafael De la Rosa in 250cc practice coming off the bike, holding on to it at 100mph and then getting back on it… in one motion…

MENTAL! How did he keep the bike balanced with no weight whatsoever on the other side of the bike??Ignore Suzy Perry’s comments at the end of the vid… I wish they’d sack her, she is dire.

I have a feeling the centrifugal force that was keeping it upright in the first place had a part to play, especially at the alleged speeds.

What? “Something to show when you bring your girlfriend round.”
Hehe! (cue Beavis laugh)

Nice find though!!

She is annoying isn’t she?:smiley:

Nice save but not quite as graceful as Old Randy at Misano in 1985:w00t:
