Was out yesterday with 3 DR650's & a KTM690 & the TTR killed them on the rough hills, I rode straight up this hill & they dared me to do it again so I did, this was going down & back up again.
Looks like a lot of fun, but it is hard to get a sense of what kind of slope the trail had. Is the camera "flattening out" the hill? I tried to look at the angle that the trees are growing to get an idea of the slope, but that didn't seem to work too well, and I suspect that the camera lens might "fisheye" a bit on the edges. What kind of angle would you estimate for the steepest bits?

it's steeper than it looks & yes the camera lens does distort the view, the hill was steep enough that one of the DR650 got stuck & needed a push. Will be up in the Flinders ranges in a few days for the best trail riding in South Australia, Will post more video up after I get back
