The footage is a bit misleading mate. The corner starts, opens/straightens a bit, then tightens again. So you tend to tip in from the outside, drift inside (where you see us going past) and then end up on the outside of the corner again. So yeah, it's not desirable to be in the middle ever, but it's only for a small portion of the corner and the visibility is very good all the way around it. However, I have smacked my bum on your behalf, and it felt very good.
Perspective 2!

one of the mates took the side off a coach about 25 years ago and now walks like skippy as he was hugging the white line so i know what can happen.

No, it's good advise mate, I would've thought the same thing from seeing that video. This shows the corner from the 1st person, and also nicely highlights another risk! Also consider I'm hanging off a bit, and the cam is the furthest thing to the right. The road was dead quiet and this guy had just gone past .... but decided to stop after the bend and reverse back up the road, then sit there and have a good think.

Ha you got lucky boys! That third vid is stupid, are they reversing to go left up the turn they missed?
I was in the long grass filming the fly-bys so they probably thought I was injured or up to no good. Luckily Fallout is a riding god so no real drama.

Its not just you Bibs road positioning was my first thought, but if the corner is open and view is unrestricted then Carry on folks :)
