Great stuff again Davido! I love the ball-crusher, you must have grippy shoes as I would have thought that would happen more often! One question; why are all your petrol tanks bashed in on the top?

I've been quite lucky with regards to slipping, but the main thing is being careful where you put your feet. Pegs and tail sections get really slippy in the wet so we put skateboard tape on them to prevent slipping. Stompgrip is also good for this, and it doesn't rip your jeans.

As for the tanks, you see where I jump from behind the bike and land on the tank? Without that dent I'd slip straight off as it would be like trying to land on a bowling ball rather than a platform.
