    Always amazes me what you can do in the wet on a bike if you have the balls to push the bike !

    Suppose an endless budget and spare bike would make you try things you wouldn't dare normally ;)

    Great to watch, thanks for posting :)

    I went round that track in September dry in the morning wet in the afternoon.Didn 't go out in wet cos its my only bike.I think having a spare bike things would have been different.Pushing more with no fear of trashing your bike. Awesome track though.

    Watched slower riders on a wet trackday, in the fast group they went seriously fast on those wet tyres.And braking so very late then dropping into the corner was an eye opener for me.Even Jimbo Andy and Jason were going quick on those wets too.

    Great footage, at least he doesn't pick up the bill if he does slip in the wet
