Did someone walking by think that the rider was having a bad enough day and should get a small pick-me up?

ummm

More importantly that’s booze and a motorized vehicle. Naughty naughty!

This video is not to be missed! All in slow motion one can see just how much strain the riders and bikes face as they hit the asphalt coming to a landing off some of the bumps. Watch the tires and shocks compress and the incredible balance. Some of those airs look pretty sketchy and almost look like they’d cause a wreck. These are things you don’t see in real time.
