Anyone else feel these guy Martin things are always a bit half arsed?
They said on the show that he got up to about 6g.
I didn't watch the whole thing, just the record attempt bit so maybe he did but a bit of training and some compression stuff under his leathers and he coulda gone higher than that no?
Also the bike seemed pretty unstable, pretty sure they use hardtails with very little front suspension either on the small walls, did nobody think there might be a reason for that?
Same with most of the stuff in the 'Speed' series, there always seemed to be some little bit of poor planning or missed preparation that hindered the activity.
Maybe that's the point, underdog, he's just a bike racer/truck mech doing all these things but just frustrates me.
