I thought it would be easy to find videos or gifs of people jack-knifing off a bikes, but I'm struggling. All of the videos I find online have talented people playing at tournaments without obvious jack-knifes or atleast without some sort of other player interference causing it.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some good ones?

I made a calculator that finds all possible states in which a bike will jack-knife.

I'm doing a write-up on how it works but I can't find any good videos of the thing I'm trying to explain. Can any polo people help?

Yep, mr. do was the first person I looked for. :)

I was trying to find his "world class polo" video, the one that was just a big crash compilation. It's not on youtube anymore, or at least i can't find it.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
