July 8, 201313 yr it is indeed. the jump at the end!! however, i think it could have been better used to show off trialling to the Top Gear viewers and get some more support/interest
July 8, 201313 yr i did think at the time that it felt like there was some camera trickery as the whole jump wasn't showed at once. However until it is proven i will believe it was real and pretty spectacular i agree it will never happen, and that top gear is a car show so wouldn't be promoting trials, or any other form of motorcycling for that matter, however they could have at least let Dougie show off a bit more, or even introduce him properly and name the sport he is famous for!
July 8, 201313 yr It's top gear, everything is scripted, would you, or I, jump through a glass window ?, would anyone ride a bike through a wall?. The glass would have been sugar glass and the wall would have been fake. And the the jump at the end, well, I wouldn't down Dougie's ability, but it's top gear, so...... Possibly setup. I don't think (I'll have to go and watch it again) they mentioned the fact Dougie was a multiple world trials champion, just that he was a MBE. Better than no tv exposure at all though.
July 8, 201313 yr I dont't even think i heard them mention the word 'trials'... love em and the show, but that has annoyed me. Might 'tweet Clarkson...
July 9, 201313 yr You guys sound like Trekkies. Picard was better! No Kirk was better! It's Top Gear. Just a bit of fun.
July 11, 201313 yr I missed this , sad thing was I was in the garage fettling and my missus saw it and thought it was great and she hates top gear et al .......she didn't come and get me thought I was busy GRRRRHHHH!!
