darrenb Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelly1 Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 your right but it will never happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guys Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I loved it, but have my doubts about the last jump... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenb Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 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!

jj65 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 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.

darrenb Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
