Lucky and well controlled, especially due to when he hits the oil with other vehicles around.

haha, its scary indeed! looked like a big drop off the metal barrier

Almost spins on oil, pulls over to check, whatever, right in the place anyone else would end up crashing, 10/10.

weird
why would he be filming it in the first place?
and that music seems to fit in perfectly with his spin..

Love the lyrics in the music: "Be ready. Your time has come."

Very skilled recovery tbh. Not sure I would have even come close to saving it (looks like he has experience, lock to lock steering into a skid isn't reeeealy intuitive).

nearly as good as that vid with the family ride round the ring going wrong at 90 odd mph lol

Lucky lucky chap...

EDIT - Lmao... just looked on the main page and kitty kitty bang bang was there :eek:

Tom|Nbk · 15 Apr 2008 at 19:06

Watching again it's eerie as hell with the lyrics of the music.

Fantastic save. I would have probably just bailed out.

But... you'd get run over by all the other traffic ? and probably end up smashing yourself to bits on the armco :confused:

What a save lol!
Thought at first the video didnt look real lol.

Erm, it was utter panic from what I could see, too much lock not enough thinking about the angle.

Not saying I'd have come out any better, probably worse, but I think that was pure luck in the video.

I'm still confused why he was filming it though?
