Move down here Sibbo? :idea:
Tight mountain roads, /7heaven!

Here's my gyro cam with my trademark awful audio. Oh well, it matches the video quality.
Note at about 40 seconds in, I depress the hyperboxer button and reach 900 mph for a short blast. :P
I need a real video camera!

There was no disclaimer saying that no 'roos where injured during the filming of this highly entertaining video.

As I write this, there are about 15 kangaroos lying down on the grass within 100 yards of the house.
Word obviously hasn't got out.

I hit a wallaby (similar to a kangaroo but smaller) one night, doing about 50mph (me, not the wallaby).
Lucky bounce as its head hit the crash bar/cylinder. It didn't disturb the rs much but it scared the sh!t outa me. 1/2 a second either way would have produced vastly different outcomes.
