Bloody northerners! To tight to waste perfectly good rubber.  They will do anything to save a few quid!

Did anyone else notice, that just before he sets up for the corner, he literally picks the bike up off the ground and THEN throws it into the line....before he launches into the air on the hill.

Have another look....  on the replay...at 48 seconds, when the commentator says "gets it set up".....just as he's approaching the corner on the inside line, guy hard up his chuff.

He "bunny hops" the bike (air seen under his tyres), and mid hop, turns for the corner....

Bizarre, and bloody amazing to watch.

 Too much downforce on the FJ I think.
