Talking up the White Hart tonight and i mentioned after watching Shane Byrne and Gregorio Lavilla stunning the crowd with their acrobatics going full chat over the mountain, i thought i would post the picture i saw on another forum (apologies to the owner of the photograph as i know that its likely your livelihood, however this picture is quality, so if it offends what with me linking to it then by all means i will remove it :) ).
Anyway, I give you Jonathon Rea on the Redbull Honda doing what most people do on a crosser! :D

Watching Shane Byrne go through that section had me off the sofa nearly every time, the picture doesnt show how severe it actually is, some of the bikes were recorded as landing some 26ft later, but what the picture doesnt quite show is that the Mountain is an extremely steep but short section of the track that leads into a turn which changes camber at the top, the back wheel literally gets thrown sideways when they land :eek:
