Testing ABS on a Gravel Road

While driving down one of Scotland's better kept roads I decided to try the ABS in the name of science!

As it turns out, the ABS works. An unexpected bonus is that it makes a quite pleasing amount of mechanical noise, which is rather reassuring as you can tell it's actually doing something.

Nice, Might be worth an angle where you see the rear wheel, brake. Slow-mo might show the wheel lock & the ABS kick in? That would be pretty cool.

@AZZ3R1 That's a really good idea mate, the GoPro has a 60fps setting so maybe I'll try that this year :)
