Flat Land Speed Bump

All the land around this area is flat, but this nice little bump appears out of nowhere and just begs to be wheelied across.

It's strange how as you're coming up to the hill really fast, your instinct is to roll the throttle off. It feels like you're going to jump it like Evel Knievel.

I didn't have a camera mount so I'm holding the camera with my left hand. That explains the camera shake and the lack of speed. If the front end should get light or actually leave the ground with only one hand on the bars, the head shake would have been horrendous.

I didn't think about putting the camera on the ground and filming one of the high speed passes with the front end wheelie-ing across the top.

When (if?!) I get a camera mount I'll film this one again at a higher rate of speed. It's a lot of fun approaching the hill at about 90+ mph. The front end comes up and the rpms raise just a bit as the rear wheel either spins or leaves the ground.

It's fun if you're in the area, but probably not worth riding for more than 30 minutes to get to it.
