Ha ha ha.... brilliant watch. Just hope some of them can aim and shoot a rifle better than they can ride a bike 😁😁. (Although I genuinely tip my hat to our armed forces)
Thanks for sharing

Great laugh, and they look like can am 250's to me too. Whatever they are, they can certainly take a pounding...

Are we talking about the bikes or the lads CrazyFrog ... They bounced really well and I'm surprised nobody got hurt,

 ;D Yes both really, and this is talking as someone who is quite capable of doing themselves a serious injury just wheeling the bike out of the garage....

I am sure a few of them were black and blue and sore for days after that!

Hellfire it looks like the British army doesn't need a war to kill it's squaddies, just a bike training course! I don't know which are harder the bikes or the blokes riding them. If I took some of those tumbles I'd be laid up for weeks. And if that's not enough some bloke makes you do press-ups in a bog!

Be afraid, be very afraid.
