    If there was no point of reference I would say fake but the trees in the background are vertical so it may be real

    First thing I looked at was the trees...but he also locks the wheels up on the descent and slides...so I'd say real. Maybe there was some camera angle fiddling in the middle of the ascent, but going by the 2nd video, it's a 45-50 angle slope anyway. Not for the faint of heart.

    I would say real because of the trees. But its hard to beleve.

    The slip angle of rubber is about 45 degrees so the slope was approaching that. Such an angle may not seem much with a protractor in your hands but it is bl**dy steep in a vehicle.

    I think the camera has been used to make it look steeper than 45-50 degrees. Looking at it in some places it looks like near vertical.

    I'd say unless they found a bit of rock with trees growing at 45 degrees to the horizontal then it is the genuine product.

    You could just about get away with this at Coogee beach as all the trees at the northern headland have grown at about 25% to the hill as the southerly blows there so often that the trees don't grow straight up.

    Mind you no one would believe it as the sea behind it would look like a tidal wave standing still.

    cheers,
    Terry
