Now that was either very brave or very stupid.( I am tending towards the "stupid")
I wouldn't even want to go down there on an off road bike!

Intrepid and stupidly british I'd say.

BTW Monsters are fine on forest tracks. Occasionally I've had to divert through the forest when it's been snowy and the roads weren't rideable. The forest tracks are pretty good graded surfaces (mostly flat and smoothish).
For the track in the vid I'd want a non tail chopped monster though, preferrably someone elses LOL

There are other words saying that you should use if one drops your bike.
"oh my giddy aunt" fiddlesticks , tarnations ,dam and sugar.
There is no need for all those f words :)

Nickj I too took my monster greenlining about 2 miles to get to beach not that bad. However I also took 749 down that road, **** was that a mistake.

On the contrary, I think there's a time and a place, and being alone and in the middle of nowhere having just dropped one's expensive plastic covered superbike in thick mud is about as appropriate as it gets!

I tried off-roading on the BMW off-road skills course last year... even with all the right kit I found it hard work and scary. I think I'll stick to tarmac, thanks.
