In an attempt to provide a more meaningful way measure your DS riding abilities against, I have selected a few pictures to reference yourself against.

INSTRUCTIONS

A) Note this is for DS bikes with engines greater than 600cc ONLY.  :patch:

B) Look at each Picture/videos below and estimate your own ability (0-10) to ride through each challenge first time without stopping to check/look at it first.

C) Use this guide (Take note of 4,5,6 the rest are easy):  

0 = Impossible/I can't/ I wouldn't
4 = I would give it a bash; I could make it.
5 = There is a small chance I won' t make it

6 = I am comfortable riding this terrain, AND I would not have to put my foot down
7 = I am always looking for terrain like this to ride
9 = Its so easy I could ride this on one wheel.
10 = I make Chris Blais/Marc Coma look like amateurs in this stuff.

D) SUM your total for each picture, and that will be your mark out of 100 or percentage. Please vote accordingly.
