well you made it down without losing control of the bike…..but like someone said, no idea how steep that is.

I mean, you rode away, so mission failed successfully.
That’s how we used to have to ride, hanging right off the back, due to the steep & short geometry on older bikes and smaller wheels. Nowadays with slacker and longer bikes you really don’t need to do that.
You still can of course (and I certainly do it from time to time), but with bigger modern wheels you run the real risk of a tail buzz and/or a front washout because your weight is too far back and the front goes super light at the bottom.
