nearing lift off from the end  they looked further back from the camera than when they actually appeared to have hit the ground. you see no point of landing in the film. fake

I reckon fake! ::) ::)

Even if you could control the descent on the initial part of the building's slope, the very high drop from its end would smash your bike and you into the pavement! :'( :'(

also i think the level of descent was far too steep to land and stay on the bike.

was a good stunt though

No one would even try that without a lot of protective gear, which they didn't have......

I would say real, Jackie Chang went down there in one of He's film. He would have done it for real as He does all He's own stunts.

As Guffer says, no protective gear whatsoever. You wouldn't even attempt it in the nonchalant way that these two do - IN THE DARK!! Fake by a mile  ;)
