Well famers fields in the UK are pretty small, although you tended to stop pretty quick while tearing up their crop
, you didnt want to go hurtling into the wall/hedge at the other end (as your crumple zone was your feet/legs
), so the trick was to sideslip in as low as possible over the hedge, then kick the slip off, to straighten up and land as gently as possible to avoid fcuking up your paintwork too much.
