GoPro HD: Monster Tajima's Record Breaking Run Pikes Peak 2011 

What a save at 8:00-he nearly lost it,but it can happen when you're in maximum attack mode.That car is just mental.

8:03 What a moment. He went from outside to inside. Almost crash... so close.

my 4 year okd daughter didnt take her eyes away once watching this, future racer lol

gopro marketing>>> redbull marketing

I was there! I was the guy taking a photo on one knee at 5:03 last one on the left. Wearing my Oklahoma hoodie and jeans. Did everyone know that when he reached the top his car basically died? The engine barely made it there

I feel like the older I get the worse driver I am; or I have more of a sense of death? I cant decide!

My body has never been as tense as it was whilst watching that video. Amazing driving!

congratulations mr. tajima! finally you broke the 10 minute barrier! yes sir! love these gopro cams too!

Impressive precision driving!

To think,they got the engine for this car out of a Vitara 4wd.

this is about the 8th tiem I've watched this..my favorite motor racing event and no one is better here than the Monster

How could anyone dislike this video?! That was amazing! Crazy fast car and very talented driver.

I can do that, hold my beer

I shat my pants 5 times.

Awesome! A far cry from listening to the hemi Mopars coming up the mountain back in the mid-60's.

10 minutes broken!!!! Congratulations Tajima! You drove to perfection and took the glory and honor for Japan. You gave your countryman something to be proud of in the wake of the recent tragedy. Well done! Glenn Cox, Lucky 13, 1205 Pro

Too bad it's all paved now, no more dirt section.

How the hell are the bystanders not getting pelted with rocks??

Realmente um bom Piloto, fantástica pilotagem. Adorei de mais!!

Awesome video of the run. Congrats to Tajima for his 6th straight win at the Peak!

Man, that engine is dying at 9:30.

Great quality picture, well done GoPro. Great run

Great Video!! Makes the drive up the peak seem quick.

damn amazing to see you blow by that fast! Congrats! I can't wait til you use the rest of the footage you have and put it all together like last years!

I love watching this video

happy birthday MONSTER!

That was incredible driving! It was also amazing to go from the fairly dense forest and people wearing t-shirts at the start to the top where there was still a lot of snow in places and no trees and people wearing coats. Awesome!

looks so fun!

That gave me goose bumps! Way to go!

Very cool video, that was awesome!

WOW that is the craziest race I have ever seen. So many parts that you could just drive straight of the mountain. Wow. Great Video. - JER "Canadian Filmmaker"

He is a hero , awesome spectators & track : RESPECT !!

Very good! Esqueci que era um video sobre a GO pro e curti o espetáculo da paisagem, senti a adrenalina do piloto. Video muito bom até para quem gosta de motores. Parabéns, 10 minutos bem gasto.

Majdnem kiszédültem a székből ! Pici japán ember menni nagy hegy embertelen mód ! Szívből gratulálok Neki !!!

This video is AMAZING in 1080p, full screen on a 27" iMac!!! MOVIE EXPERIENCE!

Amazing !

Pure Driving Art!!

Best. Camera ad. Ever.

Look at that incredible view as hes ripping the switch backs!

gopro and suzuki rocks!

Awesome!

fantastic

nice driving !!!

Under 10 seconds in watching this video, I instantly hit the Like button.

how could you not like this?

Crazy driving towards the end there given the vast stretches with no guard rail. Among many, the correction (with only the tiniest hint of stepping off the throttle) at around 8:01 was particularly impressive.

amazing

increible!!!

amazing!

Legendary !!!!!

cant wait for Sunday i really want to see if there will be a new record , im going to head up tomorrow to get my camping spot to see all the racers. :D

I feel like I'm in a video game watching this! THIS IS INSANE!

Congratulations Tajima! Hope to see your car and yourself for real one day. Cheers from Ireland!

awesome!

Gongratulations !

tremendo!!!!!!!!!!!!

AWESOME

happy birthday monster

素晴らしい！優勝おめでとうございます！

terrible, top, génial, un grand moment de bonheur: a voir et a revoir

BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

INSANE !

awsome!!!

That was thee wildest ride I've ever been on

Saw the car in person take off. It was an absolute beast caged in body work. It leaped up whenever Tajima shifted. Serious skill to control that much raw power on such a tight road. I road the road on a Ducati Multistrada, things can get dicey pretty quick up there, fun though.

@patwill0007 you mean you made the go pro decals for the monster sx4 hillclimb special in dirt 3?

Nintendo lawyers on their way to cease and desist my unborn child after i decide to name him Mario

This dude Monster Tajima is 61 years old. Proves how you're never too old to break records!

been a huge fan since i seen this cat rock snow farm NZ. nice job monster. did i hear this is the last year with dirt at Pikes?

nice catch.

Awesome ! By the way, this was the last PPIHC edition with a road still partially composed with gravel. In 2012, the road was 100% asphalt, making the 2012 record break this one by over a minute

We had it so good back then

fearless

Awesome

BEAST!!!! nuff said....

Hell at 61 you just wouldn't care anymore if you rolled off the side! Brilliant. I watched the race one year and sat on the edge of the road as cars blew by. Was so fun.

very pro driving!

You know a car is fast as hell when you get a sense of acceleration watching it on youtube. I had to watch the first 20 seconds a couple times just to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

@Richkill I would say so. Me and my buddy were the closest ones at the Halfway Picnic area (look for the red cooler and blue cooler). I had enough faith in Tajima to be sitting as close as I was and greatful that I could experience such raw epicness.

if there was a list of the best video ever made, this video would be it. Wow! the sound quality was beautiful, the being a passenger, strapped to the roof, yeah! this video the driver and the high quality resolution, my vote is cast that this video, is by far the best video on this you tube.

almost perfect race lines

@bradajr i feel the same way, perhaps its the fish eye that makes it seem slower than it really is?

In a perfect world someone could have gone 10 or 15 seconds faster especially through the dirt section. He is an amazing driver and very consistent and i could never dream of doing that.

@zeitlupenmodus How long contrails last rather depends on the conditions and the part in the video where you could see the CONTRAILS was only about 5 minutes anyway!

would be nice if the video shows the spedometer, tachometer and altimeter

Oh lookie here, an SX4 drifting! ;) AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!! Well done Monster Tajima!!

Man, those are Monster size gonads! Absolutely incredible.

Hd hero's have come a long way.

where is this? it looks like such an awesome place

its like the drive to heaven

After watching this I have to give huge props to the codemasters team who was incharge of creating this track in the video game DiRT

perfect cornering

I am in this video!!!! around 4:40-45 on the right of the mountainside....it was AWESOME!!!!!

Hard to tell from this footage but it seems to be running the same sort of power as my mini van?

I love how this guy is 61 and is still being a baws

Amazing car

@GoProCamera Some in-board stuff too?

what was this guys top speed that was insain!

very cool. wish there was some telemetry to see while watching the ride.
