You nailed it man. All my friends and I were tearing it up back in the mid-80s but there's no words for how far the sport and industry has become. The riders, like you had mentioned, have pushed the best technologies to limits I never would have imagined. My CR250 Elsinore was a pretty hairy ride back in the day but I wouldn't even know where to start on these bikes.. 😂😂😂 Cheers man. Sp
Sure, I had this idea of flying off a motorcycle jump. A good friend of mine said hay I'm going first! He did, and broke his collar bone. I sorta lost my nerve! It was no longer new ground. I did something he wouldn't do though, I've stayed married to the same woman 47 years. This has been the greatest experience ever, scary sometimes excellent others. Wow!!!❤❤❤😂😂😂💯💯💯💥
Was already done in the 80's by a French stuntman. Seen it when I was a kid. Saint Nizier 1968 Grenoble Olympic games ski jump above Grenoble, French Alps
not really, when you think about it. Skiers reach speeds up around 60 mph (95kmh). the posture of a ski jumper is much more aerodynamic that guy on a motorcycle. And that motor that gives the extra speed, is only weighing him down once in the air.
@@TheMisteryFrancisconot true, mass directly affects time to fall lmao. Force of gravity= mass x gravity, therefore higher mass means more force from gravity, which pushes something toward the earth faster.
@@jackistripping... my guy. m×a = m×g. the higher force is directly balanced out by the higher mass to give the same acceleration. all of the "aerodynamic" discourse counts air resistance, but in a vaccuum, mass does not matter.
I used to ride harescrambles and there were times you’d have to hit 30 MPH, in the woods, going downhill. The thought of going 71 MPH to jump, after knowing what kicking the rear off of a jump felt like, is a no.
Absolutely Amazing! Sounds like it was a good solidly built motorcycle. Congratulations on being the first to set this record. I can't imagine what someone will come up with next.
Fair, I mean these guys are gonna risk their life for adrenaline anyway, might as well have redbull capitalize so they both make money. Homeboy will be rich... till he dies 😂
I think it had to do with the acoustics of the ramp, the bike holding steady at part throttle, and the helicopters rotor mixing into the bike sound. Or maybe they had like a timing map set to retard and keep the bike at the right speed?
Sounded like back compression to me. I figured he found the speed needed for the jump and just completely backed off the throttle as to go as easy as possible. But also I've never jumped a ski jump with a dirt bike, so I'm probably wrong.
@@erikiwaniw8283 its hard to get clean audio, basically all audio if it sounds clean like this is added. It's just for effect, so it doesn't matter. You wouldn't be hearing this bike anyway, you'd just be hearing *_some bike_*
Ok finally someone realized this madness. First one quad going out of the driveway😂 second dude going down the road on a Harley calmly shifting up third😂😂😂
Other drinks like Monster and Rockstar also sponsor extreme sports, racing teams and so on, but Redbull probably has the biggest budget. At least for marketing, because Monster is already bigger than Redbull as a company
lol there is a difference between skill and not caring about your life... just because the most exiting thing you do all day is leave a youtube comment doesn't mean everyone wants to live a such a boring and unexciting life...
@SaffatPlayZz I'm not fighting. Fighting someone who is that stupid is probably against the Geneva conventions. I'm just letting him know he has more fingers and toes than braincells.
Rip to the great Ryan Capes for paving the way for guys like Robbie to carry the torch! Ryan, you're still the greatest man to take flight on a bike. I miss you, my friend!!!
Guy-So, what plane did you fly to do your final flight test to get your pilots license? Stuntman- “I used my dirt bike. I performed a flawless take off and landing.”
