The Most Useless Trend in Motorcycling 

Ryan's a master.

He had to do it before the salesman came back with the manager

I am pretty sure nobody watching the video is blind.

Including the ad! Crazy

This man and his content is a gift from GOD ALMIGHTY! Mark Richardson

*8

Hey fort You forgot to mention INVERTED shocks!!!

*And* he hit his mark on "Destroy all wings." Very impressive.

👎 advertisement 🙄

heres v.short vid, interspersed with an v.long advert. why bother with such short vids? 👎 even traffic cops have more integrity. This nothing more than a shill channel these days.

Have you been to an art festival before

Don't forget the Maple Leafs shade

Fort Nine is great. Just a cut above other motorcycle youtube channels

We just sacrifice a clone every couples months. ~RF9

​@@FortNine I can hear 46's tears dropping reading this comment 😅

For a moment I wondered if it was a budget-saving thing - they don't have to go out into the countryside with a bunch of drones for five days. But it strikes me that the amount of preparation and rehearsal is probably just as time-consuming. Especially given that it's single-purpose - with the outdoorsy videos they probably end up with masses of stock footage they can use in other videos.

Should be 46 now right? 😂

Like that Keisha video

​@@MightycaptainI was going to say, it has to be at least 45 now, right? That can't be helping him learn video editing.

@@Mightycaptainexactly, and so 46 is just a newborn.

I’m just not convinced he’s human

I'm still not sure what "GOAT" means. "Greatest Of All Time"?

It's another stupid phrase people are using

Or we could say on fleek

How many times was this "1 take" recorded?

absolutely true. i dont own a motorcycle and probably never will, but the way F9 videos are presented is just too good not to watch

@@niToitsyeSkxawng this dude and his team are half the reason im getting one

yep. no motorcycle, yes vancouver, fortnine very good.

This 👍👍👍

He probably made about 5.00 an hour pure profit?

Bar set. This is Top Notch throughout any genre. Fluid in every aspect. So refreshing and impressive. Salute

And the absolutely fucking crazy timing of getting to the mural at the EXACT moment of the "Destroy all winglets" comment 6:28 is just...I don't know...stupid impressive. Agree with other commenters that this level of YT creation, production, content, presentation, etc. really stands out in the bazillions of other original content videos. Mad respect!!

not really, i have seen plenty of videos by children who could manage the exposure level way better then most F9 videos. just look at this one, lol!!!

Its kinda funny because this video was a 1-shot, which is one of the most classic, moviesque, cliche, director+cinematographer flexes out there. But I totally agree with you. The "b-reel slomo shot on a slider" that most of these other motoJournos are doing doesn't even come close to the writing, thoughtfulness, wit, and overall quality of this channel.

And so many people do the presenter talking to a different camera on purpose thing. that is just never cool.

Absolutely well said!!!

Yes everyone did...

Born A Goon is #1 IMO.

Except you want to watch it 2x

My wife disagree... she told me 7mns should be an improvement 😅

*a Ryan FortNine video, the other ones suck

@@contractkiller6863 I disagree. Maybe not quite as good, but still VERY good.

yeah it's 6 and a half with the grubby sponsor skipped

Should have taken the bike lol

That was my first thought, too. "Ooooo she's not getting out of there."

Insert appropriately snarky comment about superior parallel parking skills in Europe. That said, our urban landscapes kinda necessitate navigating tight spaces. Have a nice one, cheers

I think they put it there like that. Look how the front wheel is turned.

6:14 for anyone curious.

Oooo increíble

You should get a bike. They are fun.

Welcome. Stick around

I have never ridden a day in my life. I stumbled upon a review video a few years back and was blown away by the production quality of the video. They are all AMAZING! OMG. I have never seen a plug be so seamless and use of environment be so natural. Each of these videos are meticulously "Crafted" as a work of art while providing top notch info. Still don't ride 7 years later but still love watching these videos. Subscribe if you haven't. Its worth it.

a glorified glove holder

This actually kinda sells me the winglets

The only issue is that I'm not gonna get a 1000, can't use them for shit on public roads

@@Daniel-dj7fh And if you even try for a bit... there goes your license.

@@Angel-wo8gv It's just no fun to be reckless

The cynic in me says it’s because a certain recent pad safety video was done in one take - and that was the only thing it really got any praise for. Then the square space ad in the next most recent video was really popular as you can see by the timeline replays. So they decided to slap those two elements together with a topic that most people don’t know or care about and punch out another video so there’s a bit more distance from the controversial April one. Seems to have worked :)

James Hoffman published an epic one take video 1 day ago titled “What does a great cup of coffee taste like?”. If you like coffee and clever videos, take a look.

Oooooooohhhh 😮

Yeah, it is extremely well done.

ÛR ÛR Æ Æ Æ

Prime!!!

Anybody know where this mural is? Can’t seem to google for it

@@rao_v It's on the side of Daytona Motorsports' KTM showroom in Vancouver! There's great street art in that neighbourhood in general, actually (the safer, east-er side of East Van). ~RF9

Hahahaha, my afternoon laugh! Thanks, bud!

You could hear them over the sound of their fart cans? That's impressive.

Honda Civic drivers: *Denying reality* Ryan F9: *Spitting straight facts* Honda Civic drivers: *Denying reality Harder*

Fracking perfection!

XDDDDD

My favourite dealership in town! ~RF9

@@FortNine and the coolest mural as well... i'm so glad nobody's tagged it and ruined it all these years.

​@@xtreme9898was goin to mention that. Seriously talented art students over there. And the town seems to respect it as art too

Could you tell me the location of it? Just curious.

It's very close to a machinist friend's old shop. He put a ZX10R in the back of a 1990 Mini.

You guys should press a gixxer

Also, they can attack at any time.

@@AshleyPomeroy They must be dealt with!🐳

This!

winglets outside of motogp... even superbike or ama or any other racing league are completely USELESS waste of weight

And the amount of retakes and or really well hidden stitches for a ≈8 min one take.

"Strakes". 😁

For street bikes. For racers, that advantage adds up to quicker lap times.

Particularly because it's not linear. The force generated is in the end of the equation the square of the speed, so at 100mph you're getting like 10lbs of downforce. 2.5lbs at 50mph.

deadass. even the most comically large winglets make absolutely no difference unless you're going ridiculously fast, which you can't do 99.9% of the time you're out. they're so bulky, such an eyesore, and the only way they would be worth it is if they made a big difference in performance, but they don't do fucking ANYTHING

@@Wintersdark i dont see your math adding up mate. If the speed is squared should it therefore be (half the downforce)^2? So only 5lbs at 100mph and 1.25 at 50mph. You calculated it as if its linear

I only ride street but do like the downforce. That’s why I taped a bunch of bricks to my front mudguard. 🤔👍

5:50 lol

Sounds like a very cool education, what's the next objective if you don't mind me asking?

Don't get discouraged if you do not land your ideal job immediately. You may have to take a gig that's outside your ideal goal to pay the bills. It's good to show future employers that you can buckle down and complete tasks in areas you aren't even interested in. One of my very good friends finished a mech eng program from a fantastic school only to be turned down for several "dream jobs". He had a few jobs that weren't ideal for his goals, but one of those jobs connected him with Larry of Multimatic. For the last 12 or 13 years, he's been working passionately on really exciting projects all over the world.

Thank you for your life story

Aerospace with focus on bikes? Bro's building flying two-wheelers

@@DJF7819 Got a design engineering job offer from Triumph I’m working out visa details for rn and I’m joining some MotoAmerica teams this season in the pits as a volunteer

Yesh, like big fake wings on budget rice cars, who cares its just fun and ridiculous, not everyone does things for practucality

they don't even look cool

When I was a kid I remember there was a car called the Citroen BX. The GTi models had the most ridiculous spoiler on the back - it just a rectangular bit of plastic. BXes are really rare now because the engines can be swapped into a Peugeot 205, which is much more desirable.

Cool? All winglets look like tacked on shit.

"hurr the dont even look cool and that is the only valid opinion" just let people like what they like

that hits hard personally... me too bro me too...

hey, doing nothing, relaxing is totally fine y'know!

cant be as worthless as me just existing

womp womp

Me rn

Or the truckload of dirty air right on cue at 6:24?? Camera guy must have a legion of off-duty angels on set... the big scary ones who just dig bikes and can do the serendipity thing

The airflow VFX layer is in front of his hands / the whole frame in both cases that you linked.

Yeah right...

What editing? 😀

@@valuemastery even a single take video (no idea how people are so sure this is the case) needs to be edited. Especially good production videos, which is what the channel here quasi stands for.

@@dans2971 An ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure but yeah, if you're going fast enough on a motorcycle for aerodynamics to be a major concern you're probably going too fast.

@@tedchristian2235I guess they sell because they look cool, and manufacturers state that “their winglets add downforce for stability at higher speeds”. What are higher speeds? 200 mph? Who the hell does that in the street? Ah, never mind…. There are those RU-vidrs risking their lives for some likes and “street cred”. Fools….

Would the destabilization not be in effect until the non-vertical surface was in front and above the c of g on a ground born conveyance ? Not aerospace engineering talk just simple curiosity.

@@bobturnbull18 Having a vertical surface or a surface with a vertical component ahead of the cg has the same effect as a vertical tail behind the cg except it tends to point you away from the wind instead of into the wind so you diverge in yaw or swap ends.

@@tedchristian2235 o.k. thanks. I didn't understand that perpendicular was in reference the the direction of motion

I rode an MZ once and it felt like the frame and engine were made out of lead, it was a commuter bike so obviously didn't feature any race tech, but it still blows my mind they managed to make it that heavy!

​@memitim171 they're very odd bikes, but a bloody hoot to ride. Quite rare now. I own one and mines one of just 5 roadworthy examples of the model of MZ in the entire UK. I don't think they were made to be popular, they were designed to do a job n for a budget and be easy to maintain. That they did well. Sounds like yours was a TS250/1 Supa5 that you rode ^.^

@@stormus65 Still love that enclosed chain, why does no one else do that?

Good book too; read Stealing Speed by Mat Ohley.

​@@rogerkay8603 something called style I think lol

Adding them to my '95 DR...

KLR definitely requires winglets... just have to figure out how to cut them out of bleach bottles.

KLR650?

I'm adding them to my victory vision

@@ZealothPL Are there any other KLRs that routinely get fitted with milk crates and bleach bottles as accessories? And, why did that comment get censored? Why?

my brother is the director/ editor. I'm so prouddd!
