the burn test is so over the top and i love it

[@abnx9670]

It has been said the production value and quality of his videos far outweighs his sub count. That is a true statement, however what struck me as what's so appealing about his video's is his economy of words. He has great pauses, uses no extra words, and can get a point across in just one sentence, sometimes in one word! Not sure where this kid came out of, but he is great.

[@alfredoelias1464]

Hey Ryan, Just thought that you should introduce numbered papers, one in each pocket before the "seaworld" test in every jacket you test. This way we could all see the waterproofness of each pocket. Specially, but not only, outside pockets. Good job you are doing with your videos. Best from Spain!

[@GSLbanget]

Hey Ryan, Do a crash test on some cheap Chinese helmet. I have recently moved to Indonesia, in SEA countries 150-250 cc bikes are main source of transportation, and unfortunately people tend to ignore safety here, and majority of riders use 10-25 $ helmets. Even though I see a lot of people using new 250-600 cc bikes, that cost here 4000-8000$ and they definitely can afford 200$ helmet but they still wear trashy helmets. Its just the market are overflown by these helmets, and new riders don't know any better... It can be fun and informative video for people who wanna save money on gear. P.S. Love the channel!

[@jerimymccray]

GSLbanget shut up

[@jameshealy4594]

How about you follow your own advice Jerimy? Instead of being rude, consider that he might have a really interesting idea.

[@jerimymccray]

James Healy he doesn't, he is just being a jerk. And essential, yelling "squid" as asians because they don't want to spend like him.

[@KM-oi9ks]

Jerimy mccray - you my friend.....are the jerk. GSLBanget made a well thought out point, and you said... "shut up" take some time to refute his evidence if you disagree, but saying shut up to someone's observation because you "think" you know what he meant is childish.

[@victorsaheki]

same here in brazil, people use helmets that have no brand and that are two sizes bigger than their head, I just dont get it

[@joshcutler6061]

Shpine protection

[@BrydonMedeiros]

If he doesn't say it that way from now on I will be very dissapointed

[@gerardogalindo8943]

Brydon Medeiros I second that. he should just run with it

[@dirtsider]

Well done, that was definitely worth watching.

[@wwxxyyxxxwwyy861]

aaaand Fort Nine is back! Love this series.

[@moalisiddiqui]

Love the addition of the Leaderboard!

[@tadydrift]

Really love ur crash tests tho, waiting and hoping more gears to see ;)

[@SamPatil7117]

I love these tests man! Keep it up🔥

[@u9Nails]

Love this series! Hopefully Brian F9 is still enjoying his job. He looks a little poker faced.

[@MotorcycleGearHub]

We've reviewed the AGV Sport Willow leather jacket, which shares many features with the Photon jacket. We're are not surprised about the findings of the seam-burst result, since the jacket we've reviewed BURST at the coat-hanging strip the first time it was used! We've only seen this in two very-cheap Ebay jackets. AGV Sport has not yet responded after the owner of the jacket contacted them more than a month ago. We understand manufacturer defects occur and we're always keen to mention the benefits and advantages of a given motorcycle-gear product being reviewed, but AGV Sport's silence thus far and the fact that this is the second time we see seam failure on AGV Sport jackets is not looking good on their part. They claim that they use multiple stitching, yet their coat-hanging strip bursts at the seam after two seconds, as we've reported? Heck, I could leave the Dainese D1 jacket (also reviewed) hang on the sharpest thinnest nail for a whole eternity and that jacket would still look like the first day I hang it. That said, AGV Sport's Willow and Photon jacket are some of the best leather gear to be had for sub-300 bucks. But the seam issue directly affects the safety of a jacket and the life of any rider going down with it.

[@p7ayboy]

Well done and put together video Ryan. Keep doing what you do, excellent.

[@miklosbremer3120]

why can't I find the Firstgear TPG Rainier Jacket crash test

[@kinguin7]

GradeA UnderA I'm wondering the same thing.

[@Ali-yh8dl]

Haven't finished the video yet, but i'm guessing leather IS gonna be better. thanks for all the amazing videos

[@dippitydoinit]

Hey Ryan, I'm interested in knowing more about the G-force stickers you use. How they're developed, who makes them, are they actually telling us anything, etc. Maybe you could get a factory tour of some gear brands? That's not something anyone really does.

[@kbeightyseven1783]

i think it should have lost a mark on the build quality due to the stitching

[@johnmccrossan9376]

Anyone else having a hard time finding the review of the tgp rainier? I've looked it up but I can't get any go finding the test

[@INNOVVDashCam]

A good jacket! Impressed by the quality, pretty good.

[@jlegresley]

Hey Ryan, just caught one of your ads on another youtube site, well done. Should get you some traction.....

[@SunriseReaper3]

Dude just seen your Ad. Gotta say I love it

[@yougottrapped]

Hey Ryan, why not wear a light blue shirt for seaworld to better see where its gotten wet?

[@nllommertnl]

scchhpine protector haha great vid

[@fringeanomaly9284]

"......Cows from Pakistan ... It's UN of motorcycle gear" 😂😂🤣🤣 hilarious

[@cwhite34]

Hhmmmmmmmm, is there any relationship between Brian F9 and Hi Viz Brian, is this another example of the movie "Twins"

[@FortNine]

Not that we know of. DNA test still pending.. ~RF9

[@Hennessey-df5mk]

You should do a crash test on an AGV helmet like a 46 project

[@Iyswift]

You should try an alpinestars and dainese jacket!

[@jimmybaggs5342]

That seam strength is a catastrophic failure. No AGV race suits for me thanks.

[@wolfie8394]

you guys should give away the gear you tested lol.

[@FortNine]

The destroyed stuff? I'd be surprised if anyone wanted it haha. ~RyanF9

[@Anhjje]

Honestly Ryan I'd be honored to have a burnt helmet that you touched. You know, in a non-creepy, non-stalkery way.

[@skimboards4life]

Hey Ryan, Would you mind adding a test for the CE rated optional back armor if you test an Alpinestars jacket this year? I think it would be interesting to see the difference between the cheapo foam in the backs of many jackets relative to the the Alpinestars Nucleon protectors.

[@bikertyp]

wow I want it now...looks good on garage wall

[@wing_nut_1018]

Everyone says "OMG RYAN why do you always destroy the gear? Give it away!" But no one seems to remember the thing isnt new. The only reason the fire test exists is to burn the gear out so no one scabs it out of a bin and is unprotected with the gear.

[@MrMilosv]

Great comparison! Any chance the spine protection could be replaced to something safer and then raze the protection level even higher ?

[@wayneatkinson5334]

Fails seam strength test... passes build quality?

[@getsometom]

Any chance you can test the Bell Bullitt helmet? I'm curious how the small chin bar will hold up and also how it will compare to the Biltwell Gringo you tested before.

[@collection2673]

Do the Alpinetstars Gunner !

[@carlosmorales6903]

do more crash test bro!!!

[@FortNine]

It's coming.. ~RF9

[@victorsaheki]

You should test the armor more than once. I believe they don't lose strength/protection after impact unlike helmets but, just out of curiosity

[@Eulsam_FZ]

I don't think he does because who would use the same gear after going down hard? I know I wouldn't

[@victorsaheki]

I went down at slow speed and all my weight went to my left arm, I know the armor saved me from some pain, I just dont know if they're going to work 100% as well as before. The jacket is perfectly fine, the embroidered logo is the only thing damaged

[@gabeferlin1826]

Hey Ryan are you gonna do any on gloves ?

[@FortNine]

Yes! Quite an interesting one, I think. We're testing a pair of motorcycle gloves that have been used for 2 years, versus an identical pair that are brand new. Should be coming up in a few weeks. ~RyanF9

[@wetfloorsign]

You should offer the test jacket for sale.

[@Lepong20]

Its usually hot where I live so I'd take the breathability of a textile over the protection of leather And if I was on fire I would first just take off the burning jacket

[@chasehill1004]

Ayy do a shark skwal

[@Grandobzen]

Hey Ryan, hate to be "that guy" but what's the tune @ 5:25? Thanks in advance! Love from NB!

[@UnknownMoses]

Did you give this jack away in a contest when done with tests?

[@omkarshinde9939]

What's the music at Back protection ??

[@ewwmin3m]

can you guys test the icon hypersport prime ? its leather + textile ... also when are you guys getting shark helmets at the store :P ?

[@apoxg5597]

Got a request: could I test the IXS Ray jacket? After a lot of testing it happened to be ma top choice

[@sidb9540]

how do I geta new back protector in there?? like in terms of swapping the foam out. It says Forcefield 001 series goes in but it looks like I gotta cut out the original one as there's no zipper for a swap out

[@kmekrine1169]

Is this jacket on your website? I could not find it.

[@yehiahesham8755]

i need a leather jacket that has abrasion resistance and CE level 1 , chest protection and back protection , any ideas please? i want all to be already in the jacket dont wanna add extras for back and chest protection

[@exothermal.sprocket]

"This is Fortnine's 9th test, "build quality" where we ask the question, what still works....." What still works? hahaha xD

[@ulisesgonzalez6956]

pls do shark raw helmet crash test

[@STATIC666F]

what pants are u wearing for seaworld?

[@Eulsam_FZ]

Shpine

[@JohnLeytemJohnleytem182]

hey man. ever try a joe rocket jacket? want to know if the money i'm saving will equate to my death lol

[@Loeb5]

Hey Ryan, are these tests meant to be informative or entertaining? As a guy getting into biking, it's scary how much damage Bryan F9 takes.

[@jonafap9938]

You probably wont be shot with BB's and you probably wont be set on fire, these videos are simply putting the gear through the worst scenarios possible to show you its limits.

[@kolesarmax]

imo it's a little bit of both. For example, when he grinds helmets and jackets down simulating a slide of dozens of meters that's really only simulating the most high speed crash possible where you're probably going to hit something and stop before you actually slid such a distance anyway

[@oblivionslade2850]

Please test gear from alliexpress

[@tysvlogs5838]

If I had the money I would pay you to test a ton of gear... perhaps a Patreon account? :D

[@isaicsanchez796]

Hey Ryan you look like backpack kid tbh like older

[@FreddyKings87]

Pakistan is making really cool good quality stuff..

[@bigolrussian7133]

oh!! that;s the same jacket i have!

[@bigolrussian7133]

oh wait.... nm

[@sandeephansdak1749]

... Wondering?!...why riding a bike is more costlier than driving a car...!..?!...

[@sandeephansdak1749]

...why not a one-piece suit for a one-piece Motor-cycle?!.....

[@Aleph1010]

Hey RyanF9, I think you should raffle off a prize where the winner gets to hold the fire hose and soak you, you look like you really enjoy Seaworld? bahahahaha, keep up the good work

[@wasiftanveer7516]

I'm love from Pakistan

[@jazztom86]

hey, can you send one to me instead of f*cking it up? At least it will have some use.

[@burnzyable]

I came from an add

[@bigolrussian7133]

[@Ali-yh8dl]

[@Bcoldfire]
