Mike Rowe Gets Behind the Wheel of an INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS Vehicle | Somebody's Gotta Do It

[@pinkham_productions]

"It's a sliding scale of insanity." "I'm in charge of disorganization." Less than 2 minutes in... and the quotes are OFF the freaking charts! Much love to Mike to attempting this.

[@thejurassicgameroom9344]

why did I yell, "IT DOES" at my computer when Mike said if insanity runs in your family? I mean, just because the VA told me I am a "danger to the public and myself" that I am a psychopath, and that I don't have enough tethering me to reality...... That doesn't mean I am insane, right? The docs never said that i was insane, just the other stuff. =)

[@DrummingKid101]

Mike Rowe is a smart guy lol playing the role of the ‘everyday man’ meanwhile he’s off living the wild life of a man that very few get to ever get to experience. He’s done it all !

[@wiuser1745]

As an old man myself, that misses my younger, careless days, THIS LOOKS POSITIVITY AWESOME!!!

[@johnabbottphotography]

There are very few men that I wish I was. But Mike Rowe is one of them.

[@phoenixrising4073]

Just wanna say to the guys who built the trophy; wow what an amazing piece you guys built! Really that was something special. Kudos to your hard work and gorgeous trophy.

[@lindabuck2777]

Best one I’ve ever seen 💥💥💥🙏🏻

[@nodigBKMiche]

I think that means he has to bring it back next year and compete, to keep it! Could get very fun 👍🏼👍🏼

[@jerm1386]

This was filmed 9 or 10 years ago if I recall correctly - I was in this race but haven't been with this group since 2015 and I'm not even sure they race anymore at all. Gravity racing is a ton of fun, and Mike was great to work with from what I remember - he wanted to learn and have fun and share our stories.

[@carlasouthwell7422]

Memory recall? 🤔 Head injuries?! 😅😅

[@spikespa5208]

Is there a weight handicap rule? Or is the few extra pounds your wife would like you to lose come in handy?

[@jerm1386]

@@spikespa5208 For the spec class (race 1), that extra weight would come in handy. But we ran with a maximum car+driver weight limit for the open class (race 2, which I raced in)

[@spikespa5208]

@@jerm1386 Thanks fer the info. Puts our Flexi-Racer racing as a kid to shame

[@benjaminrapp7418]

It would be soul crushing to find out that Mike wasn't great to work with. I've always gotten the impression that he was a "What you see is what you get" type guy.

[@wing4ever]

The further down the scale of insanity you slide, the faster you go and the more fun you have!!! Keep slidin’ Mike!!

[@hiho8084]

This looked like a whole lotta fun! Thanks for another great episode!

[@dbzcollector9963]

From dirty jobs that I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy to doing things I can only dream of Mike knows how to live! Thanks for over a decade of entertainment!

[@lyher2722]

AWESOME!! WE LAUGHED THE WHOLE VIDEO!! GREAT BUNCH OF PEOPLE!!! LOOKS LIKE FUN!!!! bE SAFE EVERYONE. THANK YOU MIKE!!!!

[@johneverett3947]

Gravity racing is a lot of fun. Been riding motorcycles for 55+ years. We used to take our bikes way up to the top of a mountain or ridge, shut them off and race each other all the way to the bottom. Hanging off the side tucked in and passing cars at the same time, crazy fun . 😂😂

[@joeh9158]

Friend and I did that on the east side of Independance Pass in Colorado on our trip out to Arkansas summer of '77, 12 miles all gravity. Still remember that ride

[@Songdaddy]

OMG! I'm laughing so hard, especially after you said you peed a little. This by far is my favorite episode.

[@gusaveldano7290]

Those little cars remind me of the little rascals movie 😂

[@benjaminrapp7418]

Or the push carts on Cool Runnings.

[@JW-fq1ec]

This looks like so much fun!

[@benkrom2737]

Don't worry Mike, once the competition in you takes over, your commonsense will lower dramatically 😁

[@thomasdemaio53]

Agreed. 2 guys doing anything next to eachother turns into a competition.

[@CherylPix62]

😂

[@ChuckReynolds]

lol.. accurate.

Nuff said

[@MARKBART02]

This needs to be a series I'd totally watch this

[@jackwalsh1468]

Hey Mikey! I liked this video very much. Where else can it all go "Down Hill" from the start. Except the excitement, mirth, mayhem, fun, laughter and yes, Mikey. Your added charisma to action sequences. Kudos to the "MISFITS", your team and you, too Mikey... Cheers, Mate.

[@Eupher6]

Haven't laughed that hard in weeks, months? Outstanding show and congratulations to those who survived.

[@user-kp1ei7mn3x]

I used to ride my skateboard going down tall parking garages. I laughed all the way through this video.

[@Apieceofbread0]

Yoooo I’ve been looking for this for years! That’s my Dad and our old race group! Entire day was an absolute blast and Mike was a delight to be around. So many memories from this day omg

[@alotarob3016]

I'd love to meet Mike one day.

New racing nickname for Mr. Mike … “Death Rowe”! 😂😂😂

Another great segment from Mike "Slow" Rowe. Glad you're still in one piece.

[@jrgilby]

Mike Rowe can make an entertaining story out of anything.

[@B19902133]

Been local to this all my life and never knew it was right in my backyard. Definitely going to check them out!

Amen! Boy if my back was still functional, I’d be all in on the cars. The trikes are a hard no for me.

[@n.r.6833]

I'm watching every episode. Mike, you haven't put out a dud yet! I don't think it's possible!

This is my favorite episode so far 😂 Mike on a big wheel who nu? Lol

[@herzogsbuick]

"Fran and Fred became *fast* friends" I see you Mike

[@pattdunn9845]

This was great to watch from my recliner!!!😂😂 (Terrified of going fast downhill after a huge bike accident...ended up hitting a concrete wall to break my fall from going off a giant hill.)

[@carlaatkins2619]

I am with you👍. Feet off the and SAFE.

[@barryross8382]

Love Mike Rowe, As a trainer on a coal mine one nightshift i showed an episode of dirty jobs as a pick out dangerous actions session. After we got fogged out.

[@carlaatkins2619]

Always fun to watch. Better safe at home in my lift chair. GO MIKE!!

[@lindabuck2777]

Hello MISFITS!!! My god the amount of ingenuity in my neighborhood-flat Houston so we had to build our own tracks. We had engineer dads come round and help us! I was one regular staple coz the guys had more fun to me than the girls! We built ERRYTHANG we had-including soapbox racers! There was not an old lawnmower, bicycle, baby buggy LEFT in our neighborhood with wheels!!! Our moms collectively banded together and MADE us RECYCLE all those(as opposed to backyard boneyards) so our forts, treehouses, and anything else we made had material, metal, handlebars everywhere 😂then one year made a Xmas tree with all the ‘stuff’ we’d collected! Everyone came to see it! Conversations were hilarious and we always had a winner for contributions too! Brownies cakes casseroles for the best designs! Mrs browns cake was coveted-red velvet!!! Memories of hearing ‘but you’re a GIRL!’ Yup-scootch over-lemme SHOW you how it’s done!’😂😂😂🙏🏻❤️

[@sansdecorum4600]

That was cool. I recall that big kid Big Wheel downhill racing was a staple at Travis Pastrana's house with more than a few calls for a "Waahhh-ambulance.

Mike rowe for president 2024!

[@motomason]

Mike Rowe is a national treasure! Stay awesome

[@Jim-Stick]

This is one of my favourite examples of why Mike Rowe is awesome. When the video started I thought "Oh, yeah I'd do that" and it turned into a wtf at the speeds they were going.

[@evilbrat5376]

Thought the way it went should have been - Last Place - Middle - First. Mike you did it bassackwords. Loved that "Trophy" at the end. Real Gear Head and no pun on the other show either.

[@eddiecampbell3514]

Lived in and around Catonsville and never seen any of this! Would have loved to have been apart of this when I lived there.. Man I sure miss going to that old candy shop right on old Frederick rd. Moved out to Salisbury Maryland once I had a daughter so I've been out here now for the last 12 or 13 years I guess. lol

[@mikebrooka9395]

About as crazy as my old racing mower days. 1987-2002, we have went through hay bales, tumbled, various fires to various extents, shredded tires, and about every kind of motor sports failure and wreck you can think of. No cage, no belt, and no brains. I have seen bandages to stretchers. It was all in fun and boy was it! You have to give it a try. I left the insanity for a family life, shortly after my family left me, so goes life. Mikel
