I've seen the motorbike riding on water- stunt done on a TV show by a British stunt man (forgot his name unfortunately). The guy was able to go a long distance without sinking. He had had a lot of practice. If a wheel started sinking, he would shift his weight to the other wheel. A similar technique would be used when riding through deep soft snow.

[@voornaam3191]

Guy Martin did this, too. He has bike racing experience and he is a BBC legend. How can you not remember his name? Are you only half alive? Poor you!

If they put this surfing Motorcycle-Physics in GTA VI, this would be awesome.

[@AudieHolland]

In a hotel situation, you'd probably come in contact with the wall and that will prevent the parachute from opening fully.

[@TheTyisawesome]

Especially from a window. Maybe from the roof top

[@wingerding]

Don't think you can get out through the windows.

[@jogreeen]

that wheel in the water was ridiculous, but they had a go i spose.

The only concern with the parachute myth is..... where would you find all of that duct tape in a hotel room?!?

[@Hebdomad7]

You don't travel with several rolls of duct tape at all times?!?

48:00.. there is actually specialized / modified motorcycle wheels that can make you ride on water ;)

[@borntoclimb7116]

Motorbike water test could be a evel knievel stunt. The crane on the ship yard is legendary, incredible how well the shower curtain parachute works

No need for spoilers here...

So that's how Jesus walked on water, At 80mph.

[@MrChazZen]

Not fast enough to outrun the Romans though.

[@mike12346]

Nah, it was his overinflated rugged tyres that did it

[@SiNFPVGUAM]

Jesus walked on dolphins... pshh "walking on warter"...

[@RDCST]

There's a type of wheel with horizontal lines that looks like spoons, that can be used in the back wheel so it doesn't lose speed.

[@vladlenkun]

paddle tire

[@bartle6168]

Everyone I ride with can do this on bikes ranging from 250cc to 650cc trail bikes and I have personally done it more than once on a 900cc road bike. Weight doesn't seem to matter, what matters is constant speed and you need 80Kph in obsolete numbers that's 50Mph.

[@benjiv5070]

1:47 Kari didn’t do skidding car. It was Jessi Combs that episode.

[@TheBenNZ]

4:47 😂

[@HebuTheLoneWolf]

i have seen vids of ppl going across water with bikes, quads and with snowmobiles. and i my self have experience seeing my dad driving across small lake with a snowmobile when i was 9 y/o. my grandma was so against it but my drunken dad still went ahead and did it xD

[@agnesabrahams9679]

I feel so sorry for Buster. He does the most(est), dangerous(test) work. I hope he gets the biggest(test) paycheck😂

[@darrell3391]

A modified skid plate along with a paddle style tire on the back and a powerful dirt bike can cross water. It’s similar to snowmobiles that ride on water. It is possible with mods to cross a lot of water, even slow turns. I’ve seen snowmobiles in a competition shooting rapids.

[@jaripekkajekunen2713]

Makes me chuggle to think that Adam and Jamie were brainstorming like "why don't we put a thing that holds a tire, then drag it on a lake in a speed boat at speeds of 80‐90 mph and during that, ADD SOME WEIGHT ON THE THING MANUALLY?", "Sounds good, lets get to work!"

[@jogreeen]

Jamie had nothing to do with it.

[@MrMarinus18]

28:11 I wonder where that is, maybe it's in the Netherlands or Denmark. There are inland dunes like that from land reclamation projects. That 'lake' is likely only a few inches deep though cause one of the defining attributes of inland sand dunes is that the perfectly round sand is extremely permeable and doesn't hold water. What he is riding on is an oasis which is a point below the ground water level.

[@swedichboy1000]

[@TheHellis]

44:41 by the time he reaches this point he will be traveling 55-75 miles per hour and the flux capacitor will send the Hyneman back to the time he was born

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

He has to be careful that he doesn't prevent the evolution of multicellular life.

[@ft3917]

special tires on the bike will also help

[@hjulster-udkorendedaekcenter]

Bubble wrap around the g-meter?!???! 😂😂😂😂

[@TheHellis]

Just like your average air head

[@Mr-Damage]

The molecular make up of different water sources will make a difference in water surface tension same as jet-dry is used for gold mining. Smooth tyres vs knobbys big difference too.

[@MoggieHendry]

Test the wheel under water from a dead stop......motorcycle doesn't start from dead stop ,it enters at speed.....they needed to do it entering the water from the top 🤔🤔

[@leatherman6328]

Anybody know what’s up with Grant’s left arm?

[@deadcentre6926]

16:28 they fully over thought this one.

[@4224Prod.]

I haven't noticed any people commenting 'RIP Grant' under this video yet.

[@pahom2]

RIP Grant and shame on you to use him to gain likes

[@lucasnunes2001]

Your point being?

[@mawns]

Jumping with the homemade parachute and being conscious (unlike the dummy) will allow you to catch yourself as you impact. This will significantly reduce the Gs, and probably make a 150 G fall survivable.

[@MrMarinus18]

No, 100 G is survivable if you do brace yourself and land correctly.

[@wingerding]

Lol why did they need to make a little hotel room model to inform them what was in their model hotel room?

[@pauljrgensen9535]

Riding a bike on water. They do it in Iceland ;).

[@SergeyIvanov-95155]

It's amazing that the bike can actually run on the water surface

[@binhho2532]

39:20 with the crane, if Buster were a real person, he would land with feet first, roll over then I think the legs would absorb most of the energy from that speed.

[@TheFreeBass]

Can't say I've frequented a lot of hotels, but I've had several friends & family members work in the hotel industry & I have my doubts that ductape is commonly supplied in an average hotel room.

[@AS-pb6bd]

What Season is this? Just for my information? :)

According to wikipedia its the 2013 season, "Motorcycle Water Ski", which might be the 14th season? idk its confusing because it seems like the videos being uploaded on youtube is using a different system for seasons then wikipedia or google

[@PatrickDubek]

Not exactly the nitro circus approach hey?

[@karlnorgaard9447]

As for the motorcycle on water, there was no myth to bust. Its been done many times, documented, many times. Also, like many of the tests they do, the guys have no sense for nuance. The motorcycle needs to approach the water very flat and stable, not bouncing. Also the rider needs to be able to pull back slightly on the bars. Without even having seen this stunt performed, I could tell you that.

[@caelestigladii]

I seem to remember someone riding a bike over at sea. Edit: Yep. There is a video of it. Modified wheels though.

[@maciej21]

14:07 i never noticed that adam has Drake's ring. Sic Parvis Magna

[@ek-nz]

Meaning this episode was filmed after 1 Nov, 2011 (1/11/11) I guess?

[@crwydryny]

Failure is always and option.... No Failure is mandatory, what's optional is whether or not younger Failure be the last thing you do

[@georgesos]

The wheel behind the boat is a stupid test,of course it will float since the power moving it comes from the propeller. You can drag a piece of metal like this and it will float at speed.but you need a BIG boat.

[@CulcoyoteCosmico]

Kind of. The point of the experiment was to see if the wheel will bounce out of control over and over or roll along the water. If the first one happened it will start sinking and floating over and over and prove it was too heavy for a steady travel. The single wheel of the bike was slim enough to work as a watersky. At least for a while. Until the accumulation of resistance hits which is why Jamie couldn't go farther into the water.

[@TheTrueBatBrain]

It's for the difference at a constant speed. Could the power and speed overcome the weight and drag of a motorcycle

[@homer5103]

Bro has a peace profile pic but is straight hateful and does not understand

[@Lagbeard]

Well they put the wheel on the side, but ultimately yea it's not the best test... Since boat is pulling it along so it does straighten out their rig with the wheel once they get to speed, but they did probably account for it by not setting the halfway point to have the wheel above water.

[@Lagbeard]

With enough speed, anything become buoyant in water.

[@Nightwing01010]

What if they were parachuting into the pool?

[@SiNFPVGUAM]

[@piotrnowak7730]

In order for a motorcycle to ride on water, it needs special tires, the same ones used to ride on dunes

[@ft3917]

just go to iceland, there they have someone that rides motorbike over a lake. nothing new.

[@BabakoSen]

I know it's cheating a bit, but I think they should've tried Kari's again to see if the late deployment was a one-off or not

[@mariuszlukasik4587]

If the myth said the man's made the parachute in 3 hrs. U feel like they could put them in a set up hotel room where they only had whats available. And in 3 hrs.

they did do the 3 hours challenge and they gave the team only things you would have in a hotel room
