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!

Seeing Jamie balance on the end of that boat while it started bouncing at speed as a bit nerve wracking lol. I know you can do this with a similar vehicle, cause we do it lots in Canada with snow mobiles and open water sometimes.

[@erikhelm9672]

we actually have built a DIY parachute out of an old tent, some rope and a backpack...our testing was riding downhill at full speed and let the chute go...it almost rippend me off the bike😂😂....2 days later we jumped from the roof of a 2 story building😂😂😂...yes, it worked once for everyone, nobody got hurt at all...we never did it again, that was almost 22 years ago😂

[@Jack-he8jv]

the only thing they will be putting is blackrock/vanguard mental disease brainwashing.

[@scrivener68]

They seem pretty certain that hitting the ground at 30 mph is unequvicolly deadly, but that equates to a fall from 30 feet. I wouldn't feel great about it, but if I had to jump out of a 30-foot-high window because the building was on fire, I'd feel reasonably confident about my chances of surviving the fall. The problem with dropping Buster is that he doesn't react to situations the way a human actually would. They might as well just drop a 180-pound anvil. They needed a Buster with springs in his joints to at least account for a person's natural shock absorption.

[@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.

[@MrMarinus18]

21:10 I think also the real control should have been with a real parashute. I don't think 20 ft is enough for a normal parashute to unfold and save you.

[@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.

[@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]

[@gamingbady5305]

Grants was never going to work to get out of the window

[@MilaWht]

Maybe if he could reach the rooftop? But still wouldn't get out the door, and if it did, I'm guessing jumping out of a 20 story building with that would slam you against the wall

[@richardvanzyl6485]

If only Travis Pastrana was around during the shooing of this episode. lol

[@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.

[@johndeaux8815]

It's one of those ideas that seems good until you're in the water going 80-90mph and realise you have to lean over the edge of a speedboat towards a skewer that is moving at the same speed

[@Bourinos02]

That most replayed moment lol!

[@moodyrick8503]

I think Carey's parachute would have worked, if it had been dropped from a higher position. But it opened up to late, & thus did not have enough time, to slow down the drop.

[@lloydsumpter7735]

Since a "real" parachute is 26 ft diameter, I'm not surprised their 12-ft diameter chutes didn't work!

[@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.

[@agnesabrahams9679]

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

[@janekk8]

I'm pretty sure that Buster enjoys his retirement with his wife in their lovely house somewhere in southern Spain or Oklahoma.

[@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.

[@wingerding]

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

[@jogreeen]

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

[@MrMarinus18]

I do think the control should have been a real parachute. I kind of think from 20 stories a regular parachute wouldn't save you as it's meant to inflate quite slowly to not jerk you to hard.

[@Bull3tBikes]

That’s what she said

[@jomorken4853]

They always find the way that never would work and just go: It is the same

[@ricokramer7716]

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

[@pepperroni6252]

so it is possible? theyre testing if its possible nobody specified the tire layout

[@haroldcruz8550]

The fact that they were able to do it using std wheels makes the confirmation better

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@SergeyIvanov-95155]

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

[@swedichboy1000]

Motocross Madness

[@dankbank7424]

I don't get why Tori/Grant/Kari needed to weigh the parachute materials after getting the lift measurements. I would have assumed that the effect of material weight would already be factored in during the lift test. If a parachute lifts Xlbs, it's really lifting Xlbs plus it's own weight.

[@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 🤔🤔

[@ewanbaxter9199]

It is often shown on KZbin if you ride fast enough you can cross a small lake.

[@ft3917]

special tires on the bike will also help

[@ydenneki]

Nitro Circus PROVED it's possible to ride on water for a good distance as long as some slight modifications are made to the bike. Riding across a swimming pool on a stock dirt-bike was simple for Travis Pastrama, so they stepped it up and put aggressive knobbly tyre on the rear and bolted a couple of ski-like plates to either side of the front (smooth) tyre and managed to ride the bike about 200 meters (~650ft) across a lake before the velocity dropped below the buoyancy level and it sank. Robbie Madison went one better and fitted several ski-plates to his bike and rode it through the surf in Tahiti (see Robbie Madison's Pipe Dream kzbin.info/www/bejne/onXMaqh8mKlqjqs ) then set a world record of 31.8km

[@pauljrgensen9535]

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

[@ashleyobrien4937]

46:10 No, that wasn't it at all, the fact is he didn't shift his weight OFF the front, and toward the rear, which is what you are supposed to do because the rear wheel is the motive force, it's totally opposite to riding on ground, which riders talk about "getting over the front wheel, riding the front wheel" you can't do that on water ! totally different tactic !

[@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.

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.

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.
