This is where Science and Guy come together. Understanding the Science behind the physics and the practical behind the physics makes for a better understanding. You are never to Old to learn. It shows how keen Guy is , even if it is above and beyond him. This just shows the calabria of Guy. Mostly miss understood and taken for a " NUTTER". I cannot wait for the next update.

[@randymctavish5308]

Guy looks so happy when he hears 40 mph I think he was expecting alot more

[@jamieforsyth4804]

What a bloody legend !!!!!..I would love to have a few beers with this man.Is there anything he can't do and do dam well ?..Nope..Give him a Knighthood..

[@aleccap8863]

How can you not love Guy Martin would love to meet him for a pint

[@stamrly418]

The science gives the facts. But it needs Guy to take these and make them necessary to understand them in the real world. There is science in everything we do, but to have it shown and explained in a way that “us non academics” can see is great. From the white board with the formulas to the slow motion of the real world they compliment each other and each proves the other.. Well done...making science meaningful. The classic lightbulb moment for many I would expect. Amacf

4:00 When I was a kid jumping my bike, I learned quickly, you've got to pull quite hard to keep the front wheel up as the black wheel leaves the ramp.

[@boneav83]

On a motorbike you use the brake and throttle to keep the bike level or raise/lower the front or back wheel.

[@daviddewilde8041]

Hello, That's how we used to do trick jumps with rc cars. It's indeed fascinating. The effect with the motorcycle will be a lot less of course due to the bigger weight difference between wheel and motorcycle. Only one wheel in stead of 4. And the power to weight ratio. And the fact the motorcycle wheel is better balanced. And... And... Nice tech explanation. And video. Cheers from Belgium

Imagine if dirt bike riders did these calculations and took this long to do an 8 foot high jump. Just hit it mate , you ride Isle of Man risking death you got this easy bro

[@arj-]

They gotta make an episode out of it I guess. As an MXer this was hilarious to watch

[@bbggakkba]

Well they do this... Those big jumps absolutely they do the math on them. Speed required angles the works

[@arj-]

OutdoorSoHard_69 No they do not. Not for an 8 foot jump.

[@coltmagnus6572]

@@bbggakkba Not in the 90's at least, unless it was a distance attempt. A rider would see the jump, size it up visually, choose the appropriate gear and huck it or follow another rider already jumping it. But someone always has to go first.

ARJ don’t do the math and that but they deffo know how to level the bike out in the air and that

Hugh Hunt for prime minister. He's a lovely (and very smart) chap and he takes climate change really seriously, which is a real benefit in a PM right now.

[@emlix1]

Nah, you voted for Boris, we need Guy in Australia.

[@coltmagnus6572]

The bike won't tip forward if you're driving up the ramp and a panic rev in the air will bring the front up, too. Hah you got there in the end.. lol See the jump, 3rd gear 3/4 revs up the ramp and hop the fence, load the bike back up and head home for some tea and scones. You're the intrepid Guy Martin!

Very interesting. Now I know why my bicycle lurches forward on the bike stand when I test the brakes.

[@Maniwasaki]

Is Guy going to do the jump eventually?

[@coltmagnus6572]

I know, he's in Japan now. I bet Steve McQueen seen the grass ramp, said to the director, I'll jump it and just hit it at speed first time, no science and I don't even think he wore a helmet.

Any attempt to convince anyone that Guy Martin is not #1 rider in the world is a tosser. The calculations are probably spot on but a handful of C notes says that Guy would be having more fun if he could talk to Steve Mcqueen or Bud Ekins about all this jumping stuff.

Supercross riders are the ones to talk to - they control the pitch of the bike mid-jump...

As usual a scientist talking rubbish. Watch a motocross race they do the same jump over and over and always land in the exact same spot

[@jonasthemovie]

Wendy McAnena Do they?

[@SuperSpatman]

Maybe. But they are adjusting for their run up each time they hit a jump. They are also adjusting their position in the air. Not the same as turning a tennis ball machine on and just leaving it.

[@benimac2938]

it's never going to be exactly the same spot, that appears to be the point you've missed here. A small adjustment in a variable gives a totally different result each time. As was proven with the tennis balls. Just because you can't grasp the concept doesn't mean it's "rubbish".

[@emlix1]

Yep. Scientists 'talk rubbish' all the time. Next time you go to your GP bear that in mind. Anything s/he tells you will be utter nonsense. You should do the exact opposite.
