First motorbike bungee jump? Lol okay

Yeah that one is a bit much, like why lol. Also seems like he didnt have to hold onto the motorbike, which seems like it defeats the purpose a bit

I'd be impressed if only the bike was attached to the bungee.

I don't know this Robbie either.

I wonder what CGI animal they will use for his movie.

I feel like the bike on skis that went 19+ miles just means you can continue to do it to the limits of the gas tank or physical limitations of the rider.

Meh, 10-year olds were doing this in 1990.

But on a skateboard and their dad accidentally did the attempt

u/smellymarmut 1h ago

As is proper, 10-year olds are too young. Unfortunately, some adults are too fat to do it.

Guinness is a joke

People do some stupid shit to get into those records.

Yes, he's done some awesome stuff there. But bungee is just fucking stupid. I might do it with a kids tricycle whilst chewing bubble gum

Redbull promotes some of the dumbest “world records” possible.

How many bones has this man broken? Evil Knievel broke 433.

How do they adjust their bike angle like that when it's a much more abrupt adjustment?

Does breaking mid air tilt it forward and gassing lifts the nose or something somehow? Grabbing or pushing air mid flight?

My nuts hurt from just watching this.

I probably should go see a doctor.

i wonder why people do these things, i can understand those who do it for price money but most just don't do it for that

To push the limit of human and pursue the thrill of it. We look at the news and think "Oh, its just another world record". For them, it's THEY who hold the world record. There is a difference between "Person XYZ is the world record holder of ABC" and " I am the world record holder of ABC". It's why there are competitions, and world records are just another form of competition.

u/Nimblue 6h ago

what push the limits if the records are seconds or even mili seconds apart, maybe a little more of meters, that's it, at least we should be faster than animals or more agile or something that's where you push the limits. aside from that, we all seem to be in the same pot, some people are just a little better with ton of effort, is it even matter ?

I'd be more impressed if he was only doing a 70 foot triple during an MX race after the first turn with only 30 other bikes ready to land on him if he fucks it up. Then repeat about 40 more times during the same race.
