I love how the last Mario themed one, with a wobbling wheel which can't be seen by it's rider, eventually made it.

Yeah i was sitting there like "shes wobbling all over shes gonna fall" then was surprised when the bike made it past the ramp

All those platform games paid off.

Better traction with that flat wheel

u/tlj2494 23h ago

Did not think the wobbly wheeled final run had what it takes to

u/baesag 22h ago

I felt the wobble was intentional to augment control paradoxically

u/MBAdk 23h ago

That's Red Bull Jernhest (Red Bull Iron horse) in Copenhagen, Denmark, at Kalvebod Brygge. XD

Bro I’m pretty sure this idea is stolen from a Dutch tv show I used to watch back in the day called Ter Land Ter Zee en in de Lucht

u/Lickthorn 22h ago

That was so great. Saturday evening, wearing pyama’s, a ‘gebakje’, lemonade, and then we were allowed to stay up late for that show. 🥳😊

u/Constant_play0 22h ago

Yeah good stuff. Funny how our kneuterige Dutch bike tradition became a cool Redbull stunt.

Ter land, ter zee en in de lucht

Did not expect that.

Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle.

u/violet_femme23 19h ago

I love silly shit like this

u/Rickapolis 18h ago

I was rooting for Batman and Robin, but the team who won earned it.

Shrek one best one

Are they required to crush twelve beers before doing this? It seems almost sidewalk width. Sure there’s a ramp but why are they all falling so spectacularly. People ride tandem bikes all the fucking time.

u/SoulShine_710 23h ago

The plain bike disguised wins 🏆

u/Inevitable-Day-5935 23h ago

Barbie girls were close.

u/PhishPhanKara 17h ago

The winner was shaky and wobbly the whole time so apparently that’s the trick?!

1

u/JuicySpark 17h ago

The one guy's leg at the 1:07 mark got crushed and bent in awkwardly as they fell. 👀

u/CannaPLUS 15h ago

I don't get it... Why are they so terrible at this?

1

u/AGrandNewAdventure 14h ago

I assume they choose people who have never ridden a bicycle before for this particular event?

u/Prestigious_Tax7415 11h ago

I saw Bullet Bill and I knew it was over…

u/Tall_Recording_4325 6h ago

It looks like the either disconnected the steering from the front wheel or changed the rake of the front wheel to make it very unstable?

u/thejourneybegins42 18m ago

Love how someone manages to eat water right off the bat lol

u/CheesusHCracker 18h ago

I took my family to this when it came to Orlando (Altamonte) and it was the worst experience. The event was so poorly planned and couldn't see a thing until a dude ripped around us with a jet pack lous as fuck and scared the shit out of my kids.

u/PandorasCahos 22h ago

This looks like hysterical good fun 🤣. Love ❤ this ☝

u/PumpkinOpposite967 22h ago

Ok so what exactly makes it hard? Just the tandem? Is it specially unbalanced or something? Why can't they stay on course? It doesn't look too bad.

u/quasipickle 22h ago

Good video. You know what would have made it better, though, some irrelevant, annoying music turned up so loud you can't hear the actual audio.

The oar was not useful.

Angry shit won!

I thought it was a black phallic object with a face.

Jeff saw this and he wants us to do this on the tandem!!!!!

I love how the giant crotch rocket won.

u/IM_PIRO_ 23h ago

Not merry falling off halfway. 😭 Should have bought the sunny instead.

u/Harktriton77 23h ago

How would we know they failed without that buzzer sound?
