If a rider on a motorbike rides backward on a practice transferring ahead, will they keep in the identical spot? In the latest Crimson Bull clip worthy of an episode of Mythbusters, Dawid Godziek proves the reply is sure. Largely.
Calling it a world-first, Godziek’s feat was a collaboration with Prada Linea Rossa, supported by Grupa Azoty Koltar and PKP Polish State Railways. All that help was obligatory as a result of the objective was to journey a slopestyle course constructed on high of 10 practice carriages transferring at a velocity of 23km/h. The course featured 8 jumps, a curler, and a stair drop, which Godziek conquered on his customized Specialised bike outfitted with Continental tires.
Oh, and Godziek additionally deliberate to drag off a world-first flat drop backflip down a set of stairs. No huge deal.
“At first, I practised using on the monitor whereas the practice was parked. As soon as I felt assured, we set the practice in movement and step by step elevated the velocity. 23 kilometres per hour was the correct transferring velocity to match my using velocity to create the sensation of using in a single place. That impression of a frozen background could be very unusual. Navigating this course easily was far more difficult than it appeared,” mentioned Godziek.
Overcoming the wind, the disorienting motion and velocity of the practice, and the trick issue itself, Godziek managed to drag off a visible spectacle that’s not like something we’ve seen.
