Rusevelt Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Impressive going under all that pressure. I take it this is some kind of German, or world record. Is there any more info on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TECHNODROME Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 They so made him wear those elbow pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsy Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Impressive going under all that pressure. I take it this is some kind of German, or world record. Is there any more info on this? It's a show where you bet that you can do something and a prominent person then agrees with you, or doesen't. And if that prominent person is wrong they have to do something thay aranged for them. Not sure about the records though, but I think you also could do them there. Just too bad that he didn't make it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 What do you mean he didn't make it? This particular challenge looks simular to italian trialster Vittorio Brumotti's rail to rail longest distance world record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'scoolfool Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) wish he'd gapped on seb's head at the end lol Edited June 19, 2011 by old'scoolfool 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Well it was good enough that S.Vettel wasn't the man of the moment on that occassion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgnoseat Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 that rail is pretty high, did he even have a chance to practice on that bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have made it in the time that is shown underneath.. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 that rail is pretty high, did he even have a chance to practice on that bike? What I thought too, higher then a standard road railing, I think? On OTN he said he was given the frame for it, so he had the bike for a while. There's some other photo's of him riding it.

Martin Direske Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I had time to train it, and we really trained the shit out of everything.. that's why I'm quite sad it didn't turned out that well in the end. Before the event everything worked great but then... well, you see lol. You just can't plan every possible mistake. We've spent a great time over there in Palma though, one of the best experiences I've ever made =) Thank you for your nicecomments! =) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
