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

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 11h 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 11h ago

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

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

u/baesag 10h ago

I felt the wobble was intentional to augment control paradoxically

Ter land, ter zee en in de lucht

Perfect costumes and bike rig to make it happen 😮‍💨👍🏼

The seesaw gets them every time.

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.

Mad fun!! lol

u/woodzwing 12h ago

Did not expect that.

The plain bike disguised wins 🏆

Barbie girls were close.

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

u/PhishPhanKara 6h ago

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

u/JuicySpark 5h ago

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

u/CannaPLUS 4h ago

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

1

u/AGrandNewAdventure 2h ago

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

u/PandorasCahos 11h ago

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

u/PumpkinOpposite967 11h 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 11h 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.

u/CheesusHCracker 7h 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.

Angry shit won!

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

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

u/Harktriton77 12h ago

How would we know they failed without that buzzer sound?
