Lol damn that was awesome!! I thought Gym1 was crazy, this is just nuts

 

[slowngreen]

@HPIguy thanks! Bad ass trans for sure...

I seen that on Yahoo yesterday, that would be a hell of a ride to ride shotgun. I like how they said the car was a "Ford Fiesta"... was there even one item on that car still from Ford?

 

[HPI-Killer]

I'm guessing the tail and headlights lol. I would freak out riding shotty.

Since it made the run without breaking down the answer is clearly no.

It looked like a Go Pro camera fell off when he made the first little jump out of the pier area.

I was waiting for him to hit Lombard St with some speed!

 

[SMaxxin]

That was sweet, I would love to ride shotgun on a run like that! It almost made me want a Fiesta...Almost LOL

I'm guessing he is a drifter... damn drifters will take your shirt if you let them... but pastrana was in the video so you have my attention.... wht the hell kind of tranny was he shifting... 2 knobs... front and rear??? drift is not my thing but the control was bad ass... I'm a rear wheel drive man... this poop is new... but i want to know more... how the hell did he have that kinda control...??? cool poop... call it a ford but its still a tuner... jap crap...I'm a old school harley man...new tech is blowing my mind... i want to build it ... tell me more

 

[tmaxxfreek]

only 1 shifter, the other is the"drift brake", the only thing i seen in the car that was still ford was the dash panel....LOL

 

[HPIguy]

I think the only thing still Fiesta is the Ford emblem at this point.

@HPIguy thanks! Bad ass trans for sure...

Yeah they are. I never thought about our bikes being that way, but they are.

Is that not Lombard at the 5:15 mark?

^^Baa ha ha Yeah, I saw if fall off too

 

[Rolex]

With a little more practice I think he'll be able to keep it in a straight line and not lose control in the turns.

 

[mayrider]

that was cool but that ford just don't have the PURRRRRR that the Subie had.

 

[rcnut143]

Nope, similar but Lombard has 8 turns.

 

[HPIguy]

Aha, I didn't know that. Did you ever see the vid of Doug Domokos wheelying all the way up it, on a two stroke no less? Crazy stuff!

 

[frickenjoey]

Those tires have to be shredded by the time he is done with all of that....pretty impressive driving.

I would guess they change tires a few times. At some points you can see it wasn't his first try.

He makes some entertaining videos, but in the last year I've seen him in the top 10 of WRC once. The problem with rally stages, you only get one take.
