  • will get his jacobs rocked! LMAO!

  • Where can I get the plans to build a roller like that.

  • that seems like it would beat you up a bit...

  • ok..the other guys simulate tracks...he is simulating mountain biking...

  • Is the wood part of the bearing surface? Wouldn't this catch on fire after a bit?

  • this is an a rough road simulator...

  • huge ass tires

  • .... SNAP the frame breaks why is it so thin

  • @dokant its chromoly 4130 steel

  • what is really the point of this bike? i really like it but i cant figure out what is it good for

  • @mateivornicu alaska

  • @mateivornicu similar to a snow shoe, this bike is needed for terrain where you need a larger "footprint" like riding on snow/ice/sand.

  • Awesome video, for the bike and the rollers

  • i think this roller is meant to make you poop.

    or upper upper strength

  • do a wheelie!

  • that's awesome, noisy, but awesome

  • FRED FLINSTONES YABADABADOO!!!!!!!!!!

  • Stone age!

    

  • I've never used one of those things before; I was wondering...how do you stop without breaking yourself?

  • I just built one of these. I can't wait to ride my fixie in it with no saddle. Just seatpost!

  • totally, it makes think of something from the flintstones

  • Where do I get one!  That's so cool! I'll pay good $ for one. marvplacino@aol.com

  • @landrovermarv Make your own. If it's supposed to mimic offroad, you shouldn't even need a measuring tape. I made some road ones out of enormous conveyor rollers I found and some old 2X4s. Innertube to drive the front roller.

  • damn wat kinda rim and tires are they and wat size

  • Jane! Stop this crazy thing!

  • WHY CAN'T I FUCKING GET ANYWHERE?!

  • nice tires

  • 1000 ways to die

  • holy shit, look at this tire, great training outhow!=P

    ehehehe

  • pneu massa...

  • hope he has a really nice seat

  • how wide are the tires and rims?

  • I love it!! Are there plans available to build this?

  • I love it!! Are there plans available to build this?

  • throw some dough under and you'll get some spread for pizzas and cookies

  • Riding that and I would call myself "Ein-stein"...

  • @IIcbII LOL! I never thought about what his name meant. I guess his great-grand daddy wasn't able to fork over enough of a bribe to the local nobleman to get a name like Goldstein

  • madness, madness, madness ...

    .

    hilarious, efficient and recyclable. This is creativity to simulate rolling terrain.

    I like most thought it was funny.

    Who was the engineer Fred, Burney or bot?

    iabadabaduuuu

  • @geziel31 madness?

    THIS IS SPAAAAAAARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  • Flintsones, meet the Flintstones ... ;-)

  • the shit people come up with, this made me chuckle

  • BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAQHAHAHA

  • sweet baby jesus!!! look at the size of those tires, they wouldnt look out of place on a motor bike!

  • Man that bike looks like a monster! Was waiting for him to start yelling out: "Yaba Daba dooo" Nice....

  • jesus what size tires are those they look huge

  • i think on said riding conditions i would want some sort of suspension.

  • you guys are cool

  • ahahaha, that trainer is the most ghetto thing I've seen in years.

  • Man your neck and shoulders must keep shaking for an hour after you get off that thing.

  • Damn he's strong on that flintstone roller. LOL

  • Ok... now THAT is what I would call a Trainer

    Insanely nice!

  • pugsley is the model, surly is the brand.

  • this guy would soon rediscover fire...

    Cool flintstone roller.

  • for snow/sand

  • Because that is what they are built to run.

  • i'll remove my comment

    after i leave it here

  • nice video

  • those are the large marge rims from surly with endomorph tires. 4" of rubber

  • omfg did u get those wheels off a tractor or something??

  • wtf huge rims

  • you don't often see someone wearing a helmet on the rollers...

  • hahaha im sorry but that shit looks like its bout to fall apart but for all i know its probabaly more stable then i think :P

  • i wonder what would happen if i take my cervelo P3C on that XD

  • it would be good training.. if u wanted to do the Paris Roubiax

  • @rickpaulos Sorry but it is gyroscopic forces that keep you upright on a bike. Weather you use hands or not. Hence the reason you can not stay upright when standing still. I offer this video as evidence of the fact. This will also show how the tires create gyroscopic energy and stay balanced even as you are not moving forward.

  • @Smallfrythetall not true, the reason you have balance while pedaling is that when your wheels are rotating, if you lean slightly on a side, the front wheel goes into that direction and the centrifuge force redresses your bike or keeps it in balance. the light weight of the wheels makes the gyroscopic forces insignificant.

  • @rickpaulos I hear people debate how rollers work all the time. The bottom line is it is physically no different that riding on the ground at a constant speed with a tailwind of equal speed to what your riding. It's just like a treadmill. And just like riding on the road, balance is derived from a comibination of gyroscopic force and fork rake.

  • @rickpaulos

    Well, actually, the spinning wheels act as gyros. Otherwise anyone could do an extended track stand and have no trouble.

  • It's amazing, is he Fred Flintstone ?

  • heheheh crazy man! =D

  • wait a minute!?!?! why doesn the bike tip over? ive never seen something like this before. thought you actually have to be moving in order to have balance, hes in one spot

  • Nope bikes have several things keeping them up, one being gyroscopic forces (lift your front wheel up and have someone spin it then turn the fork). But it won't balance as easily as a bike in motion. More reading google precession. Headstock angle also comes into play with a bike in motion.

  • Is there any level of resistance?

  • Are those the Barney Rubble World Champion model roller.

  • HAHHAHAHAHA nice

  • Is anyway i could buy those rollrs? any place?

  • Lol ^^

  • it´s awkward! it simulates the trails, an off road roller, cool!

  • is this a demonstration on how to make your balls fall off

  • @Maxxisracing Now thats ferking funny...lol

  • Now this is a lot better! Nice vid.

  • Wow - that'll get you ready for mountain biking season!

  • Try riding on rollers for any significant period of time in jeans and tell us how your crotch feels afterwards...

  • You're right. Nobody makes padded mountain bike shorts... it's either lycra or jeans. lol

  • There's also the issue of friction. Again, tell us how your inner thighs feel after you've been pedaling for a few hours.

    Or, you know, get over it.

  • thick tryes..

  • sweet workout!

  • Nice rollers! :D

  • Eh, not too bad on the taint. That there, my friends, is a Surly Pugsley. That mufugger right there has clearance for 4.0" tires. THey had to make the fork so wide up front to fit the tire, that it has the same spacing as the rear tire. Some adventure racers use this bike, because you can put a second spare rear wheel up front in case you fry your freehub. Just swap wheels!

  • lol

  • how wid are your tires?

  • lol funny lil machine...

    I like it though- I can see it gives ya the full mountain bike feel

  • that cannot feel good.

    its like getting punched repeatedly in the taint.

  • i`ve got to get one of those shit!!!

  • holy crap! you guys are insane! :p
