Gone Wrong! Goulian Pylon Crash

[erickctroy]

anyone know the what´s the name of the background song?

[Yago174]

mad skillz yo

[Armydude771]

IS THE PYLON OKAY?

[MrSupraman13]

good save

[parakmi1]

they should make pylons out of solid concrete so they won;t get destroyed every time a plane hits them.

[cloudsifter11]

That sounds dumb- "Oyyyyyy there's the pylon hit!"

[TheBeardedGamer77]

The only way to make this sport any manlier is to build those pylons out of stone.

[PrownToOwn]

Why are his bottom eyelids almost buldging?

[T3DDY1997]

hes american what do you ecspect

[FlynAggie14]

@T3DDY1997 Oh yeah? Where do you live?

[T3DDY1997]

@FlynAggie14 malta

[paradoxb3]

@T3DDY1997 - Yea, geez...  Everyone knows all the best, truely hardcore pylon racers come from Malta.....

[febjune00]

pylon hit!!

[marianguitarchick1]

@T3DDY1997 Your spelling and punctuation are both awesome! -from an American.

[spinfox2000]

I never want to dogfight this guy :P

[ThisNormalLife]

How do they fly that low and that fast, balls of steel!

[megaflyer99]

i would have shit bricks. this guy has nerves of steel.

[bjornverborgt]

the pylon material likely disturbed the airflow over the right wing causing it to stall momentarily..

[swampfoot]

Looks like the pylon material may have gotten caught up in the aileron spade, forcing his right aileron up momentarily, causing a roll to the right. Maybe they ought to install non-spaded ailerons for these pylon races, in case the next time one of them gets hung up in pylon material, it causes a loss of roll control. More work for the pilot, but I'd bet they're strong enough to handle it.

[bliglum]

He's lucky that shit fell off his wing, or things would have gotten alot worse real fast.

[debougie]

You must construct additional pylons

[sciencefreak2402]

song?

[transdrole]

@sciencefreak2402 Another weird rip from Pink Floyd's Welcome To The Machine. There's another vid on here photographing Hawaii's lava flows with a 9+ minute version.

[STeNeNSTeN96]

this is how chuck norris slices fruit, nice save btw

[branflake14]

What a noob how could he hit the pylon like that. I've won 3 different Red Bull air races. Goulian is such a noob.

[supertoaster94]

@branflake14

Bullshit.

[comcfi]

OMG DID HE DIED

[coolwaterhubby]

A great pylon racer i would like to no how much does it cost for engine,esc, battery and where did you buy from.

[zen66608]

Jeeeeez. The reactions these guys have when they're in the zone is phenomenal.

[blizzards134]

Red bull air race kicks F1's ass any day!!

[y0utube1973]

Balls the size of the moon.

What music is that?

[beedylove]

that almost spun in when he pulled g after the pylon hit

[nethoser]

Looks like it started yawing right, scary shit!

[TheRaginTiger]

SCHTIPYOOK

[DSPoductions]

he saved his ass!



[rawshackhalo]

scary much

[rawshackhalo]

scary

[hwazn511]

what is the name of yhe music pleas?

pleeeeeaaaaaaaaase?

[doh1959]

bet these pilots have their balls removed at an early age and titanium ones put in

[graymic]

@doh1959 more like they've flown so much that they are confident in what they do. :P

[Chinook249]

he chopped it lol

[dsn348]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh brutal.....

[Kasprzes]

great music! somebody knows what is the title?

[oldrumer4u]

great recovery, save yourself and the aircraft for another day

[oTechnical]

L0L0L0L Clean cut.

[SuperbD2009]

maximum Gforce=Pure adrenaline

[mlpko]

its astonishing how agile these planes are, its just, just amazing

[cristofolon]

balls you can see from outer space

[oXFalconXo]

Damn... 

[blanknot]

There wouldn't be this problem if the pylons were made of concrete. 

[gavsky23]

@blanknot...brilliant idea. I was thinking maybe metal, but that's going to be expensive, so your concrete is a much better bet. I also wanted batteries of AA guns all along the route but the spoil-sports wouldn't run with that. Gits... :-)

[blanknot]

@gavsky23 That would make good TV, though.

[norshamhadi]

omg! that was a close one. pheww...

anyways.. do you guys know the song to this video? its kinda nice

[Sting3733]

Wow great save.

[Husqvarnah01]

Pylon grabs wing, extra drag tilts it towards the earth. Must have an amazing reaction time to get a feel for the new net drag and compensate

[maksenDK]

nice save

[TheAwesomeBlossom]

Indy, NASCAR, Rally, Dirttrack, Drag, etc

Forget about them. They dont hold a candle to this sort of racing

[Lithoushine]

hopefully he was wearing brown pants!

(i don't think he was, notice he doesn't get out of the plane)

[hawkpilot2312]

what a job :)

[straighttailpilot]

OMG! he almost killed himself DUDE!

[rggfgjerjh]

i used to think those were made from cement lol. one screw up there and your good as gone

[dillyboy1984]

Dink that guy has awsome skills, girls love skills, just not my bow-staff skills.

[jackcarpentersax]

Why are they doing this in highly populated areas?

[1986lost1986]

que sustitooo.. (what a little scare dude.)

[lukepevensie]

this guy is flying at airshows when he's not racing, that's why is so good

[destin325]

i love how he was not a sissy about it either....a real old spice man, so to speak.....

nah, it looked probably worse than it really way...

what he really said..."i had it under control....dont worry, ill still pick your mom up at 7 sharp"

[ebouwman034]

@destin325 LOL

He's a real top gun/tom cruise personality

[saq428]

Looks like he had it under control. He rolled beyond 90 degrees on purpose to let the piece of pylon stuck to the wing detach itself.

[booniecap101]

Whoa... that gave me goosebumps... I was trying to fly his plane with my body english... lol

[gnorts88]

thats why they dont use concrete pylons i think

[nenblom]

Excellent! Five stars!

[detibry]

this sport is epic

[mrbrunse]

Balls of steel

[hugetits92007]

yeah... i would have crapped myself lol

[pogpog28]

nice skills!

[leow626569]

nice save

[Brocakedonut]

it was because you didnt construct additional ones

[glaasSchnappi]

good reaction

[pmbatwork]

Le show serait meilleur si les pilons etaient remplies d'hydrogene.

[ollietoots50]

Anyone know what the song is???

Thanks

[414gbg]

Those guys are the ninjas of our time (in terms of their ultra reflexes).

[tanstrack]

Super fast reaction time is what makes him such a great pilot --and keeps him alive-- despite his ever-so-humble interview.  Impressive!

[haolekillah]

why does being humble matter? we both think he's a bad ass. whats so bad with agreeing with us

[roost89]

super-fast reactions there! Glad to see he didn't end up in the water

[cobaltjones]

yeah, water will disintegrate a plane instantly with any speed. he was going about 150 when he hit it. he would've been instantly killed.

[ancomat76]

QUESTO CARISSIMO E' CULO....!!!!!

[jakem1900]

whats the aircraft ?

[Ownage2themax3]

Hmm...would it be possible to suspend the pylons in the air to avoid near-crashes like this?

Maybe the pylon would be attached to a rope 30 or so feet in the air. The pylon could be filled with helium or something to keep it aloft. I don't know how to deal with the pylon drifting around tho.

[timberwolf7102james]

Not the smartest Idea You ever see what happens when 30 feet of rope gets tangled up in a prop? the plane loses the pylons are paper thin you fly over water which is better then hard ground its safe

[Ownage2themax3]

Yeah I was kinda iffy on the thought too.

[AnAngryPossom]

@Ownage2themax3 i agree with timberwolf7102james. plus filling them with helium would make for a huge fire risk. if a plane did clip one those things would blow up from any spark generated, not to mention hot exhaust from the engine. and the kind of cable needed to tether one of those things down would not break easily if clipped by a wing, and because those planes are so light weight and thin that would tear the wing right off, which is much worse than hitting a pylon filled with air.

[Ownage2themax3]

Yeah, after I posted the comment, I was really getting second thoughts about the idea XD

[rustyATV]

Helium is not flammable. You're thinking of hydrogen.

[AnAngryPossom]

actually most helium used to fill airships and the kind that would most likely be used to fill one of those balloons is a mixture of several gases including hydrogen, it provides better lift than just straight helium because the canvas that these would be made of is extremely heavy

[AnAngryPossom]

which would make it flamamble. the helium itself isn't but the other gases with it are.

[rustyATV]

Helium is the ONLY gas used in blimps. You can refer to the Goodyear Blimp's FAQ page. And these pylons are actually made of rip-stop Nylon, the same very light material that hot air balloons are.

[Flumphinator]

@AnAngryPossom

Do you have any idea how much helium it would take to fill just one of those things?

Think of those inflatable arm-flailing tube men that you see outside of car dealerships. These are the exact same things.

[jwboll]

@AnAngryPossom

the pilons are made of spinnaker rip-stop nylon, a very lightweight and flexible material used for making sails for boats. They are strapped to the ground and filled with regular air, pumped in by a gas powered blower, the same way the inflatable kids bouncy rooms at carnivals are filled.

[AnAngryPossom]

yeah i understand that. if you read the whole thing you'd see that the other guy was making suggestions on how to fix them, i understand what they're made of.

[jwboll]

@AnAngryPossom

oh, ok.

to fix them, they use zippers on each section so they can shut off the air pump, zip the broken piece off, and zip up the replacement piece. In about 5 minutes.

[buzmil]

Umm, seriously man, Helium is non-flammable.....

[suprafrase]

@AnAngryPossom helium wouldn't be a fire risk as its an inert gas. hydrogen on the other hand is flammable as proved so horrifically with the Hindenburg Airship disaster of 1937. using air would be incredibly cheaper than helium and as you rightly point out, they would be much easier to anchor down

[JVC7400]

close to crash into water after the hit.

[reaperrowledge]

new pants please!!!!

[addernoir01]

Wow I thought when he rolled past 90 degrees so close to the water he'd be dead. He must've come within about half a second or so of being killed. I suppose that's probably a long time for these people though ;o)

[SenhoraMaroca]

nice skill

[xzapken]

F~~K !

[michaelfarm]

Abort, abort, abort!!!

[phippsa3]

Great recovery. Had my heart in my mouth for a second there.

[tailwheelflier]

wing dipped because of aerodynamic force's that disrupt the airflow across the wing,,,,I know this is over the heads of most of you "non flying" peoples,,,,no disrespect,,but till you have flown to the extremes,,,you simply can't understand aerodynamics and aviation

[aaron8862006]

Not necessarily the only cause for the wing dip... you sound a little cocky now don't you!

[tailwheelflier]

yes,,,yes I am. Could be he flinched,,,putting a little aileron in there for a split second,,,,so, do you understand aerodynamics? I mean,,,,be "one" with the plane, know what makes them fly, dive, accend,,,turn? What makes an airplane turn? Technically? Answer that question,,and I'll humor you with more conversation

[texdcd]

By the way...the arrogance in your tone and the videos of your low passes make you a prime candidate to be a lesson to others...if you get my meaning!

[texdcd]

I'll humor you...looks like the pylon material separated from the wing and momentarily acted like a aileron/spoiler inducing a right roll. But what would I know because I never "fly to the extremes" in an ultralight!

[albedoshader]

You can with the appropriate knowledge of aerodynamic engineering :)

The sudden loss of lift on one wing is like an unwanted wing slip maneuver, pretty dangerous at that height. But pilots like Goulian know their planes like their own body and do the right correction maneuvers automatically. Great video.

[betsiej]

well said

[amediastintas]

four words. these guys have balls

[ERCuK]

yeah balls handle the g-force :)

[Warbirdguy1]

@amediastintas "If your sport requires you to wear a helmet they dont expect you to be that bright" Warbird Pilots!

[tryithere]

@amediastintas They have balls And Wingnuts.

[TheAmazingCreative]

@amediastintas And others would say No brains.

[EXMR84]

ICEMAN! the only word....

[monkeys1123]

wow i think the reason it got dragged down was the piece of the pylon that was stuck on the wing that was close..

[psari210]

thank you captain obvious... he explains it at the end

[cnknguyen]

damn that was fuckin close....good skills

[planelover195]

good pilot

[pvtdangles]

yeah drag and airflow disturbance... someone is gonna die in this sport oneday

[pickles512]

people have.....

[pvtdangles]

who and when? was it when red bull where sponsoring?

[shiittalker]

awesome recovery

[fokjock]

he lost lift on his right wing caused by the drag of the pylon.

might have been his last.....WHAT A DRAG!!-

[FlightLevelHeaded]

If they made the pylons out of bricks they'd never have that problem.

Respect the pylons...RESPECT IT!

No he didn't die and no one gives a damn what song is playing.

[SPECTORMAN1973]

Are these guys fighter pilots? If not they should be.

[noneactive]

@ SPECTORMAN1973:

Wow I just hate people who think that way. Such amazing skills, and all he's good for in your opinion is for killing other humans? Thumbs down.

[mercury46]

they were fighter pilots

if you haven't been a fighter pilot you can't be a red bull pilot

[DenisWasHere12]

that's a lie. It doesn't say that anywhere.

[ravemonk]

there are definitely some airline pilots in there

[texdcd]

Kirby Chambliss was'nt...so I guess he's not a Red Bull pilot?

[FlatSpins109]

even though he hit it, he is still one of the best pilots in the world.

[DeniskaFromRussia]

those are fucking brave guys!!!!!

[XACMF]

Yes in deed!

[red03mitsu]

"looked worse than it was" ???

looked pretty bad since he was headed towards the river

[Majorbud]

That Dude Is an F'n Bad Ass!

[nmatthis]

Does anyone know the song playing on this video?

[Privateer17]

its called (LUCKY)

by Aerosmith.

[MGB1977Red]

The spikes on the wing are actually aileron spades. They provide a power assist to the ailerons, reducing stick pressure. The elevator and rudder have extensions past the pivot point which have the same effect of powering the control surfaces. Some of the old WW2 aircraft felt like the stick was frozen solid at high speeds.

[MGB1977Red]

At 1:14 the aircraft has stopped flying and is starting to snap right to inverted and into the drink. A little opposite aileron and easing up a tad on the elevator saves the day with a couple inches to spare. He's still pulling the turn to get back on course which takes some moxie. A fat wing and a lot of power makes these hits survivable.

[eiffeduden]

imagine the G's you get from doing this, its like no other thing in the world

[random4nutin]

that was a nice save

[brett6344]

the have spike things on the wing that is there to destro the pylon

[CharlieReZa]

NO THEY DONT BRETT.

you dont know what you are on about..

[Trondheim18]

What is the name of the the song?

[alexmun133]

he just kicked in a little left rudder and left aileron ..so it reallt wasnt anything there has been worse recoveris than that

[djdecember]

.5 seconds away from pulling into the water

[joesabido]

"... so it probably looks worse than it really was" .... no shit sherlock!!!

[smackeythefrog]

I'll watch this over Nascar, any day.

[jjs4you2]

He could of over reacted to that situation and ended up in really bad shape, but he kept his cool and kept his inputs on the stick as lite as needed to get him out of that situation.

I don't know if thats big balls but rather a cool head and excellent flying instincts!

[Bropo3]

lol sorry i meant video not wideo

[Bropo3]

if you watch the wideo its made of nylon rubber filled with co2

[FuckShepherd]

shit almost took a swim.

[eprevhay]

what r pylons made of?

[markrua4]

lightly stitched tyvek, so it wont damage or bring a plane down (easily)

[zemixis]

thin synthetics kept up by air pumps

[dodgedart74]

concret and steel, maybe alittle depleted uranium, what does it look like?

[NinjahuaV2p1]

haha very funny!

[2willgo]

loop?

[rcairpower]

Wow, nice save. He's really a cool guy, I would have pissed the cockpit after that.

[skysurfer0805]

FAST as F***  what a reaction that could have ended in a crash

[mheaven26]

it does make you wonder how long before something goes horribly wrong at one of these events and the plane crashes into the crowd or something.

[UKVoodooUK]

probably about same time as when a plane crashes at an airshow or reno racing, or a driver loses his life in rallyin or nascar, it'll be 1 of those moments were dispite all the best precautions been taken nothign could stop what happened :(

[Assaiki]

I'm always stunned of how fast these pilots can react.

[Rawr454]

Wow stalled it for a second, then recovered right before it was too late. Little to close for comfort.

[BluesMan9teen69]

what happen if that plane have a direct hit through the pylon, did the plane crash??? This men got balls...

[bods93]

its not that hard but depending on how you hit you could crash. or it might get stuck in the prop, but anything can happen rly. and hell yeah.

[wcc963]

no it just bust right through it. the prop is spinning fast enough and the fabric is light enought that it dosnt effect the engine or prop much at all

[grako76]

im suprised these guys can fit thier balls in the cockpit....they must be huge!!!

[Drazarian1021]

lol thats clever

[AirBorne2418]

Name of Song?

[kingstrike00]

anyone know the name of this song?

[bajesus666]

wow he almost lost it for a second

The loser almost lost his life!
