High Speed Gate Crash Steve Jones, Red Bull Air Race Detroit

[TheSheiban]

I was there on the Detroit side when it happened! It was pretty loud...

[JflyG]

dude, Steve Jones, you suck! the goal is to go around and inbetween the pylons!

[bartybum]

@JflyG well, its quite hard to do that you know

[JflyG]

i know but its not impossible.. n im jus sayin that cuz he has the 2 worst pylon hits ive ever seen

[digireedoo]

go on then clever bollocks - you go up there and try and fly as well as him

[JflyG]

i will fly better than him. fly is my middle name.

[andreabgn1]

No. Those parts under the wings rear area are useful to give a better balance.

[Pentaholocaust]

Never been much into this but it looked to me like they have almost like wire strikes on the wings..is it to help cut the pylon if they hit it?

[michaelfarm]

Perfect bullseye! Did he win? lol.

[767deltaairlines]

he tore the crap out of that pilon!! :D

[cautionthisissparta]

i was there.. it would be hilarious if cialis sponsored putting another pylon up if youve ever seen how they do it

[RockerGuitar95]

not being funny but arnt them things desighned so that the plane doesnt crash? its rubbish

[SheepJumpFish]

what do you mean, they are there so if the plane crashes they pilot will be safe, the pilot is in control of whether they crash or not, no one else

[JRBeaman]

If they gave points for hitting a pilon, this guy would get them all. Nice hit, not just a clip

like so many others. Bummer, but kool.

Glad everything is ok.

[vuetube]

They're picking the pieces off the plane. Be sure to give him some dental floss to get the bits out from between his teeth too!

[starwarsguy98]

lol

[jfl187]

fuckin ate that shit, hahaha. i bet thats such a rush

[BRYDOG1997]

The helicopter was in the way.

[PineappleDouche]

the helicopter is the first view of the pilon crash. Hes like 500 feet back from the plane... no where near him or near the pilon

[pcstudios1]

nice smilee... nice tooth... GOLDEN PILOT.... ASHOLE

[CalxP]

fail

[BubbleBoyBen]

Epic fail LOL

[fazelife]

ooooh lol so its not AS dangerous as i thought. Just acknowledged this sport and i didnt know the gates were made of that....lol whew

[Haguermeister69]

lol what'd did you think they were made of concrete?

[popwarfour]

they are made of concrete that's just the one lucky pillar

[zerogravity0123]

lol they r either hot air balloons pinned to the ground or with helium in em

[hockeyjustin4]

its just compressed air

[BluesMan9teen69]

no, the're just balloons pinned to the ground with blowing air coming from beneeth them and escaping through a hole above, it's just like those crazy paper men on gas stations with blowing wind passing through them.

[5NAKEYES]

yes true...to be precies... it a special design , where the special (very weak) fabric is torn inmiddiatly on impact ,wich is in fact a bit logical also.. Cause if was any other material or compound a pilot would simply die in a collision like that , and his plane would rip apart.. these people pull about 10 g max and speeds reaching 200+ miles an hour... mistakes at these speeds can be fatal...

[SEALTEAM7bm]

no shit idiot

[aluisious]

They should make them out of nitroglycerin just for grins.

[superstarshoes]

haha just imagine the pilots

"oh no im gonna hit a pillar! oh well, its only air-BOOM!!!!"

[Barbarian216]

Is this the same Steve Jones who also took out another pylon at the Reno races and almost crashed? Next time it won't be so lucky and he might kill himself and take out some spectators as well.

[stevethepilot]

You don't know what you're talking about... Shut the hell up. Thanks.

[Barbarian216]

Go suck your sister's pussy and do something worthwhile for a change....asshole. And yes, it is the same idiot Steve Jones who clipped the pylons at the Red Bull race....

Steve the idiot will kill himself soon, just hope he does not take anyone else in his show boating egotisic stupidity...typical white-wash trash!

[gknighted]

Does anyone know the name of the song in the background...?

[arpnlaei]

If I was a pylon I would fear him.

[Jojoairbus]

Awesome!

[Uber2DaMax]

lol owned...

[FrostbiteUK]

Awesome stuff.

[NIGHTEHAWK]

well that would be bad. your first gate and your out:(:( i feel for him.

[gknighted]

Does anyone know the name of the song in the background...?

[dan10024]

Ah well. =S

[light4angel]

Poor guy, when he hits one, he really hits one!!

[lstcougarlady]

Hmmm these dam comments never go to where they should...my LOL was at Ztop15 and NvanWendy at "impressionant" and "impressionist" LOL

[panictactics]

I don't care much for your stupid dumb 'lol' replies sir.

[lstcougarlady]

Well think you should lighten up Sir Panictactics as the LOL was a friendly LOL at two peoples trying to say the same word but both spelling it wrong and there was no dissing or rude comments made on my behalf. It just struck me as somewhat comical and I shared a chuckle. I am not a sir I am a Ms.

[ZeroFilth]

OWNEEEEEEED !

AWUehuawheuahweuh !

[gknighted]

does anyone know the name of the song in the background...?

[redcap79]

Sounds like "the Go-Betweens" from austraiia. But then after a second listen I'm not sure?

[drgatk]

never knew those "cones" could juz go*pop* like a baloon... infact i think if a baloon pop into ur plane it would get stuck on the rotor.. this didnt.. wads it made of? air?

[Redbullairrace]

They're made of rip-stop nylon. Pylon burst immediately when hit by a plane because of high internal air pressure.

[starwarsguy98]

thx

[Ztop15]

Wow, thats impressionant

[NVanWendy]

Impressionist?

[lstcougarlady]

LOL

[Flarry1]

I'd hate to be that pylon!

[tybo09]

Gotta give him credit. He didn't clip the pylon, he took it head on.

If you're going to hit the pylon, HIT THE PYLON!

Bet they're glad the pylons aren't rigid like they used to be in other air races.

[LAYLOMLA]

must have been the glasses Steve :)

[sonniethecrip]

wacky inflatable advertising droids!

[Daxter717]

wacky inflatable arm flailing tube man!..wacky inflatable arm flailing tube man...pwned.

[jayhelldee]

Not sure, but each gate is in sections zipped and velcro together,so the full thing dosnt need replacing when it takes damage.

[Redbullairrace]

The pylons are made of spinnaker rip-stop nylon.

[cjracer1000]

so is waht the guy said above u right or wrong

[viktorj85]

i believe he is right the pylon gets popped and they simply add another one on top of the buoy and inflate it

[cjracer1000]

well he said pylons are build in sections

i thought waht ur sayin

[ZX2ManDave]

What are the pylons made out of? Anyone know?

[ZX2ManDave]

Oh nevermind. I take it they are simply inflatable.

[S3ANPukekoh3]

Solid Titanium

[vitrix69]

lol

[gamr4life]

Steve Jones again?

I've looked at maybe a dozen of these Red Bull videos; saw another one in 2007 at Reno where Jones demolished another pylon. . .not clipped it with a wing but destroyed it like he did here. The middle gate "moved", huh? Lol

[blackbtty123]

I thought you were supposed go around the pylons, not into them.

[wlollpop]

lol poor plane pylon and pilot

[olivierbrewaeys]

Imagine that the pylon was made of concrete...

Lucky for him these races have severe safety conditions.

[adamberk07]

what a dumb comment

[skydivingpipo]

I assume that hitting a pylon at 200mph feels like decent boxing punch

[jonathanvdv]

LOOL :d you're right :d

[cjracer1000]

l0l XD
