Gravity Bike (GPV) Hwy 120 Tioga Pass 2010

[andrefromnguyen]

What tires are those? They look like FBCs.

[jrmdhmaster]

@andrefromnguyen fit faf and eastern burnout on the lead bike

[groundloop07]

1:30 Holy assholes and elbows

[Kawi22Man]

I love how the motorcycles in the beginning waved... I bet after you passed they both were like... 'wtf was that?!' lol

[BlitzRider7]

Ever try putting a windscreen on those suckers?

[JTN1Productions]

How far was that

[jrmdhmaster]

@JTN1Productions 5.4 miles of fun

[robmanueb2]

2.16 wtf did I just wave at?

[mborc5]

thats awesome man, ive been skating with g-bikes alot lately, and they can pull off some fast lines through corners! keep the videos coming mate!

[2wheelsonly2]

i see your running a FIT FAF as your front tire... good choice i run them on my bmx bike lol

[freebird4481]

What? A normal motorcycle isnt enough to kill you?

[idkyoo]

how much for this bike? i'm looking for a new hobby ;p

[jrmdhmaster]

@idkyoo anywhere from a couple of hundred to a couple thousand depending on your build. Check out my other videos, there is one that shows and describes just the bike.

[MrDVZar1]

nice ass lol 1:23

[papergh0st]

really nice view on that road. how long is it?

[jrmdhmaster]

@papergh0st the stretch in the video was 5.4 miles, this is on hwy 120 so the road itself is pretty long

[IIHeadedSnake]

Wish i was fat 2

[IPlayRunesCape2477]

ooo fit fafs

[johnsill1]

I bet these guys think they extreme, I got news for you, you ain't!

[TheFrigginAppReview]

Are G bikes legal on roads?

[MrKraide]

Ha vinte anos atrás, eu fazia isso no Pico do Jaraguá

[jrmdhmaster]

I wonder why there are no new views or comments in the last week

[jetpack1986]

1:24 mmmmm, nice! too bad it wasn't a girl though! XD

[tnumba1babyboy]

go view of his ASS

[heyyeww]

This Look really Fun. I love Going fast When Im riding with my friends :D

[NoStickerCo]

yeah for fit faf tires!

[kailshont]

and now for the walk back

[Lax1996chris]

If you hit a pebble while riding at those sharp angles, will you just eat it, or is it possible to recover from that?

[ramrodd]

is the lead bike running better bearings than your bike?

[jrmdhmaster]

@ramrodd I am the lead rider, you should watch my videos from this year, (click on my signature) I have a speedometer in the shot, I weigh more, take better lines and have a disc over my rear wheel, I think the bearings are not a factor yet but ceramics and a three spoke front wheel are my next mods..

[vclarke4433]

ALRIGHT, THE GUY UP FRONT @ 1:24 IS JUST ASKING TO BE ANALLY RAPED.

[jrmdhmaster]

@vclarke4433 sorry but no, and try to keep in mind that not everyone has just been released from prison, so adjust your attitude and keep it in your pants

[vclarke4433]

@jrmdhmaster hahaha. ok sorry:)

[RoboticusMusic]

WHAT HAPPENS IF BOTH THE WHEELS SPIN RIGHT OFF AND FALL OF THE CLIFF WOULD YOU CRASH OR GO GET THEM??!!!!

[yunginnocentable]

3:57 wat if u slipped and went dwn that mountain

[C72ICKET]

Texass sucks .

[SwagMeOutNigga]

@C72ICKET Go to San Antonio brudduh. Sum mad hills up there.

[PINKassNINJA]

sexy fucking tire yo.

FIT FAF amirite or amirite?

[chilanguin1]

those hills are the reason why im moving out houston............

[justinkellenbenzTV]

does it have breaks?

[jrmdhmaster]

@justinkellenbenzTV yes, but this year i only had to use them once on the run

[couden]

Do you have to have components built specifically for this? I wouldn't expect that standard bicycle wheels and tires could hande the kinds of centrifugal forces that they're experiencing. Looks pretty sweet!

[0348511]

dude, I wish I had roads like that. to bad I'm in Texas

[max6hits9ftw]

dude holy shit. that is breath taking and life risking all at the same time! i hope those brakes work! and i hope you dont have to stop momentarily for a piss break -_-

[CWOSONIAN]

My ONLY thing, get some day glo green skins- looks cool, I dig it. but be seen!

[SatansSpatula]

I love that stretch of road. You might look into Dupont Kryox grease (get the pure stuff from McMaster Carr the industrial supplier, about $80 per tube) for your wheel bearings. I like to push downhill speeds on my road bike, and Krytox rolls significantly better than the generic petroluem stuff that factories put into wheelsets.

[jrmdhmaster]

@SatansSpatula thanks

[JoelThedude4u]

@SatansSpatula Ceramic bearing.... thats all. they are a fortune but if you can fit them in the rim somehow, well, they where designed for the rocket engines of the space shutle. I use them on racing scooters, and the engines run 2.5 times the RPMs of a traditional engine. good stuff.

[TY1238]

the guy in front was more arodynamic

[TheNico9696]

A few questions...1. Can you get pulled over by a cop? 2. Do you continue to gain speed the whole time? or is there a point when you stop gaining speed? 3. Whats the top speed you went in this in MPH?

[jrmdhmaster]

@TheNico9696 1. yes 2. no, speed goes up and down with the varying grade of the road, 3.GPS said 68mph, but 2011 runs had a speedometer in the shot, check them out at my channel (click on my name jrmdhmaster)

[mcsnowman11]

@jrmdhmaster How do you get back up the road?

[themichaelnuckles]

get a longboard theyre better and less gay...

[jrmdhmaster]

@themichaelnuckles longboards are much slower, so no thanks. If you think motorcycle leathers are gay, sorry but at the end of the day they come off and I am who I am. You may want to consider spending less time worrying about your sexual orientation and spend more time on that longboard.

[themichaelnuckles]

@jrmdhmaster i didnt say anything about leathers... i wear leathers also its dumb not to wear them and u also get less wind drag. I also think longboarding is faster because the world record set by mischo erban is 89mph or 90.

[jrmdhmaster]

@themichaelnuckles That's damn fast but at every event I've seen the bikes are faster than the boards but i bet the luge might be faster. I sure would like to ride the road Mischo was on. I hope to some day find a hill to break 100mph but expect that a fairing may be needed to pull it off.

[themichaelnuckles]

@jrmdhmaster Yeah luge might be better because there is little to no drag. I prefer the longboard because you have a way to escape death (sliding). They are both fun as hell but longboarding is sick. Google the road mischo set his world record on... i bet you could go there one day

[TheTruthHurtsYup]

This is one of those few times in life where being fat could be advantageous.

[jvickrey901]

now he has to climb back up and do it again

[artix117]

was this in yosemite

[jrmdhmaster]

@artix117 The video was shot from a starting point maybe a half mile outside the park heading east down towards Mono lake.

[REDNECKCABLETV]

If i ever did this bullshit, id either 1: be in front or 2: have a girl ride in front of me

[GingerGamer13]

Dude I have to have one of these how much do they cost and are there brakes?

[jrmdhmaster]

@GingerGamer13 go to my home page and there is a short vid that shows what it takes to put one together.

[GingerGamer13]

@jrmdhmaster Sweet thanks!

[UpStreamDolphin]

so what if you got a flat like half way down?

[jrmdhmaster]

@UpStreamDolphin you would crash, like half way down.

[mikereiche]

Who has to walk up to get the truck?

[HexagramMan]

the fastest ive ever gone on a touring bike was 76mph my friend and i were doing some riding and found a 5 mile long steep ass grade hill. his speedometer pinged us as we went down. my freaking tears were going into my ears

[jrmdhmaster]

@HexagramMan what road was that? i need a steeper hill.

[HexagramMan]

@jrmdhmaster i mixed up my stories the 5 mile long hill was a lighter grade only 55mph the other was about 3/4 of a mile that we hit 76, sorry. ill have to look up the name on a map for you its in upstate ny

[adutton428]

If the guy in front wrecked it would be a pretty horrible recreation of the human centipede...

[chaseadcock505]

it'd be awesome to longboard that shit



[Acedogg08]

okayy.... now ride back up :)

[jpat8920]

the guy in front must weigh more..lol

[jrmdhmaster]

@jpat8920 I weigh more, have more pressure in my tires, a rear wheel disc, disc breaks, and my lines were more aggressive.

[Thatdudeoverthere128]

@jpat8920 no he didnt brake

[bismillahmashallah]

what happens if theres a rock on the road?

[BuclkeNutz]

That was great! Thanks for the ride. I wasn't expecting bicycle tries to have that high of a rating

[TheBgbrush]

1:25...oh yea thats deff the view i wanted to see. lol

[Rayvittum]

this race was done on a closed course by professionals. wait... car

[virgoptrex]

1:22 flying a*&!

[BoettgerL858]

Alright lets walk back up and do it again

[kirbienstien]

can you get a speeding ticket on a bike?

[jrmdhmaster]

@kirbienstien only if you're speeding

[tytogononttt]

i love camping there

[jrmdhmaster]

Yes, that's what is on the camera bike. the faster bike is running on Burnout tires made by Eastern Bikes, they are 20"/2.1" and take up to 100 psi..

[NeKoShinn666]

If any one was wondering hes running a Fit FAF tire. its a 20 Inch Bmx tire 2.25 and is Damn Fat. Its about 22~26 bucks.

[Bebo733733]

Got a nice ass

[jrmdhmaster]

i wouldn't call it comfortable, but maybe not as bad as you think.

[joetshipamba]

Is riding that thing comfortable.. It looks like the guys penis is on the seat.

[MrHoopler]

i could almost feel the wind. Nice camera quality, As a suggestion, could you get one of those small Garmin GPS trex in view of the camera?

[lwclassbrats69]

Nice man, we used to do this with bmx bike frames, and skate board decks as seats, I have never hit a road like that though.

[illjedi]

this video woulda been much better if u had a girl in a thong on the bike in front. still, this looks fun tho

[porknbeans2013]

that must be a bitch to ride back up

[IDontWantYourCereal]

@porknbeans2013 they dont ride back up lol

[porknbeans2013]

@IDontWantYourCereal Chuck Norris could ride back up it

[ilikeledzeppelin]

you guys ever ride two up?

[James41231]

fits suck I know i have those tires XD

[bobomomo23]

theyre longboards for people who bike

[MasondBarnard]

POV!

[bigmeat1196]

wheres the side car?..ya know....for ur balls!! 

[larrybiggs1]

LOL 1:23

[pigjenkins10]

60 on a bike!!!!!!

[jtjjbannie]

That sure beats an 8 second bull ride by a long shot!

It sucks living here in Illinois. The bigist hill we have is the one my dog left in the back yard!

[jrmdhmaster]

I'm not sure if anyone actually makes gravity bikes but you can get the parts and build one your self for just a few hundred dollars or less if you're handy with a welder. See my video "my gravity bike" to see what went into mine.

[MsPurplesquid]

How much do gravity bikes go for just a basic cheap one?

[jrmdhmaster]

100 psi slicks 20" called Burnout

[stfuClayton]

@jrmdhmaster Eastern?

[jrmdhmaster]

check out my other videos, I like another similar angle that includes the speedometer

[MrBensmith8302]

Pretty Wicked! You must be using special tires? I did this once on a mountain bike and the tires got really tall. I got pretty scared when the tires looked they where coming off the wheels.

[Narutofan1000k]

I love the camera angle chosen, you definitely get that sense of speed

[jrmdhmaster]

from 9300ft down to 7400 feet on the run almost 2000!

[937derwood]

whats the elevation drop?

[BTNHarmony18]

Real life TRON!

[EnvyInc]

Lead rider dusted you, bigtime.

[jrmdhmaster]

@EnvyInc I am the lead rider.

[undertake782]

@jrmdhmaster Dude you have a big butt.

[porknbeans2013]

@jrmdhmaster sorry, your butt isn't exactly what I thought I was going to be watching this whole video

[jrmdhmaster]

I'm running burnout slick tires

[joacobmx95]

fit tires?

[kentoiiLngNmn]

1:24 .. much more nice if you doing planking .. ^_^

[idiot1321]

1:25 Nice Ass!

[patinoina1]

you lost your friend. :(

[adugodse]

2:15 it's surprising that the motorcyclist waved at you..

These gravity bikes seem to be a lot of fun to control.

[robertwillmer]

How do you get back up the hill to your truck?

[Thekriss9805]

1:24 epic moment :D

[jrmdhmaster]

go to jrmdhmaster and there is a short vid of just the bike, no motor.

[DaemondSlayerSHMD]

sorry, i have not heard of this kind of bike, does it have a motor? :P

[ganggreen483]

dude

ass in face bad thumbs down

[sincyclespdx]

Where did you get that speed from?Tioga Pass ain't that steep at all, bombed it last month felt like low fifty tops. Still would be a fun place to have an outlaw race plenty of passing room on both sides of the cars, and so beautiful.

[TheBigDogHouse]

Looks fun vid got kinda boring after the lead bike got ahead wanna see a rider in action. Thanks for sharing though.

[rideyourbmx123]

are those the fit faf tires holy shit pause at 0:06

[panikattak14]

I love how the motorcyclists wave and then go "Wait...the hell was that?"

[CommanderKairu]

@panikattak14 I would wave. :P Doesn't matter if it doesn't have an engine, at the speeds they are probably going, and the roads they are doing it on they can get hurt a lot quicker than me. Respect. ;)

[jrmdhmaster]

I'm pretty sure that all the laws that apply to bicycles apply to GPVs, so some highways are legal others are not.

[ZachD4]

I'm also planning on building one and i was wondering if it is legal to ride these on highways?

[TheRenegaderacer]

This is where I want to go after I finish my fairing... Looks like you guys were hauling ass down that mountain. I didn't have a speedometer for my old bike (but got pulled over on it doing 63 mph) and my new bike has only gone 55 (still adjusting it) but feels much faster than my first, and the fairing should only make it better.

That was a sweet ride though, good quality video too! Most Grav Bike videos are kinda crappy.

[studiobikecafe]

can you guys send me some pics of the bikes, Im planning on building one.

thanks,

That looks like a super sweet ride!

[jrmdhmaster]

@studiobikecafe gpv 1bGPV 1.jpg it's an upside down dirt jump frame
