MythBusters - Big Rig Myths

[94xr7]

I want to test the myth: Can I contract e coli from licking the myth busters chick's asshole after she showers :P*

[fdesouchecom]

The pilots in formula 1 do it everytime, they gain speed behind their opponent for a couple of seconds and they pass in front of them

[Noonevrybody]

what happens if the trucj driver decides to slam the brakes...?

[kurnellampdwarf]

this isn't plausible, this is fucking confirmed.

retards.

[jkamwal2]

@kurnellampdwarf Lol ano but i'd like to know how it's even a myth. Racing drivers use the draft/slipstream all the time

[WASDsweden]

Plausible? Why not Confirmed?

[Weeman25489]

CONFIRMED !!!1

[Stillwater900]

"Following a wave of cyclist fatalities, the cast of the popular show, Mythbusters, were forced to pull the episode and make a public apology"

[tml4873]

So now even known scientific principles are "myths" that they need to test?

[dynamicimage1981]

I don't get it. They have the results. Why is this myth only plausible and not flat our confirmed?

[triketrek11]

I actually drafted a big rig in my neighborhood today on 35mph roads. I used a single speed bike and it was virtually effortless over the entire 2 miles I did it for. SO cool.

[Mitjitsu]

I CAN'T STAND THOSE ADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Theriot6592]

Why the hell is Tori wearing full body armor without the big rig?

[jah8942]

@Theriot6592 Because the first run was the control test see how fast his heart would beat while riding along in full gear at 20mph. If he didn't wear the for armor the control and did for the big rig, we couldn't know for sure if a higher heart rate was because the big rig draft was actually making it harder to ride or because the addition of armor made him heaver and less aerodynamic.

[naveenraj8d]

what about an iphone 4???

[MrChillmill91]

haaa she said ur fantastic bike ridin skills, yea right!

[TheMrFaceRape]

just one thing, yes drafting would work for a bycicle obviously.

but how can these guys prove anything? 2:47 it shows he travelled at nearly 28 miles per hour in the first run.

thats what 40 odd % difference in the control to the test experiments.

how the hell does someone with a spedo on a bike, overdo it by nearly 8 miles per hour for so long.

even the girls picked up on it, she goes to say something when he arrives and says 'yeah, yeah i kept you in the range of that *waves hand about* 20'

[Ipang69]

Mr.Bean did that!

[burnpaperintofilm]

like mythbusters? check out our mythbusters parody on our channel, who can resist a big ol booty shaking in zero gravity???

[mikmaq000]

39 people got run over by the semi.

[turtlechickenfactor]

Maybe he was very nervous the first time.

[fuzzywzhe]

HAHA - I've drafted myself. There's noway I could have maintained 40 MPH on my own, ever. The myths they are testing seem to be getting a lot less interesting.

[ImFromFlorence]

why were they testing with a mountain bike?

[ninjaman2134]

its not a myth dumb fucker

[GhostDrakaro]

Didn't think they would not mention the fact that there was no wind getting in the way of the biker with that big truck in the way of it.....energy they call it.......one myth....are these guys stupid? lets find out on another myth buster show lol. But the second top comment guys got the idea in short form.

[squidvis]

@GhostDrakaro They don't make the myths they only test them...

[kaiotie1]

the reason that happens is because the big rig is absorbing all the air resistance so the cycleiest is not being pushed back by it

[TheAllboutwin]

quite possibly the most useless thing to test out..this is common sense ! 

[pcfaulkner]

advert at the start......pause imidiatley leave comment thumbs down and goodbye

[ralphM1114]

a lot of these myths that they bust don't even to be reenacted like this because it's all just common sense. drafting behind a rig = less drag = more speed/less energy used up

[greensp4rk]

@ralphM1114 I know, right? i guess some people need practical proof rather than a statement of theoretical likelyhood

[JaaS0on]

thought they were gonna see how fast they can get up to behind the big rig, be awesome seeing someone biking at like 80mph behind a rig

[Vampiress246]

How many people hoped to see Tory fall off the bike in the background at 1:08?

xD

[ToniMessi62]

@Vampiress246 he didnt fall you asshole mother fucker

[Vampiress246]

@ToniMessi62 No, he didn't, but 25 people and myself wanted to see it, there is no need to use that language. Be calm and just enjoy Mythbusters. :)

[KRA3030]

@Vampiress246 youtube.com/watch?v=rBEmInSdsx­4

[beefchops2011]

I don't see why they really needed to even do this myth. If it worked for a car, why wouldn't it work for a bike? Heck, with a big rig there's an actual risk of the truck pulling you Off of the bike.

[TheWhiteOwl23]

@beefchops2011 because its fun to watch you dick!

[DARhumpedyhump]

@beefchops2011 because, that's assuming, and not how science works

[mormanman13]

i'm going to ride my bike cross country now lol

[bloodyrage2001]

rapidly repeat 6 to see him nomming on the water bottle

[D119heavy]

kari is soo fuckin sexy ... mmm-mmm redheads do it for me big time, especially when they're as cute as her

[squirrelcheese]

i have the same shitty laptop as grant except mine is way shittier and doesnt have an enter or a right ctrl key and it has 3 horizontal and 1 vertical permanent random colored lines that seem to be increasing in number slowly over time. woot. dell.

[OnlyJustUnknown]

Trucks can go near infinite speed at reverse: Confirmed.

Big Rigs: Over the Road is the worst game ever: Busted.

Big Rigs: Over the Road is better than Black Ops: Confirmed.

[yeahabc124]

forget the test. were can i get one of those awesome suits?

[zidan40o0]

it was obvious from the beginning , the big rig absorbs most of the resistance that air creates and when you go behind it you will face very little air resistance , if this were a myth , NASCAR wouldn't have existed by now.

[CPKnome335]

Has anyone noticed that this video has 314,159 views? (Pi)

[DuffanyHero2]

@CPKnome335 Are you an idiot? The only person who could possibly have noticed that is you.

[flirtybirdy69]

kari...i'll give yuu a big rig..

[1rewd1]

@flirtybirdy69

Whose you going to borrow?

[flirtybirdy69]

@1rewd1 that doesnt make sence? but keep on tryin twat haha

[flirtybirdy69]

@flirtybirdy69 seems like everybdy else got it except yuu stupid shit

fuk off som wer else jew

[flirtybirdy69]

@flirtybirdy69 dnt need to borrow shit

just ask yuur mommy =) she 'll give yuu details how loose she got after i tore that ass up

[ketsh123]

Hey! why cant i go with the truck trough walls and stuff.. atleast survive it..

[MrFreshman87]

) Hold your breath.

2) Copy all of these steps.

3) Go to two other video.

4) Paste it in the comments.

If you can do all of this without breathing you're a good Sniper

[uzamakirendan]

Noticeably whiter smile in 2 hours?!? BUUULLL SHIIITTT!!

[cavelight11]

thumbs up if u saw this myth on mythbusters

[hobbsshouldpvp]

wow seriously tired of going 20 miles per hour....?

[hobbsshouldpvp]

he just has way 2 much pads

[TheLobrik]

myth plausible

[joeskis]

They are anal with safety sometimes.

[ollie7400]

Can't believe they actually botherd putting this on the show....

On a flat strip of road only 2 things slow you down, friction between wheels and road and the air....

The friction from the wheels is next to nothing, so all thats left is the air, and they take that out of the equation with the truck... ofc it's easy, would be at 40mph too, if the bike isn't shit.

[DevinFilms66792]

do they climb up cliffs??? fly in a white zone! GO NEGATIVE SPEED OF LIGHT!?!?!

[conimahoni]

god another gay video.... u guys saved america ty

[unbeat71]

YOU'RE WINNER !

[colinkhaw]

the big rig is just blocking the wind from making friction with the rider and the bike making it to easily ride

[martinkaby]

how can this even be considered a myth ><

[RaINoX100]

and i thought its only in need for speed

[didwedie]

LOL BIG RIGS

[itsmeafreak]

this is so stupid, of course you will need less power to get to and keep 20 mph, because the truck lowers your wind resistance -.-

but i guess this show is for dumb

people anyway, so, hey congrats, you learned something today...

[mooooyou]

@itsmeafreak

If this show is for dumb people only, then why are you here captain obvious?

[guitardudeguy00]

@mooooyou PWNED

[DrgoFx]

@itsmeafreak Some of the things they do are more complicated, even more interesting. Such as the ...Maquiver [spl] special? I can't spell that guy's name.

[FanDeLoquenderos]

Thumbs up if you put this video for see the miths of Big Rigs PC

[JohnFortman]

Thumbs up if you decided to watch this after watching What's so awesone about Big Rigs.

[xchoib0195x]

1:23 random bike rider in the background >.< LOL

[creeper021to702]

they should have went a 100 mph

[DE4THSBLESSING]

This TV series is not bringing up the ratings , Carrie's ass is :D

[modex20]

When will they test the myth that Carrie's snapper is tight as a drum?

[mario102395]

@modex20 i already busted that myth

[NicoleandApryl000]

@modex20 snapper?? 

[MasterMark915]

I, too, am a Professional Driver. The conditions of this program were CONTROLLED. There were no variables in the show as there are in real life. People, I beg you, Please PLEASE be cautious around big rigs. Remember that we, too are someone's brother, sister, mother or father. We'd like to get home safely to our families as well. It cannot be stressed enough. Rigs don't have the maneuverability, acceleration or braking as a conventional "4 wheeler." Thanks. And drive safely.

[MontageWatcher88]

I heard this was a good game

[widjan]

they seriously did this on a mountain bike? i mean, i guess they weren't going very far or long, but still, his heart rate would've been even lower both times if he'd been on a roadie...

[ShinFuYux]

They should of done the test to see how fast he could go while he drafted behind the truck.

[lolKbgTgm6621what]

The "second team" Mythbusters is the worst shit ever. The main guys know what they're doing, these chucklefucks don't know how to set up even the most basic of experiments. And I'm sorry, but Kari isn't all THAT pretty, and utterly annoying. Bitch belongs in a Peanuts cartoon.

[Concretehead01]

@lolKbgTgm6621what Wow ! Theres no subtlety in your trolling is there !

[D119heavy]

@Concretehead01 Clearly not, anyone who thinks Kari isn't hot is either a madman, gay or trolling.

[a10miletooth]

@lolKbgTgm6621what someone needs his binky...

[a547782]

chuck norris rides a bike and makes cars draft him

[fastgixxer22]

How is aerodynamics a myth? People think that!?

[TheRaveClinic]

@fastgixxer22

probably the same people that think global warming is a hoax, lung cancer is a lie, and black people are the root of all evil.

[vamsterr]

@TheRaveClinic wrong. women are the root of all evil. there is an equation for it. so its solid :D

[sporecreatorperson]

Mythbusters, YOU'RE WINNER!

[biccyboy]

big rig myth number 1, you can go infinite speed in reverse.

[eyeinidas]

@biccyboy You can, but it messes your GPS up real bad.

[gamerguy69]

Or you know they could've not cheaped out and bought/rented a bike with a watt meter to get accurate and precise measurements of power applied to the wheels.

[freaksport]

"Mile-a-Minute" Murphy rode his bicycle in the draft of a train with 60 mp/h in 1899.

Currently the record stands at 268,831 km/h (166.9 mph).

I guess draft helps.

[Dope4skill]

wow never thought slipstream / wake is a myth.

Thought its just boring no myth stuff that everyone knows about.

Thanks for clearing that up ....

OMG.

[Restayvien]

They think physics is a myth?

[HeavyMetalSymphony]

YO PUEDO MAS CERCA.....PINCHES PUTOS!!!!

[iOsasu14]

You must be on crack if you ride that close behind a truck...

[MrSidei]

the truck minimize air resistant that why it is much easier to bike behind the truck ^^

[nickdude54]

if he was scared of the truck wouldn't th stress skew the data

[m4ssee]

I thought this was about the game, Big Rigs.

[AandFHollister22]

@m4ssee i wanna kiss your mouth

[m4ssee]

@AandFHollister22

:D

[jupstejuho]

@m4ssee - Me too! :D

[RickTheStickman2]

@m4ssee

The big rig would go 2 million miles per hour.

The bicycle would go through it.

[TomiSep]

@m4ssee me too :(

[paddytheduck]

@m4ssee

YOU'RE WINNER!

[Xytos]

@m4ssee mythbusters is a show about testing myths, dumb ass......

[m4ssee]

@Xytos

It was a joke.....dumb ass....

[Spyrious]

He must know nothing about bycicles.He started with a high gear and struggled to gain speed...

[hotblud82]

I used to do this on the freeway with my tiny car (93 Ford Escort GT) to get the draft off the semi and save on gas mileage. Works like a charm.

[redrumanc99]

Myth? are you actually serious. I mean, anyone that rides bikes will be able to tell you this..

[Kikirana]

plausible I'm sure, but definitely not recommended

[havidgekoochek]

I used to follow the bus. Inches from the bumper. Maxed out at 87 km/h(55 mph). I realise now that both the bus and me on the bicycle were speeding. I would get odd looks from the driver. That was 25 years ago.

[RoyWBeach]

my resting pulse is 132 at any givin time

[Ubojica6661]

@RoyWBeach lol

[zumiez58]

thumbs up if carrie is the only reason you watch these vids

[only257]

cool

[Janusha]

Why are they presenting this as if its rocket science.... Children know this.

[Zyurat]

----->YOU'RE WINNER <----

[SaintLiam78]

i used to drive a truck and all i have to say is Draft and Die......

[Shift4chizzle]

lol 100 is high mine is 67

[weaver2109]

@Shift4chizzle I don't think 100 is his resting pulse, it's probably what it was after warm-up before the first test.

[Shift4chizzle]

@weaver2109 o rite probably right

[Benchpress33]

the reason that u use less energy drafting is cause the object ur behind is breaking the wind sheild for u so that u dont have to use that extra energy

[Xman09241]

I'd think that drafting behind anything on a bike would lower your heart rate and you would use less energy. And same with cars.

[TranceAnime333]

lol 2:10 "like a techno trance" yay~! A shout out to trance music! :D

[philtripe]

this wasnt even a myth,just common sense.and about drafting trucks in real life ,again common sense.im not going to get to close to an 80,000 big rig.and for anyone stupid enough to draft trucks,i dont think they will change their ways because of a you tube comment.this forum is best for funny comments...for example"eating broken glass is good for you",now im pretty sure noone will wind up in the hospital saying"a youtuber told me to"

[Pistoldude2]

This video is WINNER.

[alpha819]

I'm sure someone got up to 100kmph by coasting behind a truck

[tiLuc1695]

Who you gonna call?

MythBusters :D!

[oipbhakeld]

@koolmikeify great, tell the whole world so they close the loophole, retard.

[koolmikeify]

@oipbhakeld why would you call me that fuckhole go jerkoff you little pissy fagget

[oipbhakeld]

@koolmikeify number one, im not a fuck hole, im a human being, number two, i already jerked off 10 minutes ago, and im not a pissy faggot, idk what a fagget is. a group of sticks spelled incorrectly?

[MrBrendanrules]

you rule! mythbusters FTW!

[shashoni109]

There was a small vacuum just behind the semi that was pulling both air and the biker towards the semi allowing him to coast and keep pace with the truck.

[Asky66]

this is useless, It have been proven lots of time. It was more interesting to see the effect with 2 bikers drafting one another

[515sharingan515]

the coins could still technicaly save you..

as long as you by a book with it

[shashoni109]

@515sharingan515 On what? How to spend them? XD

[TraceurStev0]

@515sharingan515

wrong video, man

[takeback181]

@515sharingan515 Wrong vid lolzorz

[TonyMontague]

As a commercial truck driver, I would like to tell people to PLEASE DON'T DRAFT whether in a car or on a bike. IF you are too close and we have to hit our brakes for any reason, it would be like you hitting a brick wall at that speed. Your life and the lives of anyone with you are at risk. Also, you need to give us a LARGE cushion in front. Cutting us off for any reason is suicidal. It takes us at LEAST a quarter mile to stop at highway speeds and nothing that we can do will stop us any faster!

[shashoni109]

@TonyMontague I hear ya. I actually get nervous when I'm anywhere near one in my car.

[policeman1313]

@TonyMontague I know! I see so many drivers on the highway cutting in front of big rigs it's ridiculous. The amount of stupidity I see on our roads is baffling.

Btw I know it's dangerous to tailgate and I don't encourage it at all, but you're contradicting yourself when you say it takes a quarter mile to stop your truck, and that hitting your truck when you brake is like hitting a brick wall (which normally is stationary).

[oipbhakeld]

@policeman1313 I was about to call him on that bullshit but i looked thru the comments first and i saw you had beaten me to it. If im traveling down the highway at 2-5 feet distance following a tractor trailer and the truck spikes his brakes on dry pavement and I maintain constant speed, at best that truck will scrub 10mph off his speed by the time i close on him, which means ill be hitting a brick wall at 5 mph. wow, i dont think id survive. i agree its very very dangerous to tailgate tho.

[daftxpunk77]

@TonyMontague Thanks for posting this comment. I hope it inspires people to drive more safely.

[Kooberz]

@TonyMontague I hear ya dood. I hate peeps who skrew with the trucks on the highway.

[Crad746]

@TonyMontague Like you said it takes you at least a quarter mile to stop, so it would not be like hitting a brick wall at that speed, just had to clear that up since we are watching Mythbusters videos. Bur I do agree with giving Tuckers the space they need people are so retarded and in a hurry on the road and unfortunately all it takes is a small mistake to get someone killed.

[gabe7773]

@TonyMontague Not trying to be an ass kisser but i always respect truck driver on the road. and i see people cut them off all the time and it makes me mad.

[MrTreebeered]

@TonyMontague thanks for u concerns :D

[TheSonicGod]

@TonyMontague My grandfather drove semis and school busses for 45 years, and you're right 100%. I don't screw with big rigs on the road. If you guys need to move, I'll give you all of the space you need. You're large and could easily crush anyone else, and have extremely limited vision.

We call you guys "Ambassadors of the Highway" for a reason. ;)

[DavidDMAN22]

@TonyMontague But this is mythbusters not a random person on the street!!!!

[DavidDMAN22]

@TonyMontague And another thing, they know what their doing thats not a real street thats an abandond runway and the driver of the truck is not going to hit the breaks he knows grant (the guy whos drafting) is behind him.
