My lord. Whoever planned that is a fucking genius.
Red Bull, if anything has amazing marketing teams.
And engineering teams.
The alt-right is nothing without their marketing.
What
Sorry, did you sleep through any class that covered 1925-45 global events? 🫣
Is there anything more specific to connect Red Bull and alt-right? I’m not exactly a fan of Red Bull, but I wonder if there’s any real reason to avoid them
Edit: I see in another comment
Servus TV is a TV station based in Wals-Siezenheim in the Austrian state of Salzburg and owned by Red Bull Media House GmbH, a subsidiary of Red Bull GmbH … It is politically aligned with the far right.
which is not a 100% convincing of what company as a whole is, but indeed is not good
At the end, he did the thing Jamie Hyneman wasn’t allowed to do
I didn’t notice his motion relative to the background the first time and rewatching it with this in mind makes the video even cooler.
Introduction to physics professors everywhere are salivating.
In Poland they only get BMX once per year if good harvest.
It’s a trip how he just stops dead when he jumps off the train, since his forward and backwards motion cancel each other out.
It’s like watching a level of Motocross Maniacs
Seldom has the British term “madlad” been more appropriate in both the colloquial and literal sense 😆😮
I wonder how much that cost to set up
The Prada cars probably cost a fortune, they could have saved money by using a cheaper brand.

GOOD point
(Been years. Love me some Ken M.)
Wife makes Prada with salt and pepper for extra flavor.
That was dope.
I know I’m a moron but isn’t this just purely visual? Like wouldn’t this be the same as doing it on the ground? Still looks really cool regardless but as far as degree of difficulty isn’t this just pretty much as hard as doing it anywhere else? I know this is extraordinarily difficult stuff anyways and it’s still impressive, I just don’t really get the point of the train other than just kinda looking neat cause of the frame of reference.
There’s couple extra factors
Wind - he’s sometimes moving even backwards on relation to the earth. That means you’ll feel the air resistance completely messing with your brain
The platforms - it’s extremely narrow, just 2m wide or something. He has to land the tricks very accurately to not get thrown off the train
The fucking train - there’s a non-zero chance in this to get driven over by a train
It’s basically the same as doing it on the ground, except here you get hit by a train if you mess up.
I’d say a bit more difficult, dude is managing his exact speed to stay in frame.
Yes, look again, it’s a commercial.
For Prada.
John Deere more like!
edit Oh shit, I never saw that before… And conti tyres, too
I think it would be a bit disorienting for the rider.
Yeah and what happens if he doesn’t land a trick?
Yep, Redbull hire and film a lot of these stunt for commercial. Also a big sponsor for extreme sport.
I don’t think this is even the craziest stuff he’s done. Both brothers are crazy.
Beautiful!
California Games.
Red bull is an evil company. Fuck their PR stunts.
At least 20 athletes sponsored by Red Bull or taking part in Red Bull events have died in training; while participating in their sport; or in circumstances related to their sport. The youngest was Toriano Wilson, a 14-year-old boy who was hit by another rider during a Red Bull motorcycle event in 2008.

Wait. You mean a cheap, hype-driven stimulant product with unregulated “proprietary” and/or intentionally obtuse compounds claiming to grant superpowers, et al, and wildly marketed as a powerful refreshment only the most heroic mortals could be capable of enjoying casually… is tied to white supremacism?

Extreme sports do kill people, I guess that’s part of the appeal for people who are into that kind of thing.
That was quite the John Deere commercial.
That’s a Fendt. Source: Farming Simulator enjoyer
