Ok, that's kinda the shit.

[–]ProjectZeta 77 points78 points ago

That's what I thought. "Oh, cool motorcycle trick. Oh, wait, fuck, that's totally awesome."

[–]Catsfosho 30 points31 points ago

As cheesy as it seems, this trick is actually called the Captain Morgan. I've seen it performed at many freestyle MX shows and it is pretty awesome

[–]bubajofe 14 points15 points ago

Sounds like Captain Morgan was one badass motherfucker to think of that trick.

[–]Paultimate79 8 points9 points ago

He was drunk.

[–]idrink211 -5 points-4 points ago

It's the pose the pirate makes on the label of Captain Morgan rum.

[–]thecoffee 0 points1 point ago

Oh we know.

[–]idrink211 0 points1 point ago

Um, it seemed like the guy who I was replying to didn't know.

[–]thecoffee -2 points-1 points ago

No, they immediately got it and made their own joke. Quit being so offended.

[–]idrink211 0 points1 point ago

Go drink some coffee and get off my ass.

[–]Hiphoppington 2 points3 points ago

Stahp

[–]thecoffee -3 points-2 points ago

Jesus, I was just trying to be nice and point out that the guy got the joke. You are a dumbass and an asshole.

[–]a_small_thump 12 points13 points ago

most freestyle motocross is. As an avid fan, I gotta say this one is pretty unique--it's really hard to pull that trick so early into the air when the bike is still front-end high. Wish I knew who the rider was, because that's some clean style.

[–]teamherosquad 5 points6 points ago

i think the video clip said nick dunn

[–]jeremyscurto -1 points0 points ago

pretty sure its levi sherwood, i see him do them the most.

[–]a_small_thump 0 points1 point ago

Nope, he rides ktm.

[–]jeremyscurto 3 points4 points ago

Very true, my bad. I found the video from glen helen X fighters but I cant make out what the commentator said. could it have been Nick Dunne? He rides a YZ and was there.

[–]a_small_thump 1 point2 points ago

Yup, it was Nick Dunne. Thanks for the source.

[–]jeremyscurto 1 point2 points ago

no problem!

[–]logintodothat -3 points-2 points ago

Well, literally..

[–]snowlion13 26 points27 points ago

i wanna see the landing

[–]KRSFive 21 points22 points ago

Holy shit at that body variale(sp?). That was nasty.

[–]exus 8 points9 points ago

*varial

Though your spelling sounds especially bad ass with a foreign accent flair. Vari-all-ay!

[–]Saicotic 0 points1 point ago

Ay, we're-a Italiano!

[–]thenplayon 3 points4 points ago

Strange it wasn't higher up too, the backflips are cool, but some of those other tricks look much more risky and technical.

[–]skyman724 10 points11 points ago

THAT WAS A STEP-UP?

Well fuck..............fuck me once, I'm untalented; fuck me twice, now I can't sit without shitting.

[–]zbrinz 4 points5 points ago

that guy that counts out the top five seems like a mega douche.

[–]shinseiromeo 1 point2 points ago

Thank you for the video. Amazing tricks and worst host of the year, I want to cut his fingers off. =(

[–]worldalpha_com -1 points0 points ago

Me too. Who says he didn't wipe out horribly. Probably not. You never know.

[–]snowlion13 0 points1 point ago

i dunno where but someone just posted the video, surprisingly he landed it, it was uphill so he was not very high in the air when he landed, its an optical illusion

[–]Xaxxon 10 points11 points ago

I'd venture to say most people aren't up very high when they land :)

[–]brandinb 2 points3 points ago

He was very high up in the air. It was a step up jump. Like jumping up to the top of a 6 story building (60ft). Is that not high enough?

[–]snowlion13 2 points3 points ago

it was a high hill, my point is, the point in the air where he starts to fall is not as far from the ground as where he started, which is what the gif leads you to believe because you dont see the hill.

that would be like getting flung 6 stories into the air and then the gif cuts out, leaving out the fact you landed into a 6 story window, not landing 6 stories to the ground

[–]brandinb 0 points1 point ago

Ok I see your point.

[–]Playdoh12 11 points12 points ago

He had a lot of captain in him

[–]DalekCaek 4 points5 points ago

That's some Kamen Rider shit right there.

[–]xsnwbrderx 4 points5 points ago

He's got a little Captain in him!

[–]Dancing_monkey -1 points0 points ago

You beat me to it. Also several others but I'm replying to you cuz I saw you first.

[–]ddam 6 points7 points ago

I demand a video link for the lazy!

[–]Fat_Crossing_Guard 5 points6 points ago

[–]andrewblackwe 5 points6 points ago

For the lazy: @ 0:20

[–]Chris153 5 points6 points ago

[–]SchunderDownUnder 1 point2 points ago

That should go to these guys:

captainmorgan@consumer-care.net

I'm sure they'd love you for it

[–]Chris153 0 points1 point ago

[–]SchunderDownUnder 0 points1 point ago

Hahaha, good work... Especially with the potential genital-related joke

[–]Chris153 0 points1 point ago

It's a good go-to for making my girlfriend laugh.
"How would you like a little captain in you?"
"The Captain requests permission to board your vessel"
"How bout we play a little Moby Dick tonight? Thar she blows!"

[–]Buckwhal 9 points10 points ago

We all need "an hero".

[–]BritishBatman 0 points1 point ago

My brain won't let me say this without saying it like "an 'ero"

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]SooMuchAnger 7 points8 points ago

No, he got it correct. It's "an hero."

Google it...

[–]zombiesaregay 1 point2 points ago

Really? I thought an was only with vowels. Learn something new everyday. It still sounds awkward to say.

Edit. I have now googled it. He is an hero

[–]Mack488 5 points6 points ago

You couldn't give me a billion dollars to try that.

[–]srx600guy 8 points9 points ago

I would try it for a billion dollars. If i fuck up I'm covered for medical and if I die my family's rich! also you get to die in an awesome way

[–]MBSquared 9 points10 points ago

"How'd your Grandma die?"

"She flipped her vett."

[–]SooMuchAnger 2 points3 points ago

I'd do it for $100k plus any potential medical expenses, or any long term care needs that are a direct result of the stunt.

[–]Meebert 0 points1 point ago

http://youtu.be/WfrLodstCwU

I'm pretty sure this is what would happen if you tried this...

[–]nitefang -2 points-1 points ago

I'd do it for free, I have health insurance that will cover it. So long as I don't have to pay for any equipment I break. It looks like fun.

[–]KRSFive 0 points1 point ago

You need to watch the video and check out #2.

[–]JamesDarko 2 points3 points ago

That is fucking baaaad aaaaassssss!

[–]iwouldntifiwereyou 2 points3 points ago

Since the gif doesn't show the landing I'll assume he flies on forever

[–]pyroclastic_viking 0 points1 point ago

No matter how hard you try, you will never be this awesome

[–]MILKYCAT 0 points1 point ago

at least thats not getting old

[–]loonsun -1 points0 points ago

I need a hero!!! I'm holding our for a hero till the end of the night!

[–]rndragon77 0 points1 point ago

Everyone need a little captain in em!

[–]shredtasticman 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of hot rod...

[–]patefoisgras 0 points1 point ago

How the fuck is he going to land in one piece?

[–]down_on_baker_stree 0 points1 point ago

Who says he's going to land?

[–]OBrien 1 point2 points ago

On the Moon

[–]epicaddict 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one who wants to know if he landed it?

[–]Finglonger76 1 point2 points ago

Because of the title I had the "I Need A Hero" song from Flashdance in my head. I makes this epic.

[–]hand-to-face 0 points1 point ago

Haha this is Nick Dunn, I'm friends with him and his brother, built a foam pit in their back yard in grade school. Has mad style.

[–]Marilink 0 points1 point ago

Note: He died on the way back to his home planet.

[–]mehatch 1 point2 points ago

Captain Morgan product placement dept. is really on their game.

[–]DevsiK 0 points1 point ago

Was this from the Big E?

[–]TopsBloobie 0 points1 point ago

[–]PocketAcesFTW 0 points1 point ago

[–]The_Bangs 0 points1 point ago

The hero that motocross deserves.

[–]thebigmacho 0 points1 point ago

Actually, it'd be cool if it was night and he riding in the sky and the Moon just behind him....Off to "moon"...!

[–]GusStotts 0 points1 point ago

He's not the hero they need, but the hero they deserve.

[–]InsertUsrnameHere 0 points1 point ago
