I don't even want to know what this feels like :confused:

For those worried about the link, it's a video of some one riding on two wheels at high speeds around a corner in a small SUV :rollr2:

:eek:

I can think of a feeling I'd like even less. Check out the "blown piston" motorcycle clip.

Good god! Is that real? I mean, can that even be done?! I am a CG artist and with that super compressed footage it's even too hard to tell if that was faked, heh.

Regardless, I am impressed and would be afraid to even drive near a guy who does that stuff just for fun, heh.

How does one go about learning the limits when doing something like this? :confused:

"Woops, hey can I borrow your car? I just wrecked this one trying to drive on two wheels around a corner!" :rotate:

O.K. Can anyone explain how this was done? At the time of the vehicle inclined there does not seem to be anything in the road, bump, ramp, etc. nor was there much of a curve.

It's weight transfer. Same effect that makes your VX lean forward under braking, or rear back under acceleration.

In the video you can see him swerving left and right (coming away and closer to the camera) in the road to upset the balance of the vehicle. After the last swerve its ready to roll over to the right because the weight has transferred off the left.

Same reason Exploders were rolling. Tire goes, driver swerves... Really the best thing you can do in a tire failure situation is try and keep the wheel as steady forward as possible, to avoid weight transfer off the center.
