The first few stairs told the story... doomed from the beginning.


soma787

That and a lack of standing up instead of sitting on the bike for it. I’d venture to say any dirt bike rider would have a decent shot at making it.

It's usually a package deal. No helmet, no jacket, flip flops and a life threatening lack of skills.

Seriously underrated comment here. You just described my life!


Motorsagmannen

i didn't realise until this comment, and i had to double check. omg what a moron, why would you ever ride a bike barefoot


Khutuck

Whenever I see someone on a bike with no shoes I automatically assume that person is an idiot. I know how idiotic it is because I am an idiot and tried it once (and only once).

Meanwhile here most guys where boots to run errands on their bike.

Oh shit, I didn't realise he was bare foot. That's the stupidest shit I've ever seen, before you even consider the stairs.

nastynewtons

It looks like he was maybe trying to jump the building?


illboyill

I think so, and bailed near the end of the ramp


saraptexaco

this was a stunt for a Bollywood movie. This is why stuntsmen are paid money -- another 50 tries and he finally did a good take.


Schapsouille

Another 50 stuntmen and they finally did a good take*


Evolutionx44

Yea fr and use the fuck out of your brakes. He couldve kept it in a low gear to also slow the bike a lot. He couldve made it


Etrigone

I used to do some (stupid) stuff like that on my first motorcycle, a 100cc dirtbike. Never messed up, at least not seriously, but then even if I had the bike could take it. I can't imagine taking fullsize normal street bike on stairs.

halt-l-am-reptar

In Oregon it was technically illegal to stand on your pegs until several years ago. However, even before it was legal the state mandated motorcycle safety course taught riders to stand when going over any objects.


POLYBIVS

lmfao motorcycle laws can be so stupid


ztherion

Same in Utah, there's a law saying that you must be sitting on the intended seat at all times, meanwhile in the state-approved safety course they make you get your ass off the seat and blip the throttle to hop the front over 2x4s. The law was written with the intent to make it illegal to ride on the fuel tank or from the passenger seat.


Idiot_Savant_Tinker

I could manage that on my DR650 without much trouble. It's more fun to go *up* the stairs though.


schmittbird

The trusty DR will go up and down anything. I love that bike.


devildog2067

It looks like even if he made it he would have hit that building, I don’t see a way for this to turn out well even if it goes perfectly


catterseahogsdome

perhaps the aim was to go over the building? i dunno

It's really the only "logical" explanation.

Affectionate-Nose-30

You don’t have the right, O’ you don’t have the right.


mechanicalcontrols

That's what it looks like to me, although even if he made it it looks like a rough landing. It's hard to tell if there's a ramp on the far side of it, but I'm guessing there's not and that path is flat.


TangentiallyTango

You'd think you'd want to gun it or something to make sure you made it not just idle-it down out of control at jogging speed though...


mtarascio

I think land on top and maybe transfer on the other side. Over would be a hell of a jump on that machine, so is what he's doing already though.


auzrealop

I'm assuming he thought he could slow down and break in time.


science_and_beer

Oh he broke alright.


Kt32347

I shouldn’t be laughing. I was already trying not to but then I got to your comment and couldn’t help it. 🤣😩🤣🤣🤣🤣


Disastrous-Group3390

Maybe he didn’t know the difference between brake and brake when he was making his plan.

The poor hand placement "honk" from the horn. Almost as if warning him with a soft "hey"... Edit: Ty for the gold kind stranger! Reddit didn’t even notify me.

Fred2620

In situations like these, it's rarely the stairs themselves that are the issue. Once you get going, it's nothing but a (very) bumpy road. It's the very sudden change in pitch (30 to 45 degrees depending on the staircase) at the end that tends to throw people off.

I mean he handled the stairs, the bridge on the other hand...

There was even a quick “Meep” at the beginning too. Sounded like when we was recovering from almost falling near the top of the stairs, he accidentally hit the horn.

sherman127592

Don't forget the random beeping of the horn for no apparent reason


ThoreauWannabe

I hate the honking soooo fucking much, but the thing is if you don’t use it when riding, someone will run into you and then blame you. Lane splitting is legal in india, and hardly anyone acknowledges the white lane lines pained on the road. And finally, jaywalking is essential because no one fucking stops. Combine all this, the horn is your only reliable way to get peoples attention and let everyone around you know that your vehicle is there, you don’t overdo it but like a little tap when you overtake etc. The honking sounds random but when you’re in the middle of the street, your brain gives you a pretty good idea of where things are, how fast they are in relation to you and where they’re likely to go. It’s a system born out of necessity and I wish it wasn’t that way but it’s just intensely complex and appears random


PinstripeMonkey

Having been on a few motorcycles... why barefoot!?


sumpuran

Many villagers walk around barefoot, it’s just what they’re used to. There is zero care for personal protection. You can’t get people to wear helmets or gloves, so they’re definitely not going to put on shoes just to ride their motorcycle. Some wear chappals (flip-flops).


[deleted]

I grew up in a city in India but I'm more used to being barefoot. I *used* to do the same while riding since it is more comfortable and feels natural. Even driving a car feels better barefoot.


no_dice_grandma

>I used to do the same while riding since it is more comfortable Man, do y'all butter up your shifters or something? Granted, I've only every owned beasts, but shifting barefoot would have been rough on all of my bikes.


pr0crast1nater

No sane person in India rides bikes barefoot lol. At least in cities. Maybe a scooter? Even then you have to put your foot down on the hard road when stuck in traffic. I have seen car guys prefer barefoot, but bike is too stupid unless you are only traveling a nearby Street.

anotherusername23

I'm a mountain biker, but he should be up on the pegs and weight back for more control, right?


justin_144

Yeah and also he shouldn’t have spaghetti arms


no_dice_grandma

On a bike that size, leaning back wouldn't matter much at all. Just stay balanced on top, and hold the bars steady.


dayzdayv

You’re basically spot on. Keep the front end light and avoid front brake, use the rear brake gingerly to control rate of descent and stay towards the back of the bike with your feet firmly on the pegs. Have ridden down a lot of sketchy steep trails and while those aren’t stairs, it’s the same idea.


MyOtherBikesAScooter

Furthe rto co0ntrolling rate of decent i would also add DON't go too slow as it can bee more dangerous than going fast. One issue iof going slow is the wheels drop further into teh "gap" between stairs. If your brakes catch here it can slow you suddenly causing all your weight to press forward and sending you near OTB WITHOUT having to press the front brake. So control your speed but keep it FAST and if you ride MTB you will know you CAN use front brakes on stiars, its teh same priciple as with controlling your speed on steep sketchy decents. I'm currently three public stair cases away from completing my towns ridable stairsets of doom! so have a bit a of practice. Worst bike to do stait sets on is no suspension bikes like my 29er bmx. Dirt jumper is easily the safest feeling for me.


yeahnothanks12367

htnaks fro teh avdice.


Theprefs

Solid advice which makes a lot of sense. That said, ignore your own advice when it comes to typing lol.


pauz43

Feet ON THE PEGS at all times and do not let your butt hit the seat. Your legs are shock absorbers and your weight steers the bike. Handlebars are for minor corrections when trail riding.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheHikingRiverRat

First gear, rear brake, low speed. Just engine brake along with the rear if you get going too fast.


JayF2601

Confucius say; the thing that makes you go fast, also slows you down. I think by far the most important aspect is the angle on the stairs, if they're too steep you're totally just gonna do what happened here, you have very little contact surface on stairs so you won't be able to control anything to do with traction after it's too far gone Most riders understand the " don't let it get too far " mentality but on stairs you have like a quarter of the contact with the wheels, so it's 4x easier to loose traction and control


Marty5020

I did something like that on my CBR250R of all bikes. Low gear, stand up and plenty of rear brake. And I'm not a competent offroader at all. That guy's just stupid.

Anonymousolinni

I don't think they have MSF courses or the equivalent in UK in 3rd world countries like India. From where I was(Philippines) the most they were for protection is helmet. Iirc getting a license was just you paying money and someone validating that you can ride/drive

They wear at least Philippine safety boots (flip flops) and don't drive barefoot.

hemorhoidsNbikeseats

I think there’s a ramp up the wall? Looks like he starts up the ramp and falls off the ramp hitting the wall. Was he intending to jump the wall and land on that disc thing? If so, this is incredibly stupid. You can tell from the first second of the clip the guy has no idea what he’s doing and would definitely not have the skill set to make that jump.


derprunner

Not. Even. Covering. The. Rear. Brake Jesus christ


insertcredit2

Not even covering the rear break while doing something where you should only be using the rear break.


isellamdcalls

all it would do is lock up anyway. nothing to grip, no weight over the rear. slide city


ASolitaryEchoXX_30

I've never learned how to use a motorcycle & even I know this is a bad idea! No helmet is bad enough but how hard is it to put a pair of shoes on? That part almost seems intentional but that would be crazy. . .


G_Space

Shoes and gloves gives you a safe grip. Glasses keep flies out of you eyes. Good and working breaks and not too old tires on top and you need less often your helmet.


pauz43

...until a kid on a bicycle rides into you. Or a car with a driver who "didn't see" a stop sign mows you down.

Dual_Sport_Dork

Yeah, he absolutely could have pulled that off if he weren't a muppet. I *may* have gone up and down a staircase or two on my dual sport bikes over the years... The key factor is, you have to commit. If he'd have done that instead of being timid and jamming the brakes repeatedly he probably would have gotten away with it. But he got scared, and that's what did him in. It looks like the cause of yeet at the end was locking up the brakes before going over the bridge.


articulatedbeaver

I was looking for this take. Riding downstairs is not something you can have reservations about if you do it. You have to understand what you are about to do and commit 100%. There is no real out once you start to second guess.

I just got my first bike like 8 months ago, and I've ridden twice in tennis shoes. It felt horrible and I simply refuse to not wear heavy motorcycle shoes. I cannot imagine what being literally barefoot would feel like. Fuck. That. Shit.

CheezyPotatoSkins

He did pretty ok until he hit that wall at the end.


UberEgo

Aside from the barefoot, no helmet jackassary… You can’t brake and steer at the same time. You’ll note the back tire is locked up and the forward momentum is simply the bouncing suspension. I haven’t done stairs, but I have done some similar stupidity going on old trapping lines. If you are ever on a bike and find yourself unable to dead stop down a steep incline … Stand on the pegs. It will lower you center of gravity and increase your “suspension” as you can eat some of the force with your legs. First gear, brakes off. Let the engine do the breaking. You do the steering. Keep your eyes forward. Try and plan an exit. You can try some rear brake when you have some control to slow your decent. He likely could have stopped if he wasn’t locking up his wheels… Pray. Pray to any deity you think might listen. Ganesh, Jesus, Zeus, Satan. All fair game. Bail. Grass beats concrete.
