what can we conclude?

2, 3 and 7 mph is perfect for a basket drive on a treadmill

405

u/sandefurd 7d ago

7 was beautiful

86

u/Snoo14212 7d ago

Agree. Cinematic.

23

u/beautiflywings 6d ago

7 is the perfect speed.

17

u/CheesyDanny 5d ago

The other variable was his technique. He got better with each attempt. 7 was the peak combination of being far enough along to get good technique while 8 was too fast to handle even with good technique.

u/Plantwork 3d ago

After 7 he needed to put a spoiler on the back to reduce the lift.

u/FourWordComment 3d ago

Did you also hear the “peeling out” wheelie sound when you played this without volume?

32

u/Libertine1187 7d ago

Also the switch from helmet to goggles at the faster speeds was key.

7 with goggles on your head instead of a helmet.

Edit: I think a lot has to do with aerodynamics

u/Pure_Expression6308 7d ago

[for that mass]

u/The-Odd-Fox 7d ago

I love that he loses the helmet just as soon as he really probably should be wearing one lmfao

76

u/Un_luckycat 7d ago

How did he even make that decision?

39

u/Zoniuc 7d ago

for research

27

u/Un_luckycat 7d ago

Yeah we really don't know enough about concussions

7

u/oliveGOT 5d ago

Towards the end I was like "this dude should really be wearing a helmet" and then it looped and he was for the slowest ones!

u/Uneek_Uzernaim 7d ago

Dude is a basket case.

u/LonePaladin 7d ago

Criticism like this just hampers progress

8

u/FluffyBootie 7d ago

Grasping to control

u/Sc0ttishLad 7d ago

So I better hold on

u/Living_Murphys_Law 6d ago

Sometimes I give myself the creeps

u/addamsson 7d ago

let's make a case study!

u/295DVRKSS 7d ago

Imagine if this guy lived above your apartment

u/Ok_Problem_4918 3d ago

its seems he already does

u/Minute_Assistance291 7d ago

I just keep thinking of all the things I never did with a treadmill when we had one.

24

u/nikditt 7d ago

Super important, so that we don't have to risk it

19

u/Dawnpath_ 7d ago

The fade transition gives it such an air of... elegance...

16

u/bartontees 7d ago

I just don't understand why I'm not losing weight

u/SightUnseen1337 7d ago

My upstairs neighbor at 4am

u/Apart_Beautiful_4846 7d ago

Clearly, not all heroes wear capes.

u/chunkybudz 7d ago

I appreciate this hero doing the science for us.

3

u/Arsegrape 7d ago

He is the hero we need in this dark hour.

u/Sensitive_Street6200 7d ago

I’m loving the “jump” energy

u/toggle88 7d ago

Why not face the opposite direction?

u/AlternativeProduct78 7d ago

Best thing on Reddit today

u/gragsmash 7d ago

Still no closer to understanding why women live longer.

u/theEMPTYlife 7d ago

Bro needs to learn forward to offset the disproportionate acceleration

3

u/scoob1924 7d ago

…I love the fact that you’re thinking about the physics..love it.

2

u/TwincessAhsokaAarmau 7d ago

And this is how your Dad broke his back.

2

u/thrilledquilt 7d ago

It's not the speed it's the acceleration that causes this

2

u/Handsome07514 7d ago

2 miles an hour so everybody sees you

u/PortiaPotty2 3d ago

Thank you for sharing those important "tests" with us, the public.

u/soulteepee 7d ago

Sometimes I miss drinking. Only sometimes.

u/YoungDiscord 7d ago

Bro invented the human hot wheels launcher

1

u/PTKryptik 7d ago

Wouldn’t be better (idk if safer) if he was on his knees and have his weight more towards middle/front end when it’s faster?

1

u/Unlikely_Mail4402 7d ago

the way he traded his helmet for goggles at 6 MPH lol

1

u/KaralDaskin 6d ago

3 and 7 were beautiful.

1

u/naunga 6d ago

This was far more educational than the dude who rubbed squid ink all over his arms.

1

u/UapMike 6d ago

His dedication to science is admirable.

1

u/walwor11 6d ago

Dude would've been fine if he started doing it backwards 

1

u/Logical-Patience-397 6d ago

I see retirement is treating you well, Bob.

1

u/LoafLegend 6d ago

Now this is quality content.

u/Kdoesntcare 6d ago

FYI if you step out of a car that's moving at 1-2 mph you will immediately eat shit as everything above your ankles keeps moving while your feet stop.

u/Responsible_Claim_91 5d ago

Woke up grumpy and somehow this has just improved my day.

1

u/Itsme_duhhh 5d ago

This should definitely be posted in r/whywomenlivelonger 🤣🤣🤣

u/5th_aether 4d ago

7 plus a slip ‘n slide at the end.

1

u/Lady-Skylarke 4d ago

You should see the one where they land in a pool 🤣

1

u/ptran90 4d ago

Why didn’t he put a soft cushion to land on by the door

1

u/Dr3uV1nce 4d ago

I was waiting for him to go through the wall

1

u/Slow_Tonight_5461 4d ago

Is this what it’s like to have health insurance lmao

u/Thorison-1080 3d ago

Some called him mad, others knew he was a genius.

u/HadesRatSoup 3d ago

7 is the perfect speed, but 9 is the funniest.

u/Tharrius 3d ago

7 mp/h is peak sports

u/DaPoole420 3d ago

How many people besides me are like "I could do 10mph..pretty sure"

u/cyberphlash 7d ago

He doesn't think that will scratch the wood floor?
