Heh, the only reason it bounced that way was because of the spin on the launcher. Cool!

So, the driver of the truck gets a helmet, but the idiot sitting in the bed of the truck doesn't bother with one?

Doesn't the driver feel like such a wuss now?

I love how the driver laid a scratch to get up to speed.

By the way, back when Spike TV was dubbing this show into English and broadcasting it, they translated "Trivia no Izumi" as "Hey! Spring of Trivia"... not quite sure where they got the "Hey!" from....

I love all the drama and tension for a truck that's going about 63 mph... hahahah

LOL. Got enough track guys? I'm surprised he didn't run out of gas before he got it up to 100km/h.

"Heh, the only reason it bounced that way was because of the spin on the launcher. Cool!"

Probably more to do with the wind from the back of the truck, sucking the ball forward.

i don't get it. how is this "awesome"? i am staring at 70 votes in disbelief. i had to ffwd it to get to the disappointing ending, then i wished i hadn't bothered.

(i might upvote for gluonium's comment about the music, though.)

same for me. what's awesome about it? that could be expected by a 5th grader. if you're travelling with 100km/h and crashing into a car also travelling at 100km/h you two crash into one another at 200km/h. Of course this also works the other way round. it's just basic physics, nothing impressive.

even "basic" physics can be an impressive thing... I liked the way the ball fall fell straight down

I'm sorry, but isn't 100kmh only like 60 or 70 mph? did they really need an entire racetrack to get up to speed?

By MINK

MINK (http://www.videosift.com/member/MINK) — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 09:56:30 -0700

it COULD have been an impressive demo, some people don't know shit about physics so yeah it's interesting, but it was a lame video.

Physics lesson: next time somebody tells you they are a safe driver and they never go above 50, remind them that a drunk dude doing 50 in the opposite direction could really mess up their calculations.

joedirt (http://www.videosift.com/member/joedirt) — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 10:17:52 -0700

They should have shown how a ball that is dropped straight down and seemingly harmless.. is actually going 100kph forward..

I love how the driver needs a helmet, but the guy in the back somehow does not.

I think 10 balls one after the other would have been more impressive...

...the ball bounced because of spin, suction of the truck would have made it move before it hit the ground...

This video and this country are both top-shelf. Someone should set it to some rockabilly type track.
That would be epic.

eaglepowers, you missed one - on the final straight before the ball is released, the camera's watching the speedometer crawl towards 100km/h... and there's the music from 'Speed' in the background! (I'm a soundtrack geek, I spot these things.)

Technically, the choice of music is more than justified - the bus in 'Speed' only had to stay above a measly 50mph (80kph).
