Bob Burnquist and some moderately insane R22 flying

[JCM5]

Your thoughts? The whole video is cool, but it gets relevant, and interesting, around the 6:30 mark. I wonder why they covered the tail number.....

Couldn't pay me to get in an R22 and do that!

[TomPPL]

All I'm seeing is a black box, can anyone post the direct link for me please..?

[Flying Pig]

Funny.... the scenes that show the 500 have the R22 engine noise. Oooops.

D+ for editing

It's funny; I've never seen a really experienced talented pilot do something so foolish....

 

Enough said.

[rotornut67]

CRAZY...

[Joe_P148]

Was waiting for him to overshoot the ramp and fly into the rotor system. Very cool video all the same. Thanks for sharing.

Good stuff with the 500, poor judgement shown with the R22 pilot....I know a few of those "types"..

[gary-mike]

Big wallet+good insurance+Big Balls-good judgement=cool video

[adam32]

Good camera trickery and sped up the speed...the Robbie Ranger had plenty of room to do what he did...

Who's Bob Burnquist?

[Spike]

Pro skateboarder, Bob Burnquist, teaches us, when you fall down, you should get back up and try again. Even when you fall and think your hurt, or finished, you get back up, brush yourself off and try again. In the end, success will win over failure and for some, it happens BIG……. Like Bob……

 

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

–Theodore Roosevelt

 

Oh, and the helicopter stuff, I’m not a critic……………

Good stuff spike. That's the critic in me !

[Flying Pig]

I didnt even know they still had pro skateboarders

[rollthbns]

The 500 is very familiar. I wonder why they blacked out the tail number, or tried to. Might be able to identify the 22 for you shortly.............

[WolftalonID]

Lol I know that R22 pilot. He has thousands and thousands of hours in those things. His abilities far exceed the difficulty of what he did there.

[rotormandan]

Even if he has the experience, skill, and went slower then the video showed, the problem for me is doing stuff like that with video cameras around. You never know when you'll end up on you tube and who'll happwn to see it.

I suppose someone probably said something similar about Evel Knievel!

We just throwing out N numbers now? Hope not. To be more specific, check out next level air.

Www.flynextlevel.com. Might give you a clue to the birds in the film, as well as the background of the pilot.

[rollthbns]

Here is a slight variation on the theme in the form of a question;

 

Why would anyone care if the tail numbers are visible? "Ending up on youtube" or some other medium is exactly what was planned. People usually don't go to the trouble of editing video so they can watch it themselves.

 

If what you are doing is legal and ethical, then who cares who knows its you? People with integrity will be the same with or without cameras. Not a judgement, just an observation.

Agreed, and that was pretty darn cool.
