"It's a sliding scale of insanity."
"I'm in charge of disorganization."
Less than 2 minutes in... and the quotes are OFF the freaking charts!
Much love to Mike to attempting this.
why did I yell, "IT DOES" at my computer when Mike said if insanity runs in your family?
I mean, just because the VA told me I am a "danger to the public and myself" that I am a psychopath, and that I don't have enough tethering me to reality...... That doesn't mean I am insane, right? The docs never said that i was insane, just the other stuff. =)
Mike Rowe is a smart guy lol playing the role of the ‘everyday man’ meanwhile he’s off living the wild life of a man that very few get to ever get to experience. He’s done it all !
As an old man myself, that misses my younger, careless days, THIS LOOKS POSITIVITY AWESOME!!!
Just wanna say to the guys who built the trophy; wow what an amazing piece you guys built! Really that was something special. Kudos to your hard work and gorgeous trophy.
Best one I’ve ever seen 💥💥💥🙏🏻
I think that means he has to bring it back next year and compete, to keep it! Could get very fun 👍🏼👍🏼
This was filmed 9 or 10 years ago if I recall correctly - I was in this race but haven't been with this group since 2015 and I'm not even sure they race anymore at all. Gravity racing is a ton of fun, and Mike was great to work with from what I remember - he wanted to learn and have fun and share our stories.
Memory recall? 🤔 Head injuries?! 😅😅
Is there a weight handicap rule? Or is the few extra pounds your wife would like you to lose come in handy?
@@spikespa5208 For the spec class (race 1), that extra weight would come in handy. But we ran with a maximum car+driver weight limit for the open class (race 2, which I raced in)
@@jerm1386 Thanks fer the info. Puts our Flexi-Racer racing as a kid to shame
My 71-year-old kid brain is saying, "Yes, try it!" My last brain cell of sanity is casting a veto vote.
Amen! Boy if my back was still functional, I’d be all in on the cars. The trikes are a hard no for me.
Don't worry Mike, once the competition in you takes over, your commonsense will lower dramatically 😁
Agreed. 2 guys doing anything next to eachother turns into a competition.
😂
lol.. accurate.
Nuff said
From dirty jobs that I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy to doing things I can only dream of Mike knows how to live! Thanks for over a decade of entertainment!
OMG! I'm laughing so hard, especially after you said you peed a little. This by far is my favorite episode.
This looked like a whole lotta fun! Thanks for another great episode!
The further down the scale of insanity you slide, the faster you go and the more fun you have!!! Keep slidin’ Mike!!
Gravity racing is a lot of fun. Been riding motorcycles for 55+ years. We used to take our bikes way up to the top of a mountain or ridge, shut them off and race each other all the way to the bottom. Hanging off the side tucked in and passing cars at the same time, crazy fun . 😂😂
Friend and I did that on the east side of Independance Pass in Colorado on our trip out to Arkansas summer of '77, 12 miles all gravity. Still remember that ride
AWESOME!! WE LAUGHED THE WHOLE VIDEO!! GREAT BUNCH OF PEOPLE!!!
LOOKS LIKE FUN!!!! bE SAFE EVERYONE. THANK YOU MIKE!!!!
Those little cars remind me of the little rascals movie 😂
There are very few men that I wish I was.
But Mike Rowe is one of them.
This looks like so much fun!
Hey Mikey! I liked this video very much. Where else can it all go "Down Hill" from the start.
Except the excitement, mirth, mayhem, fun, laughter and yes, Mikey. Your added charisma to
action sequences. Kudos to the "MISFITS", your team and you, too Mikey... Cheers, Mate.
Haven't laughed that hard in weeks, months? Outstanding show and congratulations to those who survived.
This needs to be a series I'd totally watch this
Yoooo I’ve been looking for this for years! That’s my Dad and our old race group! Entire day was an absolute blast and Mike was a delight to be around. So many memories from this day omg
I'd love to meet Mike one day.
Same
Wish he would do meet and greets across the US.
I used to ride my skateboard going down tall parking garages. I laughed all the way through this video.
Great video, never to late to have fun.
Mike Rowe can make an entertaining story out of anything.
Always fun to watch. Better safe at home in my lift chair. GO MIKE!!
Looks like a lot of fun, great show Mike !
Cheers from Texas 🤠
This was great to watch from my recliner!!!😂😂
(Terrified of going fast downhill after a huge bike accident...ended up hitting a concrete wall to break my fall from going off a giant hill.)
I am with you👍. Feet off the and SAFE.
Been local to this all my life and never knew it was right in my backyard. Definitely going to check them out!
Awesome Mike! Looks like a riot!!
This is my favorite episode so far 😂 Mike on a big wheel who nu? Lol
Hello MISFITS!!! My god the amount of ingenuity in my neighborhood-flat Houston so we had to build our own tracks. We had engineer dads come round and help us! I was one regular staple coz the guys had more fun to me than the girls! We built ERRYTHANG we had-including soapbox racers! There was not an old lawnmower, bicycle, baby buggy LEFT in our neighborhood with wheels!!! Our moms collectively banded together and MADE us RECYCLE all those(as opposed to backyard boneyards) so our forts, treehouses, and anything else we made had material, metal, handlebars everywhere 😂then one year made a Xmas tree with all the ‘stuff’ we’d collected! Everyone came to see it! Conversations were hilarious and we always had a winner for contributions too! Brownies cakes casseroles for the best designs! Mrs browns cake was coveted-red velvet!!! Memories of hearing ‘but you’re a GIRL!’ Yup-scootch over-lemme SHOW you how it’s done!’😂😂😂🙏🏻❤️
Absolutely frightening and hilarious - kudos my man !
what a wonderful way to have fun!! thx Mike!!
New racing nickname for Mr. Mike … “Death Rowe”! 😂😂😂
Lived in and around Catonsville and never seen any of this! Would have loved to have been apart of this when I lived there.. Man I sure miss going to that old candy shop right on old Frederick rd. Moved out to Salisbury Maryland once I had a daughter so I've been out here now for the last 12 or 13 years I guess. lol
wow same here only been in salisbury for 2 years now
This put such smile on my face. I wish I could give it more than just a thumbs up. I like Mike’s videos but this one was super fun to watch.❤
I truly love these Somebody's Got To Do It videos.
So good! Your all a little touched! Love the trophy!
Another great segment from Mike "Slow" Rowe. Glad you're still in one piece.
awesome ep, mike seemed to have so much fun on this one
That was cool. I recall that big kid Big Wheel downhill racing was a staple at Travis Pastrana's house with more than a few calls for a "Waahhh-ambulance.
Mike.You a thing of beauty.Loved it.
Mike rowe for president 2024!
"Fran and Fred became *fast* friends" I see you Mike
Awesome Mr Rowe.
Good stuff Mike..you are the man..👍😎
Mike, that was awesome!!! Great video clip. As a 35 year old man I would love to try that as well.
I'm watching every episode. Mike, you haven't put out a dud yet! I don't think it's possible!
Great episode
Love your shows. It's crazy
Hey Mike keep your hands and feet inside at all times 🤣🤣 Oh and keep your feet off the breaks 🤣🤣 Way to go Mike Rowe I loved this video !!! 💯❤️😇🙏🙌👍
I love that trophy!! 😎👍
Outstanding! The roller derby was much more dangerous I think
Always entertaining. Love you Mike
Thanks for all of your stuff Mike! You seem like an old friend. Still.🙂
Man, that looks fun as heck.
I lived in a town that still has soapbox derby races. Lived about a block from the hill street they blocked off and ran on. Watched them every time.😊🏆🔥👍
Mike Rowe is a national treasure! Stay awesome
Toooo cool
Keep doin what your doin.
Love it
Cheers:):):)
Oh, man! I gotta try that before I die. Come to think of it, that might be how I'll go!!
This is one of my favourite examples of why Mike Rowe is awesome. When the video started I thought "Oh, yeah I'd do that" and it turned into a wtf at the speeds they were going.
Love it!!
You guys find the best people.
That was pretty awesome and amazing.
This looks like so much fun
How much fun is this, I am in. We have to get this going in Tn and come up challenge these guys
Now that looks like fun. woopeeeee.
Out crazied the crazies! Hilarious. 😂
Now, try racing a motorcycle!
Thought the way it went should have been - Last Place - Middle - First. Mike you did it bassackwords. Loved that "Trophy" at the end. Real Gear Head and no pun on the other show either.
You’re all crazy. Love u Mike!
That looks awesome and fun.
Thanks, man.
Love Mike Rowe, As a trainer on a coal mine one nightshift i showed an episode of dirty jobs as a pick out dangerous actions session. After we got fogged out.
Thanks mike!
Too cool!
Hey Mike I get such a charge laughing my ass off watch this clip with slow row misfit keep up all the great episodes love watching them
That looks like a lot of fun
I felt that roll!!
We have gravity sports here in Australia... I mean besides trying to save a beer from spilling at all costs.
it just goes backwards in upside down land
My kind of country. And I think I have relatives there.
Now, that’s something they didn’t think of. A cupholder for your beer
that look crazy but fun at the same time
Looks like a lot of fun
Looks like a great group of people
sweet!!! some competition
That looks like soooo much fun
From my comfortable loveseat, that looks like so much fun!
Nice. That would be fun.
That's an awesome idea
This looks so fun
Formula Atlantic is so rad, I've had three of the OEM versions of engines they used.
Kinda touched summed it all up accurately 😅
Ghezz what a way to get Gravel Rash on the Bottom parts. Lol
So as a child it's called soapbox racing, when you're older it's called gravity racing. Makes sense to me, as you age life goes faster and gravity plays havoc on the body. 😊😊😊
Welcome home to MD, Mike!
MIKE ROWE F YEA!!!!
" If it doesn't scare you, its NOT fast enough 😊👍🏻.
Never touch the brakes is the same mantra for coast racing motorcycles !!
This is SO DAMN heartwarming!~
cool as hell now!!!
Omg Tears in my eyes hilarious! Way to go Mike👍👍👍
never heard of gravity racing until now..i'm an ex dirt track driver and owner ..this looks like the most fun a person can have in an unmotorized car..maybe we can start something like this down here in Alabama since we have the mountains to race down
You have to think that Mike was having a blast doing this.
