I used to work for a guy who owned a big horse farm and he had a contractor doing some concrete work with lots of hills & paths and stuff in front of his deluxe horse barn. This guy had a tiny Bobcat skid-steer loader and he would do the "balance on two wheels" thing to turn around in tight quarters. He was so awesome with that thing that he would balance on two wheels and have conversations with his workers. Everyone would just stop working and watch the guy work. He was impressive. Just like this hillbilly dude here!
Wow. 4 yrs ago. Still amazed now. As a carpenter I never really knew how hard it was to run equipment. Now that I have tried rubber tire backhoe, I have mad respect for all operators
I'll be honest, I have been running a skidder for about 15yrs, but I still can't do anything like this. this guy has talent and his balance on his machine is wicked.
Half load ya bucket with some ballast before you try, You can control the height of your backs wheels with ballast as counter weight at first. Once you got that down start using the trust to get on the 2 wheels, I worked in a foundry for 6 years as my first job had to get pretty good with a bobcat the metal stores was tiny, I remember my first day being told "Forget everything the instructor said" Moving live loads of molten metal with a busted old forklift was also a lot of fun at times
What a legend! When somebody can make that look so easy when I know how hard it actually is.....they say it takes 10,000 hours to be the best in your field at something and he did it in 7000. Champion!
Going to show this to my dad! He bought his first Bobcat in 1970, 600 series, when they were belt drive. Has had many since. Always thought he was tops! His dude is phenomenal !! Kudos!
Not surprised you like it, he uses a bobcat in ways it wasn't intended to be used and you use shotguns I mean projectile accelerator in ways that they weren't intended to be used but both of you do entertaining and impressive work.
I have seen a lot of "machinery rodeo riders" in my day. Many are just reckless and taking chances with someone else's machine. His guy however has a lot of finesse, skills, and time on this machine! Awesome job! Thanks for sharing!! Love to see him in person doing these moves!
Love the idea , I have built Supercross tracks and used to drive up and over the jumps at intermission at races . You have taken it to the next level mate ! I have been an owner operator for 30 yrs my first 743 was awesome for wheelies and stunts as is my S130 . Australia has really strict laws around operation of skid steer loaders these days so we use disgression when mucking around . Love the setup be safe .
Just watched this again. Had to show it to my elderly parents after watching a Dave Sparks vid where Blacksheep got a mention for helping plow snow in San Bernardino County.
It's been years since I drove a Bobcat, but I remember something that is fun to watch is a new driver in one with pneumatic tires bouncing all over the place. All you have to do is to let go of the sticks and it stops. I would tell them after a while. Of course something that everyone has done is dump the load on themselves when raising it high and not tilting down at the same time.
There are operators then there operators. Few and far between. It's like grading. Some people have a natural eye and to put that with a talent for running equipment is extraordinary. Seen guys dig a cellar hole within 1/2 to 1/4 inch with no transit or level. Truly masters. Watch look and most importantly, listen. Hopefully they may tell you some of their secrets. But you gotta have the feel. Know your machine. Don't be complacent on repairs and maintenance especially. Mechanical failures alway happen at the worst time. Best case scenario you lose money on the job. Worst case someone is injured or dead. I ramble. Truly a great video. And utmost respect as an operator for his talents. Thanks for sharing
I’m trying it right now. But I have an S595, so it’s a lot harder with the long wheelbase. Plus, I have 200# of counterweight on the back, which doesn’t help.
Reminds me of when Metro Toronto Police would follow me from bus stop to bus stop as i wheeled, popped, and Corkscrewed on 2 or occasionally one TIRE Plowing snow in a Bobcat in the 80s..LoL ! A Dube ,A Walkman and a pocket full of batteries and tapes.. WATT A BLAST!!
Somebody needs to put some gyroscopes in one of those (like a Segway), and then regular humans could drive them on two wheels too. The way Jake explains it, being able to run on two wheels is very practical. A skid loader that was designed to do it would be amazing!
I used to do this when spreading underturf dressing. Less damage to the ground. A lot of modern machines won't let you do this anymore. I went to posi-track because you can feel every bump and the reaction delay is terrible
I was a skid steer operator myself for about year or so andI learned some of those skills as well. Maybe not to that extend. andI Will admit that's pretty impressive. It all takes is practice.
His skills are awesome I'd just be concerned with engine oiling since those engines are wet sump. Wouldn't wanna blow the motor on one of those they're not cheap to replace.
Yeah its fun with the 2 speed new Hollands. Very nicely balanced machine and quite fast for a skidsteer. And best of all hydraulic over hydraulic controls
Very impressive, He's clearly a very skilled operator with super human balance and reactions! ....but, shouldn't that Bucket attachment he has created with the seats and harnesses have some sort of Rollover hoop/Safety cage arrangement? It looks like a disaster waiting to happen if something went wrong.
its america land of the free an risk takers can't live for ever. how did your husband die well we where at a state fair an last I heard was honey hold my beer
I remember watching a show at the Calgary Stampede in 1968 called the Dancing Bobcats. It was a group of guys that did some close quarter precision drills but nothing compared to this man. Very talented.
Hey Stan!! Love this vid and love your channel!! My dad owns a small firewood buisness in Duluth MN!! Im just a 14 year old kid working for him running heavy machinery and skid loaders. I love seeing you operate your buisness and learn things from you!! I was wondering where you are located? Thanks a lot Quin
Only yesterday people at my job site we were working for was bragging on how good I could run the skid loader. But I’ll be the first to admit I’m not even close to being as good as this guy. It’s like a part of his body!!
The first time I used my Bobcat I picked up a 300kg rock and accidentally dumped it on the top of my cage, so I guess I wont be performing in shows anytime soon.
This guy is groovy!!! minus the Fair's and Rodeos I used all the same techniques for work and fun when I was equipment operator on an erosion control barge (large WW2 landing craft) plus add ice skating technique due to the fact the barge still had it's gun wall's in place each time you backed on to the boat, bucket had to be over 7' in the air to clear walls and you use the wet steel deck to perform a " skidsteer ballet " that to me was the most entertaining part the 2 wheel work was just necessity but also pretty entertaining.I can see people wanting to pay to see this at the Fair because I could always draw a crowd just playing in the parking lot of the marina . He's right about the hyd. over hyd. much mo better ( love me a New Holland) besides when I first started using Caterpillar ( elec. over hyd. ) I would get in and shove both joysticks forward to move and for some reason the bucket would hit the ground??? Even after I became Captain of the barge I always taught my equipment operator to drive the boat a lot less mundane to operate the skidsteer .... Thanks Stanley I always appreciate seeing an excellent equipment operator!!!!!
Finally a video with an incredible thumbnail that is not clickbait.
🙂
I was there when Jake went over that metal hill at that rodeo. That was the coolest thing I had ever seen. That dude is incredible!
one operator to another, that beats anything I've ever seen and I've been running equipment for 30 plus years, that's awesome
Awesome stuff, man 😀

Bobcat should send him a free one
Rodney Stewart i agree
I agree!
pfft they won't. man ive neen using a bobcat for 4 years. since i was 14. how the heck does he do that.

I saw that in person last July 4th. It took everyone's breath away. The guy is crazy talented. Not to mention fearless.
Red bull needs to make him a custom one so we can really see this badass work
OSHA employees disliked lol
👍👍👍

@@omarsadk1117 aàaa
That's awesome, thanks for taking the time to share his story!
Thanks for watching!
When it's time to buy tires he only needs 2
nah he will use the one on the back lol
Bet it actually started with "hold my beer"
Lol. He's Mormon so its probably hold my mountain dew.
@@abbyalarid6877 He has a cup holder.....
@@egSmith-sp9gl for mountain dew lol
I don't think he had any beer left to hold at that point.
I think it started with hay y'all wach this
Dude's been playing so much on the job he turned into a hero!
tks. for sharing, awesome !! I've had skid loaders in some of those positions but not on purpose . LOL👍👍
LOL_ same here!!
Doggy?
Same here sir!😅
Same, sayinga prayer. God please don't let me die.
Haven’t really run a skid steer if you haven’t “accidentally “ been in those positions!
I have Never seen anything like this!?! Wow...That guy has some seriously Crazy skills!!!
I know! Its nuts!
What a legend! When somebody can make that look so easy when I know how hard it actually is.....they say it takes 10,000 hours to be the best in your field at something and he did it in 7000. Champion!
It only took me one pull, to be the best at pulling my Dad's Finger.
10k hours is expert status, not the best in your field. otherwise there'd be hundreds of millions of number 1 commenters like this.
Going to show this to my dad! He bought his first Bobcat in 1970, 600 series, when they were belt drive. Has had many since. Always thought he was tops! His dude is phenomenal !! Kudos!
It seems impossible to do that! Very impressive!

LOL hey man.
How the hell does he make that look so easy let alone being able to do it. That is talent!!!!!
Hold my beer I got this

You're welcome Michael, thanks for watching !
this guy's is fucken crazy, I've been driving skid loaders for 5 years and would never even attempt half the stuff this guy does!
Same here- never would have imagined doing stuff like this.
Would not do it for any money. I still remember the drop when I tried to unload a Bobcat from a dump trailer with no ramps,
Wow... five WHOLE years? :D
I would
Seems like the vehicle is incredibly unstable. If it were used for construction, I can envision operators accidentally flipping that thing so easily.
This kid deserves every penny.
Not a lot of people have that work ethic when they are adults never mind kids!
New X-Games competition coming, this guy will be the first to land a front flip.
I really loved his "my wheels were spinnin " part of the story he told.
Love the idea , I have built Supercross tracks and used to drive up and over the jumps at intermission at races . You have taken it to the next level mate !

Thanks for the comments Adam and thanks for watching
I agree that some major extreme sport label like monster or red bull should be taking him to the ama supercross venues 👍🏼
Man... That's awesome!
Jake with Black sheep skid is crazy talented
I DEVELOPED A SKILL TO DO COME UP ON 2 WHEELS TO STOP TEARING UP THE NURSERY ROADS AT TURNS, AND GO FAST AS WELL.
Just watched this again.
Had to show it to my elderly parents after watching a Dave Sparks vid where Blacksheep got a mention for helping plow snow in San Bernardino County.
Love the black sheep. I live in the same town as him and he's awesome.
He is awesome! I live about 3 minutes down the road from him
Dude... that is nothing but badass skill
I own a bobcat business and this is awesome.
😀
Roger Lamb so you own a joke company? Bobcat isn’t even quality equipment my JCB will drag any of your bobcats
2 years later.....Now down to 1, but we have pulled off the rail of death.
@@jordanrasmussen9499 settle down
Jordan Rasmussen lmao, I’ve operated both a JCB 270T and a Bobcat T750, JCB skids suck, the only good thing about them is the teleskid ability.
Hat's off to this skid steer master. Good stuff.
Funny, I live a town over from this guy in AZ. He is crazy on that skid steer!!

Who else wants to try this at work tomorrow?
I’m about to go try this
Did you die? Lol

i wonder if that engine gets enough oil when hes got it nose to the ground like that
If the oil pump and pick up are in the right place it's not a problem.
I guess it must, or it would die in short order.
Funny you ask that question because I was thinking the same thing.
Operator to operator my hats off to ya brotha 👊

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This dude is the operator to beat.

I was good at balancing on 2 tires... This guys skill is incredible
Yeah its fun with the 2 speed new Hollands. Very nicely balanced machine and quite fast for a skidsteer. And best of all hydraulic over hydraulic controls
Ok this guy is bad ass🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 your best vid by far!!💯

Hey man... doesn't this kid deserve a response? C'mon... poke poke... 😉😉
I’ve operated Bobcats when I was a young man BUT I never even CONSIDERED trying what this man does! OMG! Impressed doesn’t cover it!!
Bet a beer he couldn’t grade a slab to save his life hahahah
Im sure he can
He is crazy and is awesome that he gets to use skills to help him work
Yes- good way of looking at it!
HE'LL I'M A LIL SHAKY WHEN MINE TILTS. THANKS JAKE.UR THE MAN.
I HAVE A 753. I'M GOING TO TRY SUM NEW TRICKS NOW.
Good luck!
Damn, WALL-E is doing some crazy tricks. WOW, this is awesome.
i drive these for work and i have just been able to figure out how to load these onto a trailer tge same way he does
I am an excavator operator and bobcat skid steer operator and truck driver and wheel loader driver but my favorite is the bobcat skid steer
"Hey Bubba!....Watch this!"
Amazing, I am just starting to operate this type of machine, your skills are so inspiring, thank you.
Thanks Jason, appreciate that!
1:43 we see here the wild skid steer is performing its mating ritual, it happens only once a year and is a rare occurrence
What a testament to the lubrication system on that Kubota!
I thought I was good on a Bobcat but I can't compete with him
This guy is next level.

Thumbnail got me, content kept me
I thought it was amazing that I managed to flip my s-450 on the back end while there was pavement in it.
This is insane and awesome 👏
I would worry about starving the engine of oil having the machine at that attitude for that long.
Another blacsheep gave you a thumbs up👍
I challenge this guy. I'm in the Guinness book first to do a full back flip on a stock loader.
How long were you in the hospital????
No one could do this like this guy
I do similar stuff like that but I do it on 1 tire
I just call this using it to it's full potential 😂👍
wait till you see what he can do in a mini excavator
Hahaha
Incredible! I didn't even know it was possible!!
Your an athlete my friend...
• Keep your Hands and arms inside the cab until the ride comes to a complete stop"....
this is so incredible. that guy is a genius.
Stan I bet you can do this.After you saw him do it did you go and try some of these stunts?HA HA HA
Mark's Reviews at least it has a practical use lol
to be honest - I kind of want to try-
OMG. That is out of this world.
