Of all the things they ever did on Mythbusters, this one was clearly by far the one that surprised me the most.
That proves it, Jesus was running at 80 mph.
Lmfao
He riding ktm Enduro bro....
Yeah, I'm from the future
And on a two stroke 😛

@@manbearpig710 WTF, I don't remember commenting here 😵😨
fatter tires would probably help considerably, especially ribbed sand tires instead of knobby dirt ones.
no need to change the tires. put a full coverage skid plate under the motor and loose all the weight you can from the bike. there's guys that do water-cross all the time.
Edward Rosner The idea is to ride a bike(no mode) on water.. :)
Ashik Ahmed Nobody said anything about no mods, just about riding on water. You need a skid plate. A lot of dirt bikes have factory options for one.
Edward Rosner a skid plate wont do anything...
As long as it is a solid plate and not perforated, it will add some deflection force.
craigslist- "Runs good, hardly used"
Tristan Ludvig but was submerged
I'd buy it. A CR500AF was over $10K when you could still get them.
Tristan Ludvig next time don't use someone else's joke
"regularly washed"
Lmao
Needs bigger tires. The more surface area the better.
+eurenton99 .... Up to a point. Get them big and they will span the water, and no longer ride the surface ruining the experiment. Larger, and they block the sun, screwing up weather patterns across the globe. Even larger, and it would screw up the mechanics of the solar system making the weather even worse. Eventually, it would crowd out of the galaxies and trigger a cascade of stellar nucleosynthesis. The mass of these complexes would collapse into a black holes and converge plunging the Universe into an existence where all matter exists as a singularity in the simplest possible thermodynamic state. The worst possible outcome for all sentient life and basically ruining everything for everyone for all time.
wat
+Serendra that was epic :)
Serendra Hardu That got dark quick
+Serendra Hardu Didn't expect that. I'm impressed, and paranoid.
If they put some sand paddle/scoop tires on the back, and some street tires or some 80/20 or 60/40 dual sport tires on the front it might've done better.
Hazardous-Nebula they do make amphibious paddle tires for dirt bikes sand paddles would be a bad choice for water as well as raised fork ski's for the front so you can ride from land to water and vise versa. may cost more but they are specialty items.
+Hazardous-Nebula and a new tuned 250 2stroke
You don't have enough dispacement with the wheels. The paddle tires act as rows and a smooth sand tire in front will help reduce drag in the front.. Totally possible if you have the right stuff on the bike.. I would like to see this done right a second time.
I guess jesus was a biker
You mean Jesus was Jamie?
You need paddle tire in the back but awesome job
And a like ski thing on the front
@@hydratedkoalaeatingvegemit3297 more the paddle tire would have changed it than a ski that wouldn't be able to get 80mph
This is to do with hitting the water fast enough for it to act more like a solid than a liquid allowing you to drive over the surface. The key is speed and surface area. The faster you go the more you'll be pushed up by the water, the more surface area you have the less speed you ideally need (more contact with the water to push against).
needs paddle tires. Some dude took a dirtbike down teahupoo
+BadIdeas101 robbie madison's pipe dream
+bam 0217 he also had a snowmobile skid thing on the bottom
Exactly what I scrolled down to post. I was going to type, "Needs Paddle Tires". Thank you for saving me the time from having to type those three words. Again, thank you for saving me from typing that.
Just slicks on front would have made a lot of difference. That rear offroad tire probably has enough of a paddle effect.
BadIdeas101 I"
$12,000 service Honda cr500af underwater...pain.
it was prob a 250, didnt look like it was powerful enough to be the 500, and he should of been in powerband or at least topped out
Jaredcs199 It was for sure a 500, post 86 500's barely have power-bands.
Ahh ok
This Guy
Dude... i think they rip pretty hard... Change pipe/carb/ignition/ports if youre not satisfied for your kind of riding style..? Just saying.
Or why not go for a kx500 with kips,..
Gasrullen They have plenty of power, but almost no powerband, which is good.
I've seen people do this in snowmobiles in the winter over like 50 ft patches of open water, so yeah, no doubt in my mind you could cross a small body of water in a dirtbike if you were going fast enough.
It's called watercross, and you can go for hundreds and hundreds of meters with snowmobile on open water.
different operating principles. the bike depends on hydroplaning, essentially pulling air under it quickly enough to keep it off the water. once it's on the water, it's relying on momentum to move forward
a snowmobile is more like a tiny paddle boat. the treads actually push water, allowing the snowmobile to remain under its own power.
That is an amazing example of watercross /watch?v=yZv5uuKoBkM
they actually have snowmobiles do a track on water thats over a quarter mile long here in colorado. they do like 4 lap races and its impressive to see them stay afloat that long.
if he had sand tires it would work better : )
Wow he did that with regular tires. So does that mean I could easily do this across a 20-50ft river and save having to go around?
Kandi Klover if you got the balls to hydroplane it
If you can afford to lose your bike and the subsequent EPA fine, go for it.
Best you go around and save having to buy another bike
ALL that was needed for this to work was that back tire to be a paddle tire. Sand tires front and back, would give the necessary power application to the water to keep the bike moving while decreasing the drag of the front tire. Once the bike drops below 50-60mph it's over.
With some better tires, they may have been able to go farther. Those knobby tires aren't right. You would want a smooth, almost highway tread in front and a lug tread in back
Travis pastrana did that ages ago. Plus, look at Robbie Madison doing it
If they used a 4 stroke since it has better torque and a set of sand tires it would've been no problem.
The problem was clearly not the torque but the power (for these wheel conditions).And btw : a 4 stroke is heavier at the same power so it need more force (so more power) to have the same acceleration and if the torque was the problem, you can just change the sprocket on the 2 stroke.So no, 4 stoke is not the solution
Josh Pooley
Not only what Gosse said, but a four stroke would have been a nightmare to clear the water out of each time the took a dunk on their multiple tries.
That beautiful 2 stroke sound
You’ve got my respect Jamie ! There is a real potential for serious injury on that one. Chapeau !!
Paddle rear and smooth/rib front. Get further. But ultimately you need a skid bolted between the wheels.
so, if you're being chased and you're on a sport motorcycle, you can just speed up to around 200 mph and go at least halfway across a small lake
My Jetski can Skim the water for miles.
congratulations
But can it drive on land as well as a motorcycle on water?
my boat can go across the pacific ocean but it sure as hell isn't gonna cross mainland china
Now we need to find out if there is some way you could modify the rear tire to provide push in the water while not sacrificing the lift from hydroplaning!
Go faster and lean back more. Once u get to a good speed just hold the throttle there or u will start to bounce
Agreed. We would do a 150 foot or so with 250's running turbo 8 paddles at the Oregon dunes and it wasn't a big problem. The 500 with a 10 or 12 has enough power to possibly pull it. It's a long way and a Service Honda is way too expensive for me to try it. Maybe they will try it again in another episode.
Im the one who suffers for the bike ?
Those 2 strokes are pretty easy to get water out of. He could of hydro locked the piston and bent a rod but more then likely it just needs to be cleaned out and put some fresh oil in the crank case and it should be fine. 4 strokes are a whole different story tho.
I've seen many sunk and running again in less then an hour. (2 stokes that is) Plus.. they are cleaner! (outside only)
Jeeh yep
Seems to me the true Mythbusters thing to do would be to get another bike and go faster until they could make it all the way across!
The freestyle guys did this stuff back in the early Crusty Demons of Dirt videos in the mid 90's, and they were likely running paddles since they were dune riding at the time. Regardless.. badass!
In case you missed this, my fellow dirt bike riders. 2 strokes Rock!
Hell yea I'm on a 300xc

2013 yz450f ... god i miss my 07 kx250 2t
It's a Service Honda CR500
Try it now with a an old yamaha BW200? 1985 had HUGE ATV type wheels....and I think it might do 80 but not a lot of power....there was also a BW350 however
I think adam wanted to say "that was fucking awesome"
Its actually a 2012 Service Honda CR500AF.
Apparently they've never heard of Robbie Madison. He did this on the ocean with a bike repeatedly before this episode even came out
This episode aired in 2013. According to Wikipedia, the guy you're talking about merely started training to do it in 2013, not actually accomplishing his goal until 2015.
The videos of bikes slipping water, were using sand paddle rear tires.
Observe it's not the initial speed but speed-maintenance that fails the water-skipping bike: Try rear wheel thick-'V' tire tread or rim-'V'-paddles scooping-and-shoving maximum water aside... (Anti-hydroplaning, combined scoop-shove gives you maximum-thrust-at-minimum-energy.)
Of course you can, people do it all the time. They just usually do it with different tires and a bit of a metal plate on the front of the engine.
red bull actually has a video of bikes fitted to go on water driving in the ocean paddle tires and small balast
So, when the bike suckeed in a big lungfull of agua, did it bend the rod?
CR500 is a bike that'll make fools out of even some of the best riders.
Try using the paddle shaped tire traction. ....
I'm "almost" certain that if you put some paddle knobbies on the back and some strange, wider (not typical round) tires on the front? You could probably get 100 yards before you submarine...
Needs a special tyres and the throttle must be customized to stick in a full throttle to have a uniformed speed in order to cross the river or lake...
Most people do this with paddle (sand) tires and you can pretty much go on forever with those...
put rain tires in the opposed direction and u might go further.
They should put like water ski's around the back tires and try it
I want to see this done with something that doesn't have knobby tires. I bet a motogp bike with some nice flat slicks would have done well.
works better with dune tires, and alot more power!
They should put skis on the front and back wheel lugs and try again.
There are hard enduro vids that show how to get water out of a flooded engine in minutes. 2 strokes aare usually ok, 4 strokes, bent rod.
What I want to see is them try this again with a super high-end bike (Suzuki Hayabusa level) and see if they can get a significant increase in distance, obviously due to the MUCH higher power in the engine than a relatively standard dirt bike.
The problem with that is it would be MUCH heavier. It wouldn't work as well because it doesn't matter how fast the tires are spinning in the water, just how fast the motorcycle is going. And then, the weight would render the superior speed obsolete.
Stetson Graham you realise a factory hayabussa goes over 300kph right?
Jamie's a badass.
should of used a amphibious rare paddle tire with a front dirt bike ski. They make parts to ride dirt bikes on water as well as all other motorbikes. except scooters.
These guys have a sick budget, Service Honda CR500AF with ultimate speedometer is almost 13,000....
They couldve given it to me..... :p
That water wont ruin that beast... take the spark plug out and spit that water out... good as new.
+Big T True, but that's with any bike, unless its salt water then your fucked
I see if the front tire change something can slide over water like hydrofoil it would be great, the pattern of back tire giving a thrust than the front tire. ;)
Rider weight may have had an effect on the distance travelled also.
He should try it again with a paddle tire on the back. A guy in Italy crossed a lake with a paddle tire. At least so he will have bragging rights as well.
CR500AF!!! i want that bike!!!
Im surprised they didn't try to use paddle tire for sand.
It's actually a CR500AF from Service Honda!
That was totally incredible
If had just gone 88 mph he could've gone back in time
Nope. Flux capacitor too big to fit on bike.
I dont care what anyone says, this was far cooler than blowing up a cement truck.
I wonder if they put an exaggerated sand paddle tyre on the back whether they would be able to accelerate on water
Little skis sticking down the forks would help. But they would be a problem on land.
You gotta get one of the sled bike kits, makes a snowmobile out of a dirt bine
and there goes the overhaul...
nearly there, but still good
If he would have just sat farther back on the bike it would have made a difference. But paddle tires would work the best.
I’m surprised they got that far on a regular tire. Your supposed to use a paddle tire, and use a bike with ALOT of low end torque!
I think why he fell was because he maybe got water on his helmet and that caused him to fall.
OK ! Aqua motorcycle have upgrade speed and engine power up to 30% or riding on water !!
im gonna do this. 2 strokes are the best!
Needs paddle tire and retry crossing it will work
This was known for about 20 years now.
It so cool watching this now knowing that in recent years they figured a way to make a bike surf for miles and miles... Go look it up someone did it with a ktm
More than real - it's been done with extreme four-wheel-drive trucks. A far better choice of vehicle would have been a snowmobile.
Sounded like the engined died at the end, should of used a oil coated filters for the carb.
How about a few more feet with a set of paddle tires? I'm surprised they didn't try that.
that water looks so clean
Confirmed !!!! And Awesome !!!!
Not enough water thrust for a steady-state cruise on such thin tires. A regular cycle with fatter tires would have planed better, too; or a 2WD cycle might have done better than a simple RWD bike. Specially adapted cars with vaned tires have done this better, and a snowmobile covered 131 miles on a (non-frozen) river in Norway.
"Throttled the throttle"
That takes some balls.
I wonder what the outcome would be with a 1000cc supersport bike
probably worst becouse of the weight...but with proper tires even they could do it better, sand tires maybe
much wider tires and higher speeds
what would that do to the engine? Full throttle and he did not roll it up when he submarined?
You can you have to pick up the front as high as you can
Don't they make snow sled-style ski-s for dirt bikes? I'm sure that would help.
This and jackass back in the day, and your summer afternoon was merry.
Would have been easier in a boat. Maybe that would be a good way to test this myth, which I think is just about if it's possible to cross water in some kind of vehicle? That seems to be the whole point, so yeah, they should have tested it in a boat. Now my comment is the most valuable contribution of all.
just change the wheel design. wheel is full of air thats why it stays up
no
paddle tire and a ski on the front, it will go for a mile
jamie is brave
Try with sand cross tyre at rear.....
Did he shut the engine off before the intake went in or was the start up an edited in part because that probably would hydro lock if the engine went under at full rpm or did they make a float plug or something that won't let the bike suck in water through the intake.
They most likely have enough money to not care about the damages :P
yeah 2 stroke powa
you need a concrete or flat surface paddle tires and a lighter bike
This should be a sport
