I'm from California, I know about Baja and I totally agree...DAKAR IS THE BEST! Starts on the European side in wintertime, through the sahara, and finishes in Dakar, Senegal in the African continent. Extreme conditions from day 1, nothing compares or comes close.
@ 4:40, nothing like a pissed off french rider LOL. Great video, some great riders and drivers there. Not being sarcastic either! Anyone that competes in rally raid has my respect
@bulletmunger the bikes are like the coolest category! They're really on their own out there. They don't have spare wheels or anything with them, they can only rely on their own skills and own mechanical knowledge. That is the real deal!
In the Dakar rally you have 3 main classes : bikes, quads, cars and trucks. There's no overall winner Bikes are now limited to 92mph so most people are using 450cc bikes. Quads are limited to 75mph but people are still using a kinda-wide range of engines Cars are limited to 92mph and divided into T1 (AWD racing vehicles), T1.2WD (big buggies), T2 (almost-stock homologated street vehicles) and T3 (mini-buggies) Trucks are limited to 75mph and divided into T4 (4-wheel drive) and T5 (6-wheel drive)
There's a set of regulations. Modern fuel tanks are around 32L (like 8 gallons) and those bikes are kinda comfortable, something needed when you have to do 150-400 miles of racing every day for 2 weeks plus the link roads. Also, right now they're limited to 92mph so most use 450cc "lightweight" bikes (in 2002 the main bikes were around 950cc and did 140mph on sand)
@8geartodown over the history of the paris dakar there have been 25 competitors that have died and about the same or a bit more of spectators who have been run over etc... and died
2 to 3 racers die every year in this competition.. they have to go over 70 mph so they dont get stuck in the sand or fall "stupidly". Today was the first day of the Rally Dakar 2012, and 1 competitor died already.
I love Le Mans, and ALMS, and MotoGP. However, I've never seen this kind of rally motorsport before. I see there are a variety of vehicle classes being used. Is this a multi-vehicle rally race? Someone explain. . .
why dont they take some bike with smaller weight ? like xl250 ? or something .. i mean those bikes are really huge .. and prize for motorbike must be more then those for cars and truck ..
Does anyone know why they use these kinds of bikes? they look nose heavy and the tires look like street tires??? If i was riding that desert, i'd rather have a WR450 or something a little more off road ready...

Once we land on Mars...this is the first thing we should do there.

Wow!
Thats some hectic stuff 8-)

Nice video!
I have done what he did at 3:44. Twice.- it hurts like hell. This is an awesome vid!

AWESOMENESS
Whoa, the spectators are coldblooded at 1:06. I would piss my pants and the leftmost one didn´t even move.

NICE :)))))))))

the first things they only get stuck?? but great vid
Good job man!! You are right, Baja can not be compared to the Dakar.
Супер!!!

Grandes los motoristas!
very very nice video
can any one please tell me the name of the last rider wears yellow
4:11 , nice fall!

filmed with what exactly an hairdryer or a soldering iron, 4 k it aint
All drivers done a god job!
It's soul destroying to pick up a heavy bike again and again on soft ground !
I wish you good luck
3:44 Classic flying W.
0.41 nice
Dakar.....Is THE BEST!!!
@8geartodown over the history of the paris dakar there have been 25 competitors that have died and about the same or a bit more of spectators who have been run over etc... and died
nada volverá a ser como antes...el lago rosa,africa....
can someone give me the music list over this movie ? :))
someone really needs to make a game based on the dakar rally. there was one on the Gamcube but it kinda sucks.
@positech123
and probably since a week or so through sand.
this is enormous!
Textbook montage, perfect. The music... pity. I'd rather hear the original sounds.
crazy people! I like them! :)
the crashes do look ridicolous but it's amazing that they even are able to drive 1 wheel drive MOTORCYCLES on the finest sand! :O
This is and will be the hardest race forever. How much is it allowed to tune the bikes? Brighter front and rear wheels allowed?
2 to 3 racers die every year in this competition.. they have to go over 70 mph so they dont get stuck in the sand or fall "stupidly". Today was the first day of the Rally Dakar 2012, and 1 competitor died already.
but why this stupid music...
Robert Urban pretty sure it's part of a tv show
haha 3:44 nice stunt xD
try dakar 2010 music version 2 for stunning dakar imagery
how many of them died
?
Video title should read: "30 Years of Mostly Motorcyclists Falling Gently Into Soft Sand."
last crash with pharao pose is Kari Tiainen
man's game!
This is real adventure;
I think the worst part is the risk of someone crash on you from behind.
@Redoralive
but it crashed a few years ago didn't it? :D
that last one. XD
It's Bruno Saby at 3:25
0:07 Omg a real crash :D
the first things they only get stuck??
3:44 the best ;]
já fui bom nisso
@msxxfast Pretty acrobatic though! :D
Как узнать название 3-й песни??? Помогите пжста!!!
3th song name please!!!
I love Le Mans, and ALMS, and MotoGP. However, I've never seen this kind of rally motorsport before. I see there are a variety of vehicle classes being used. Is this a multi-vehicle rally race?
Someone explain. . .
@positech123 and the locals also set traps to make them crash
i know the crashes probably hurt but some of the motorbikers crashes look so funny when they drive like 2kph and just fall to the side hihi
@bulletmunger if u dont watch bikes doesnt mean nobody does :D
2:45 OMG!!
last soundtrack who knows this music????? puddi puddi yeaaa
Who had the brilliant idea to organise a race through loose sand for motors?
horrible music, awesome vid
Argentina... Main and best place of Rally Dakar in the world
0:42 good
0:40 He was just hungry from working his ass off for that save. lol
@golferchin76 sorry, it is 3:18
1:43 André Malherbe

@tjoef1992 LOL You feel it in the morning though ;)
240p ? Not everyone is watching youtube on a iPhone 1.
@bullstefanodog
it is. start or finish
why dont they take some bike with smaller weight ? like xl250 ? or something .. i mean those bikes are really huge ..
and prize for motorbike must be more then those for cars and truck ..
That is a tough race but i think i could do it!
4:40, i dont think we need subtitles to know what he was saying lol
well most are big cause of gas tanks and there like ktm adventure bikes
dear codemasters, new idea for a game and i want the while thing not just bits of stages
Me sinto bem melhor agora rs kkk
French rider Thomas Bourgin was killed yesterday in 2013 race. R.I.P.
3:41 LOL!
ed march can do this with his c90
Does anyone know why they use these kinds of bikes? they look nose heavy and the tires look like street tires??? If i was riding that desert, i'd rather have a WR450 or something a little more off road ready...
@thetoni87 Nobody knows the name of the songs, including me... xD
haha
These guys aren't allowed to use paddle tires right? Yes I know it's a dumb question and it would help them
they are allowed to use any kind of tyre, but paddles are only good in deep sand, while here you also ride on many other types of roads...
@thetoni87 not sure but lyrics sound indian.. from punjab
once they brought 4 wheels into the race everythlng changed -two wheels-good-4 wheels-bad "dawin"
@positech123 + they've been ridding for hrs on hrs prob exhausted out of their mind
@toolshedjunky Its harder than you think!:)
Virgin Galactic Mars Rally 21XX :D
