Audi attempts to *climb* a ski ramp
In reply to this comment by joedirt:
This is soooooo bad. They clearly had a cable. Check out 2:01 to 2:02 for where they video edit out the cable and it magically appears for a few frames.
Why go to the trouble to edit it out? This is lame.
Well, I wouldn't want to do this 'without' a cable. Let's assume for the moment that this isn't fake. What happens if they get halfway up, then the car starts to slide backwards? Since it's a Ski Jump, it's made to have things speed down it and fly off. I'd hate to do that in a car (I think I saw that on Top Gear somewhere).
My guess is that the cable is a safety locking mechanism that prevents the car from sliding backwards. Note when the car fails to climb the ramp, I don't see it slide backwards much. I don't think there's really any another way to provide this safety measure. Well, at least without damaging the car and/or ramp...
What Would You See Inside A Perfectly Mirrored Sphere?
Yeah, a ski hill.
Most useless invention EVER!
wingoguy is commenting on the tire ski jump sift, which is way better than this shite...
Now THIS Is Sailing
A nice beamy catboat or a pokey old chinese junk are more to my liking. It's like cross-country skiing in the back 40 vs olympic ski jumping!
The Physics of SomethingAwful
ahaha, the ski jump pulled by the car! ahaha!
'God' saves skiier as he lands on his head from 255ft
I personally think God would've ensured an upright landing position at the bottom. Does the Great Lord not enjoy graceful ski jumping?
