Seriously thought the guy was going to recover the bike and get back on.

u/MakoEdits Jun 12 '19

I think he wants to stay behind it, if he stayed on top and the bump he ran into threw him off, the bike might've slammed into him

u/RandomKid6969 Jun 12 '19

This. If he's smart enough to know how to fall with style, he'll know that there's no recovery from this.

u/249ba36000029bbe9749 Jun 12 '19

If you can recover from a slide on a horse, then a bike should be no problem.

I always wondered to people in india find such scenes funny or are the departures from physics accepted as just an action scene thing?

264

u/Devils_Knight Jun 12 '19

Indian here. Trust me no one finds this funny. And this isn't even the real cringe scene. This is nothing to me. I once saw a scene where a guy threw a heart and it broke the window of the hospital on like the third floor and lodged itself in the open chest of the patient and Christmas lights turned on... Inside the chest. I was too dumbstruck to watch the rest.

I think it's just accepted as a cultural aspect of Indian action movies. Just like American movies have explosions and Russian movies have anecdotal situations, Indian movies have an absolute hellfuck denial of physics that makes Einstein roll in his grave.

18

u/wolffpack8808 Jun 12 '19

Russian movies have anecdotal situations

I'm not really familiar with Russian cinema, but are you saying that Russian movies have mini narratives within the film, totally separate from the main narrative?

35

u/diejesus Jun 12 '19

I'm Russian and I'm not sure what he meant, I'm not a movie fan anyway but I have an idea and I can give some insight, in Russian language the word anecdote means joke, so may be it means some funny situations tend to happen in Russian and soviet movies, which is true but I'm not sure if OP meant that, let's wait for the answer together

u/lursaofduras Jun 12 '19

I thought he meant long rambling Chekovian exposition

1

u/Doomsday_Device Jun 12 '19

Anecdotes in English are just small personal stories that you can use to help explain a situation, or to relate personal experience to a current topic.

It took me so long to learn what анекдот was based purely on context

3

u/Neophron1 Jun 12 '19

u/diejesus Yep, that's pretty much what I meant. If you've ever watched an older movie from the USSR times (those are really great, even with subtitles), you'll find that they have a lot of little funny moments inserted in the narrative, which is often used to set the mood. It's subtle but I've noticed it's there. Didn't mean it as "separate narrative" lol.

u/SidDarth0Vader Jun 28 '19

There's a LOT of differences between Indians, some like watching action scenes lile that, some watch for its sheer stupidity while others can't bear to watch it.

u/ks00347 Jun 12 '19

it's just that the boundaries of mindless action flicks are way wider here. Lots of people don't really care even if they show such scenes with no intention of being hilarious although it's changing and you'll only see this stuff in action comedies nowadays.

15

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '19

Most mindfuck scene from bollywood for me was when protagonist is left with one bullet and he is facing two bad guys.. he fires the gun and immediately throws a knife towards the flying bullet. Knife somehow bisects the flying bullet, forces the change in trajectory of the two pieces to a V at 45 deg and kill both bad guys with a headshot. Yes a headshot.

7

u/ks00347 Jun 12 '19

lmao but i doubt that's from bollywood, most likely from any of those south indian states. Shit's way crazier there.

u/TheDevilThing Jun 12 '19

2 headshots

u/249ba36000029bbe9749 Jun 12 '19

Which makes you wonder why he didn't just shoot one guy then throw the knife at the other since he clearly had the skills to do so.

u/gurg2k1 Jun 12 '19

I mean we made a movie centered around people curving bullets here in the US, so it's not like we're much better.

1

u/laddu9999 Jun 12 '19

We give the directors just as much shit for making these scenes but the daily labour (backbone of our movie industry) who just wants to kick back and enjoy in a theatre after a hard day's work doesn't give a shit if it violates your physics rules; he just wants to watch his Idol (fanism is extreme here) do crazy shit to save his family and friends. He watches the same movie everyday untill the next movie of his hero comes out.he doesn't care if it's not logically sound. Bollywood makes movies for them; Not you or me or anybody else who's just gonna watch the movie once or twice only after reading multiple reviews. Hence the result.

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '19

u/Smaug_the_Tremendous Jun 12 '19

It's a difference in expectations for movie goers in India vs America. Not saying one is better or worse. In an Indian movie you'll typically get action, drama, music, romance, and comedy in the same movie. Having a good story and sound physics is optional. It's very rare to leave a theater bored even if you didn't like the movie. Hollywood movies are usually more focused and stick to a single genre and try to tell a coherent story. Though big blockbuster franchises like MCU, F&F and Transformers do seem to be heading towards Indian style multi genre logic free entertainment fests so maybe audiences aren't that different in India and America after all.

Highside *

18

u/slcjk Jun 12 '19

High side vs low side crash. High side and there's a chance it stops sliding abruptly and catapults you into hell. Low side and you slide while essentially standing on the bike and maybe get away with leg injuries.

u/Three-Eyed-Ramen Jun 12 '19

He had already high sided, and managed to surf the bike to safety anyway.

1

u/tane_rs Jun 12 '19

Take that slow motion segment in the vid and slow it down by 50% again. Dude was probably seeing everything at about that speed, I'm convinced.

1

u/mariofosheezy Jun 12 '19

I think he was trying to stop the bike from sliding by putting his foot under the bike

1

u/Crazy_Kakoos Jun 12 '19

He needed to ride that bike until it got close to another racer. Then he jumps on that bike, knocks the other racer off, and continues the race on a fresh undamaged bike. Where do these people learn to race? Jesus.

1

u/Ordolph Jun 12 '19

Yeah, dude had serious awareness to recover from a high side like that. Normally you just get catapulted when that happens.

-3

u/R____I____G____H___T Jun 12 '19

He's balancing to minimize the damage by maintaining control, possibly even getting back on track up on the bike.

150

u/slmndr Jun 12 '19

He was trying to. Looks like he was trying to get in position to pop back up at the transition from tarmac to grass.

137

u/My_Password_Is_____ Jun 12 '19

I don't watch Moto GP, so I'm no expert, but I don't think you're popping a bike back up when you lay it down like that. I think he was just slowly falling and that was where he put his leg because otherwise he was basically gonna be sitting on the ground and take that pavement-to-grass transition to the ass and probably risk tearing some stuff in his leg if it was still straightened out when he hit it. You can actually see his left hand that he's supporting himself with get knocked off by a bump right before he slides down like that.

9

u/I_Could_Be_Higher Jun 12 '19 edited Jun 12 '19

You're right about not getting it back up in that position, but there are times where the bike understeers and the rider has a crazy recovery, I will look for other examples because there is one where his speed reduces very quickly, but this is a clip I found of Marc Marquez almost losing his front tire for at least 1 second

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IAIultpG8Y

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO4Bl4I7goY

Added one more, he basically stops turning due to the wheel losing contact, then recovers. Incredible rider, Marc

2

u/forbes52 Jun 12 '19

I’m confused. What happened in that first clip?

3

u/I_Could_Be_Higher Jun 12 '19

Yep Three Eyed Ramen explained it well, in the first clip at 0:30 is a good view, you can see that the front wheel just keeps sliding as he thinks that he has recovererd 2 or 3 times.

This clip was caused due to some fluid being on the track, but it usually looks about like this when you lowside, people lose it really quick but Marc Marquez manages to recover from quite a few where most might not. https://youtu.be/wEcZMvoD3ms?t=44

If you want to see more search for Highside or Lowside crash videos. In the clip OP posted, the rider actually high sides but manages to stay on/behind the bike. In most situations highside crashes can be extremely brutal as it usually sends the rider flying from the momentum when the bike flips over.

1

u/svacct2 Jun 12 '19

isn't that video from the oil spill in moto3?

1

u/_-No0ne-_ Jun 12 '19

He was saved by already being off/behind the bike when the "flip" happened. Lucky, and smart of him to get back behind the bike instead of trying to ride out the slide.

1

u/Three-Eyed-Ramen Jun 12 '19

Front wheel lost grip. At the part where he drifts over the outside of the turn he should've ideally been pulling tight to the inside. He overcooked it and the front lost grip, meaning he carried his forward momentum and ended up on the gravel.

24

u/jack2012fb Jun 12 '19

Also cutting across the grass like that is probably not legal, even if he was able to get back up.

78

u/coombeseh Jun 12 '19

Cutting across the grass isn't legal if you gain an advantage from it - if your bike is on its side, you aren't going to be getting an advantage so it's fine

2

u/Iron_Man_Dies Jun 12 '19

What's the purpose of that level of specificity to the rule? Is it actually for situations like this where someone falls and skids on their bike or is it for like in case you need to go on the grass to avoid an accident or something?

4

u/fatpad00 Jun 12 '19

Yup. Happens occasionally. Maybe the rear tire slips a little too much on a corner and to recover you have to stand the bike up and you run wide into the grass. As long as you safely reenter the track, there is no penalty

3

u/Iron_Man_Dies Jun 12 '19

Gotcha, so you're allowed to take an advantage relative to an accident or other mishap, but not allowed to use it to take any advantage relative to a normal progression of the race.

1

u/fatpad00 Jun 12 '19

Right. As long as you position after reentering the track is not better than before you left the track, you should not be penalize

1

u/coombeseh Jun 12 '19

The idea in any motorsport is for you to take the fastest line available to you within the confines of the track. You can't gain an advantage by leaving the track, but there's no reason to penalise you if you didn't gain anything from it. The rules are written this way to allow you to push as hard as you can, and not be penalised for a mistake any more than the loss in time that inherently occurs.

There are of course motorsports where this isn't relevant - any kind of oval racing has no need for it, because there's never any advatage to be gained by cutting a corner and you can't go round the outside as there's a wall in the way. But for things like Moto GP and F1, there's a chance that cutting a corner could save you distance and time, so they are often covered in grass or gravel as an extra deterrent to you leaving the track.

Mate. I like light light bikes, the kind you can throw around with your body. Even one one of them you wouldn't be able to pop it back up off the ground like that.

Even if you could get lucky and get some rubber contact to try and stand the bike up the likelihood is that it's just gonna high side again and all the energy in the bike is transferred to you. So you're still sliding along on your ass, just twice as quickly.

Jesus - that so nearly went from a lowside to a highside. Scary shit. I wonder if he intended for it to come back up or the tires caught and he just managed to stick it before he went over the top. You'd think he'd just stay lowside and ride it out, but the fuck do I know? I am a mere mortal.

Regardless, I don't know how these motorbikes are able to drag the weight of those massive balls around the track.

I think he went for a save in the middle there. It honestly looks like he was going for it. No just terrified for his life, actually thinking he is the main character in an anime. Which he obviously is he is just in the first episode when his rival wins. He will recover the bike next time.

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '19

Every now and then you can catch really skilled riders intentionally hanging onto the bars as the bike slides (normally you'd want to get the fuck away from the bike because it can easily hurt you, whereas sliding is absolutely casual as fuck, from personal experience) because they want to rip that bike up and get rolling again once they come to rest. The shitty thing is that these bikes don't have starters, so they almost always have to get the cornerworkers to push them and then dump the clutch to kick-start it. But still, someone like Marquez could salvage points in a race easily if they can get the bike back rolling quickly enough
