this video and his run has been extensively edited and this is not one pass, these are multiple passes for each section and have been edited to show the best and it probably took him multilple tries to get the footage, as an example look at 3.52 in the vid, his entry in the obtacle is such that if they kept the camera on him he would have hit the guard rail(plastic) but they conviniently cut to the next frame where he is spining and not hitting anything, I call bs on this vid.

entertaining though

its a good commercial for the tires.

I've probably seen it 30 times, and it still just blows me away. The scene with the Segway is unbelievable - the snorting Subie, hulking and growling around him menacingly in full circumferential drift is just plain cool.

Soroush, you're right - a lot of this is the magic of editing. But I'm still convinced there's some driving magic in it, too.

definitely some magic to the driving...

I have ridden with Samuel Hubinette on a very similar course albeit somewhat faster in his viper... editing aside the driving is real, whether or not he got it on one take or not.. I would put all kinds of money on Samuel doing that same course in one pass :biggrin
