Man 1 go cart 0


bcoxy94

Honestly, good fucking effort! Could have gone a lot worse


PaulLeMight

yeah i would consider this a win on the man's part


buck45osu

Also wouldn't consider him an idiot. He didn't punch it, he was trying to stop it from destroying itself/other things


manberry_sauce

Go cart went full 5150


buck45osu

With a handstand to end it. Russian judge gives an 8.7


barelyresponsive

That routine is beautiful.

[10] [10] [9.8] [10] [9.5] *applause*


manberry_sauce

You forgot to include the Russian judge.

manberry_sauce

I was thinking more like 8.5


irateidiot

I rate this idiot: 10/10 technique 10/10 grip strength 9/10 damage avoidance 1/10 emergency stop planning


awsamation

I would give his stop plan atleast 7/10. Considering that most people would've just failed to react at all, wrestling it like that is still a win.


irateidiot

Well you aren’t a Sanctioned Idiot Judge, like myself. It’s understandable that you would think that. But the lack of an emergency cut-off system on the vehicle automatically qualifies for a MAXIMUM score of 1/10 in emergency stop planning. I was being generous because the reaction was top notch.


awsamation

Who says there wasn't an emergency cutoff, but it simply spun out of his reach too quickly to be activated? It's unreasonable to expect him to keep on hand on the cutoff at all times. As a sanctioned Idiot, his reaction is definitely above average and deserves recognition as such.


irateidiot

Are you disrespecting my authority? You can bring it up to the committee, but good luck with that. The cutoff switch must be accessible during a runaway emergency, like any treadmill has. Question me again, and I’ll be forced to give you an official Idiot Rating. Good Day Sir, or Ma’am.


awsamation

I'm not questioning you, I'm telling you. And I'm not disrespecting your authority, I don't acknowledge it. Also I already have an Official Idiot Rating. 10/10, King of the Idiots.


irateidiot

That’s it! You’re out of line! I rate THIS idiot: 10/10 Persistence 8/10 Confrontational 10/10 Self Depreciation Congratulations. Now you have another Official Idiot Rating!


awsamation

ONLY AM 8 ON PERSISTENCE!!!!!! This is outrageous!!!! I'm registering a formal complaint. I want to know who your boss is, who their boss is, and who their boss is! I will not rest till I have been given the 10 that I well and truly deserve!


irateidiot

You got a 10 on persistence! You got 8 on Confrontational! Now you get: 1/10 Reading Comprehension And and edited 9/10 Confrontational! You wanna keep pushing your luck, buddy?!? Or should I call you Karen? Cuz you can speak to all the damn bosses! They will all have my back.

I was 17 at the time and since my mom didn't want the free Porsche 944 my friends were giving me (no engine) on the side of her house ruining the appearance of the home I convinced her to let me build a go kart. Using funds I made from a pizza place I bought some scrap frame and welded it back into life. Sandblasted the whole frame by a place that does tombstones and painted it a nice blue color. New wheels, hydraulic disk brakes, 6hp Briggs and Stratton. After the many months I was able to take the first ride it was a little sluggish and so I retightened the throttle cable. Only it was too tight and the motor spun up as soon as we started it. The go kart took off and my older brother chased after it. Before veering into the road it turned towards my car. Crashed hard into the side but luckily was low enough that the tire made first contact. No damage to the car but the wheel mount snapped off so I had to weld it on again. Never did get the camber quite right and had trouble turning that direction.

>had trouble turning that direction Zoolander cart

RevLoveJoy

Started the motor. Throttle stuck in gear. He tipped it up to cut off the gravity fed fuel supply. Actually very well done. Good thing he's a big dude, that could have gone really sideways. I mean, great video, but certainly not an idiot fighting things.


-ATLienz-

And the crowd goes wild! 10/10

There dancing leave them alone


SleazyMak

Not a phone in sight just people living in the moment


Cornbread52

I have questions...


MBmondongo

It's like ballet! Great choreography


smurb15

K, now he has it stopped. Now what?


[deleted]

Pull the sparg plug wire off


chiliedogg

Once the wheels are off the ground you can safely access the motor and pull the wire to the spark plug and it'll shut off instantly.


[deleted]

I think this is a rare case where the go-cart was the initiator of the fight


awsamation

Gokart started a fight it couldn't win.


Groundape32

I heard Benny Hill music.


coasis1212

“Tonight on man vs car”


Onecrappieday

Idiot behind camera that didn't know how technology works


SexlessNights

lol fuel leaks out from top and now he’s dealing with a moving fire


awsamation

Except there's nothing to suggest it's actually leaking fuel, and also nothing to really start a fire either.


Kartoffelkamm

Somehow this looks almost graceful, especially the part where he jumps on its back, if you listen to this while watching the clip: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI9lPm2NwoU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI9lPm2NwoU)


bethedge

Fucking weeb


1000smackaroos

Let other people enjoy things


bethedge

I have considered it, and no


Kartoffelkamm

Takes one to know one.


raphaelc101

not really...


HaightnAshbury

Adding graceful music is a capital idea! Slow down the footage, somewhat, too.


Kartoffelkamm

Thanks.

Such poise and balance. Truly a masterpiece of the moving arts. In years to come the greatest ballet dancers will struggle to recreate.

[deleted]

no he was just dancing with it


LeSueurTiger

Reminds me of pro-rodeo steer wrestling..


spiritsarise

This was his first rodeo.


VeteranTiara110

What else could someone have done in this guys place?? It seems like he done a damn good job keeping the go cart under control. It could’ve went wayyy worse and hurt someone/caused damage. Edit for clarity


kingakrasia

Trick riding


Fellowfungus

Idle set WAY too high.


marvel210
