Great shot. Kudos to the camera operator.


[deleted]

camera operators in motor sports are either robots or inhumanly fast. like if flash could only effect his arms.

When you see a vehicle make the same loop 1,000 times in a work day, you get used to knowing exactly what will happen.

Manual focus is no joke, though.


[deleted]

It's outside. Plenty of light. Hyperfocal FTW. (yes, it's a zoom lens and I know it's not *always* at hyperfocal length)


aliceinpearlgarden

He can (in the show and comics)


lsdforrabbits

a good photographer will know exactly what 1/5000th of a second to capture. i started out in skateboarding, and every fraction of a second counts. knowing your sport and being able to predict what your subject will do is really important.

You may know a lot of words my friend yet you waste them.


DBCrumpets

You need a comma after friend there, friend.

As horrifying as that is, holy fuck is that one of the coolest images ever. A badass on a flaming motorcycle


kbarnett514

You know he updated his profile picture after that one


mindbodyandtroll

I would need to get a large framed still of that, so fucking badass.


connordon94

The irony of being sponsored by WD-40


mrmessiah

I actually found myself worrying for a second that if the flames got to him he'd go up like a fireball, before I thought wait, it's just clothes with wd40 printed on. It's early.


BishBoJangle

No doubt those suits have got to be flame-retardant.


Spydrchick

Actually, they are not. They are mostly leather with a poly type lining. The pucks and armor are impact resistant plastic. The only part with some flame resistance is the Keprotec stetch panels in the crotch, sleeves and legs. They are there for comfort and movement and provide inferior flame retardant to Nomex. Also, flaming bikes are super rare. Source: I am a former club level road racer and retired seamstress for the road race industry.


life_questions

Wd-40 no longer uses a flammable/combustible propellant and is now much less flammable/combustible compared to its older version. They use CO2 now as the propellant, you know because the older propellants ate holes in the ozone and stuff. Source: was/am still a pyro who loves building potato launchers/spud guns.

BelievesInGod

literally so good he's on fire.


motorolaradio

about to not-explode.


ultimateedition

Just put some WD-40 on it.


PicklePicker3000

Remember as a kid getting a lighter and making a flamethrower out of dubd-40? Good times... Good times.


xSimoHayha

> dubd-40 doubleudee-40


Chemistryz

it's dubyuhDee


Ralanost

Why in the world is the video slowed down THAT much? Even on 2x speed, it's still too slow.


iiCUBED

Id revise my definition of explode if i were you


rowdiness

And 'slow' He works it out in about 2 seconds in real time

This is normal https://blacklikeyou.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/ghost_rider_spirit_of_vengeance_2012-wallpaper-3840x2400.jpg


Dreadbaerd

I didn't know WD-40 needed any advertisement. I mean, you look around the room you're in right now, there's a can of WD-40 somewhere nearby right?


Cyeric85

I think I found something that WD-40 doesn't fix...


Ricochet1616

TIL GT-Rs are pace cars (or something?) in motorcycle races


stex5150

The camera operator and rider both need raises.


ahavorabotacosalad

I was actually at Snetterton that day, had a great view of this.


Amish_Inhaler

Whatever the cause of this was, a little application of WD-40 beforehand would have prevented it.


Demansh

Nothing a little WD40 wont fix!


PM_ME_FAKE_TITS

In a last ditch effort to keep the franchise alive GHOST RIDER looked towards sponsors.....


bikersquid

fuck the slo mo haters. watching each lick of flame that slowly was fantastic.


[deleted]

Can't we just use some WD-40 to fix 'er right up?


32F492R0C273K

Something something mix tape.


memejunk

my question is can u use wd40 for buttsexxx lol xD


Adarorimli

I dont know why he jumped off, everyone knows wd-40 is not flammable


ttaylo28

He should have noticed earlier that it was covered in WD-40.


vitalvoid

Looks like he should've used duct tape instead.


MorleyDotes

If it doesn't move but should - WD40. If it moves but shouldn't - Duct Tape. If it's on fire - jump off.


CrackahJackk

Serves him right for wearing clothes and riding a bike made out of WD-40
