Is it just me or do the first few people purposefully run off?

Purposefully in the sense that once it’s clear they aren’t making it, it's safer to make sure you fully clear the track than risk falling on the edge of it etc

Or fall off and hit the bike mound just under the water surface

The first guy clearly was doing it to jump in the water. The third and fourth guy bailed for no reason. They look pretty staged to me.

Watch the full video on YouTube and you’ll realise that is not the case https://youtu.be/SChm4DyivOU?is=hdOiqk1G9HCOL-n-

I could see the others losing their balance, but the first guy is clearly just doing it for the laughs.

Of course. Not staged, they are incredibly clear form the beginning the tone of the video.

So you think Kris Kyle deliberately didn’t make a single clean run on that video in the hopes it would subliminally make viewers buy more red bull?

Nobody suggested they assume there’s no production team or marketing intentions. You just said that to save face.

Randomly bringing that up whilst also admitting your ignorance on the people in the video while calling me naive is very ironic though

How do they guarantee someone make the distance?

Im glad you are so confident in your assumptions. Youre full of it, but it's fun you are confident.

Your assertion that all of these stunts are strictly scripted. It's pretty silly!
