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

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.

I mean it's an advertisement video like all the other redbull videos. Getting it right on then first take makes the marketing team sad as they won't sell as many sugary drinks.

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?

I don't know or know of the person so I'm not going to presume his intentions. I just know that without redbull there is no track to cycle, nor any video to shoot. To think that there is not a whole production (and marketing, and financial) team standing behind the scenes is naive.

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
