  • - Hello, I'm Gav. - I'm Dan.

  • Welcome to the "The Super Slow Show."

  • You've joined us here on a nice, sunny day at our pool.

  • - Lovely, isn't it? - Lovely.

  • We're just relaxing

  • because we've been told our special guest

  • is definitely going to be late,

  • but is also definitely arriving in style, whatever that means.

  • - That's what I've heard. - Yeah.

  • - ( motorcycle rumbling ) - You hear something?

  • - Ahh. What is that? - Something in the distance?

  • - He did arrive in style. - He did.

  • That's what it means. Fair play.

  • ( theme music playing )

  • Dan: He's doing a wheelie, for goodness sake.

  • As if the entrance wasn't good enough,

  • you had to wheelie up to us.

  • Well, I figured since you guys gave me such a sweet neck brace here

  • on "The Super Slow Show,"

  • that I should give you guys a little wheelie show.

  • Gav: This is Andy Bell, who just jumped over our pool

  • with a Phantom on his head, which isn't light.

  • It's a Phantom Miro.

  • It's a smaller one than what we usually use,

  • but it's still-- it's not small.

  • I thought helmet-camera technology was getting better these days.

  • This is, like, about a 25-pound dumbbell on my head.

  • I have to say that was the best entrance I've seen

  • to a Slow Mo Guys video, and I'm very jealous.

  • You know, I wish I could do that.

  • If you did this better than you did skateboarding,

  • you would be fine.

  • So, apparently, you're going to do a pretty sweet stunt on this pool.

  • Would you like to describe the stunt for us?

  • "Apparently," um...

  • This is where things get kind of sketchy.

  • Um, we have a pool.

  • It's not that big,

  • so we're going to go corner to corner.

  • Skimming a pool has only been done a couple time successfully.

  • Wait. So you're going to ride the bike across the pool.

  • The plan is to ride the bike across the pool.

  • You're going to try and ride the bike across the pool.

  • I'm going to try and ride the bike across the pool.

  • Supposedly-- I'm no mathematician--

  • but supposedly there's something called surface tension

  • that will keep me afloat

  • if I'm going fast enough.

  • Problem is is I don't know how fast "fast enough" is.

  • You guys have lab coats. Can you tell me?

  • - Um, I'll tell you what. - This one's just for show.

  • As fast as you can go, I guess.

  • All right, we'll get out of your hair,

  • set up some cameras, and then it's all you.

  • So I was going to say Andy's about to defy physics,

  • but really he's just going to prove physics right now.

  • Dan: I'm psyching myself up for him.

  • - I'm nervous for him. - Gav: I'm nervous, too.

  • - Go on. - He's got the speed.

  • Go on.

  • - Go on! - He is bookin' it.

  • Dan: You got this! You got this!

  • ( together ) Yeah!

  • - He did it. - Yeah!

  • - Like it was nothing. - Nailed it.

  • He just did it like it was nothing.

  • Celebratory wheelie.

  • Oh!

  • You did it. Congrats.

  • - Oh, that is so scary. - ( both laugh )

  • All that buildup?

  • All that buildup and it's done.

  • Like it was nothing.

  • I bet the buildup was worse than actually doing it, right?

  • - Yeah. - You just went straight across there.

  • Surface tension, lab coat guy.

  • Yeah, you just proved physics.

  • I knew that would happen. Yeah.

  • Yeah, you knew. You told me.

  • You told me to go that speed, too. Thank you.

  • Would you like to see that back in wonderful slow motion?

  • Um, yeah, let's take a look and see what happened.

  • Ahh. Nice A.C.

  • Oh, it's nice in here.

  • - ( grunts ) Don't wanna crash. - ( metal clatters )

  • Don't worry about it. Typical. It's a cheap table.

  • Dan: Even the pelican's, like, watching you.

  • - He just cocked his head. - He's like, "What's gonna happen here?"

  • "Pelican"? It's a flamingo.

  • Oh, flamingo, whatever.

  • - Dan: Look at that. - Andy: Whoa!

  • Dan: It looks like it's the road.

  • Guess you can ride on water.

  • With hair like that you can.

  • Andy: Well, it looks like the back tire actually went deeper

  • and then came up.

  • Gav: It's really cool because the individual grips on the tires

  • separates out the water with the air,

  • and then your foot, like, kicks it at the back--

  • - Andy: Oh, and then spreads it-- - Gav: And spreads it out more.

  • Andy: Yeah you can see how far I got kicked.

  • Gav: You were on the ground, in the water, and then in the air

  • within about one second.

  • Wow, yeah. No wonder I was having trouble braking,

  • because I didn't even get to hit the brakes

  • about 60 feet after the pool.

  • Andy, that was insane.

  • Classic footage.

  • Gotta be the best thing I've ever seen

  • anyone do on this channel, and I'm glad about it

  • because I'm never going to be able to do anything that good.

  • That's a pretty big accolade. Thank you.

  • Dan: It was amazing.

  • Gav: That was some of the best-looking

  • slow-mo footage I've ever seen.

  • Andy: Coming from you, you've seen a little bit of it.

  • - Seen a lot, yeah. - Dan: I was so pumped for you.

  • I was just like, "Come on, come on" all the way,

  • on the way for you to actually do the stunt.

  • Yeah, my heart was racing.

  • I can't imagine what yours was doing.

  • It was terrible.

  • You definitely deserve a "Super Slow Show" lab coat, Andy.

  • Yeah!

  • You can either wear it or just clean your bike with it.

  • This is awesome, guys. Thank you so much.

  • I feel like I'm part of the team.

  • I don't have the cool British accent,

  • but I got a Canadian one, so...

  • Absolutely part of the team.

  • You risked this for us.

  • Yes, I did.

  • Well, thanks very much for lending us your guts.

  • Thanks, guys. Thank you so much.

  • And thank you for watching.

  • Is there any reason why I'm not wearing a shirt at this point?
