"It's a sliding scale of insanity."
"I'm in charge of disorganization."
Less than 2 minutes in... and the quotes are OFF the freaking charts!
Much love to Mike to attempting this.
why did I yell, "IT DOES" at my computer when Mike said if insanity runs in your family?
I mean, just because the VA told me I am a "danger to the public and myself" that I am a psychopath, and that I don't have enough tethering me to reality...... That doesn't mean I am insane, right? The docs never said that i was insane, just the other stuff. =)
As an old man myself, that misses my younger, careless days, THIS LOOKS POSITIVITY AWESOME!!!
Mike Rowe is a smart guy lol playing the role of the ‘everyday man’ meanwhile he’s off living the wild life of a man that very few get to ever get to experience. He’s done it all !
Don't worry Mike, once the competition in you takes over, your commonsense will lower dramatically 😁
Agreed. 2 guys doing anything next to eachother turns into a competition.
😂
lol.. accurate.
Nuff said
Just wanna say to the guys who built the trophy; wow what an amazing piece you guys built! Really that was something special. Kudos to your hard work and gorgeous trophy.
Best one I’ve ever seen 💥💥💥🙏🏻
I think that means he has to bring it back next year and compete, to keep it! Could get very fun 👍🏼👍🏼
My 71-year-old kid brain is saying, "Yes, try it!" My last brain cell of sanity is casting a veto vote.
Amen! Boy if my back was still functional, I’d be all in on the cars. The trikes are a hard no for me.
This was filmed 9 or 10 years ago if I recall correctly - I was in this race but haven't been with this group since 2015 and I'm not even sure they race anymore at all. Gravity racing is a ton of fun, and Mike was great to work with from what I remember - he wanted to learn and have fun and share our stories.
Memory recall? 🤔 Head injuries?! 😅😅
Is there a weight handicap rule? Or is the few extra pounds your wife would like you to lose come in handy?
@@spikespa5208 For the spec class (race 1), that extra weight would come in handy. But we ran with a maximum car+driver weight limit for the open class (race 2, which I raced in)
@@jerm1386 Thanks fer the info. Puts our Flexi-Racer racing as a kid to shame
This looked like a whole lotta fun! Thanks for another great episode!
From dirty jobs that I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy to doing things I can only dream of Mike knows how to live! Thanks for over a decade of entertainment!
Those little cars remind me of the little rascals movie 😂
OMG! I'm laughing so hard, especially after you said you peed a little. This by far is my favorite episode.
This looks like so much fun!
The further down the scale of insanity you slide, the faster you go and the more fun you have!!! Keep slidin’ Mike!!
Gravity racing is a lot of fun. Been riding motorcycles for 55+ years. We used to take our bikes way up to the top of a mountain or ridge, shut them off and race each other all the way to the bottom. Hanging off the side tucked in and passing cars at the same time, crazy fun . 😂😂
Friend and I did that on the east side of Independance Pass in Colorado on our trip out to Arkansas summer of '77, 12 miles all gravity. Still remember that ride
AWESOME!! WE LAUGHED THE WHOLE VIDEO!! GREAT BUNCH OF PEOPLE!!!
LOOKS LIKE FUN!!!! bE SAFE EVERYONE. THANK YOU MIKE!!!!
There are very few men that I wish I was.
But Mike Rowe is one of them.
Mike, I've had your "Work Smart -Not- And Hard" poster for years. I've always lived by that, because of my grandfathers and father, as well as always giving the benefit-of-the-doubt to everyone.
I like and follow you, because you remind me of the men that raised me.
Thanks, Mike, for stepping up and showing everyone how the world really is!
I'd love to meet Mike one day.
Same
Wish he would do meet and greets across the US.
This needs to be a series I'd totally watch this
Hey Mikey! I liked this video very much. Where else can it all go "Down Hill" from the start.
Except the excitement, mirth, mayhem, fun, laughter and yes, Mikey. Your added charisma to
action sequences. Kudos to the "MISFITS", your team and you, too Mikey... Cheers, Mate.
Haven't laughed that hard in weeks, months? Outstanding show and congratulations to those who survived.
Yoooo I’ve been looking for this for years! That’s my Dad and our old race group! Entire day was an absolute blast and Mike was a delight to be around. So many memories from this day omg
Mike Rowe can make an entertaining story out of anything.
I used to ride my skateboard going down tall parking garages. I laughed all the way through this video.
New racing nickname for Mr. Mike … “Death Rowe”! 😂😂😂
Mike rowe for president 2024!
"Fran and Fred became *fast* friends" I see you Mike
Great video, never to late to have fun.
Been local to this all my life and never knew it was right in my backyard. Definitely going to check them out!
Looks like a lot of fun, great show Mike !
Cheers from Texas 🤠
Always fun to watch. Better safe at home in my lift chair. GO MIKE!!
This was great to watch from my recliner!!!😂😂
(Terrified of going fast downhill after a huge bike accident...ended up hitting a concrete wall to break my fall from going off a giant hill.)
I am with you👍. Feet off the and SAFE.
This is my favorite episode so far 😂 Mike on a big wheel who nu? Lol
what a wonderful way to have fun!! thx Mike!!
I love that trophy!! 😎👍
Absolutely frightening and hilarious - kudos my man !
Another great segment from Mike "Slow" Rowe. Glad you're still in one piece.
This put such smile on my face. I wish I could give it more than just a thumbs up. I like Mike’s videos but this one was super fun to watch.❤
Awesome Mike! Looks like a riot!!
I truly love these Somebody's Got To Do It videos.
Hello MISFITS!!! My god the amount of ingenuity in my neighborhood-flat Houston so we had to build our own tracks. We had engineer dads come round and help us! I was one regular staple coz the guys had more fun to me than the girls! We built ERRYTHANG we had-including soapbox racers! There was not an old lawnmower, bicycle, baby buggy LEFT in our neighborhood with wheels!!! Our moms collectively banded together and MADE us RECYCLE all those(as opposed to backyard boneyards) so our forts, treehouses, and anything else we made had material, metal, handlebars everywhere 😂then one year made a Xmas tree with all the ‘stuff’ we’d collected! Everyone came to see it! Conversations were hilarious and we always had a winner for contributions too! Brownies cakes casseroles for the best designs! Mrs browns cake was coveted-red velvet!!! Memories of hearing ‘but you’re a GIRL!’ Yup-scootch over-lemme SHOW you how it’s done!’😂😂😂🙏🏻❤️
Lived in and around Catonsville and never seen any of this! Would have loved to have been apart of this when I lived there.. Man I sure miss going to that old candy shop right on old Frederick rd. Moved out to Salisbury Maryland once I had a daughter so I've been out here now for the last 12 or 13 years I guess. lol
wow same here only been in salisbury for 2 years now
That was cool. I recall that big kid Big Wheel downhill racing was a staple at Travis Pastrana's house with more than a few calls for a "Waahhh-ambulance.
Mike.You a thing of beauty.Loved it.
So good! Your all a little touched! Love the trophy!
awesome ep, mike seemed to have so much fun on this one
I'm watching every episode. Mike, you haven't put out a dud yet! I don't think it's possible!
Awesome Mr Rowe.
We have gravity sports here in Australia... I mean besides trying to save a beer from spilling at all costs.
it just goes backwards in upside down land
My kind of country. And I think I have relatives there.
Now, that’s something they didn’t think of. A cupholder for your beer
So as a child it's called soapbox racing, when you're older it's called gravity racing. Makes sense to me, as you age life goes faster and gravity plays havoc on the body. 😊😊😊
Always entertaining. Love you Mike
Good stuff Mike..you are the man..👍😎
Love your shows. It's crazy
Great episode
Outstanding! The roller derby was much more dangerous I think
Mike, that was awesome!!! Great video clip. As a 35 year old man I would love to try that as well.
Mike Rowe is a national treasure! Stay awesome
Thanks for all of your stuff Mike! You seem like an old friend. Still.🙂
This is one of my favourite examples of why Mike Rowe is awesome. When the video started I thought "Oh, yeah I'd do that" and it turned into a wtf at the speeds they were going.
Man, that looks fun as heck.
I lived in a town that still has soapbox derby races. Lived about a block from the hill street they blocked off and ran on. Watched them every time.😊🏆🔥👍
You guys find the best people.
Love Mike Rowe, As a trainer on a coal mine one nightshift i showed an episode of dirty jobs as a pick out dangerous actions session. After we got fogged out.
Love it!!
This looks like so much fun
Oh, man! I gotta try that before I die. Come to think of it, that might be how I'll go!!
That was pretty awesome and amazing.
Now that looks like fun. woopeeeee.
Toooo cool
Keep doin what your doin.
Love it
Cheers:):):)
Thought the way it went should have been - Last Place - Middle - First. Mike you did it bassackwords. Loved that "Trophy" at the end. Real Gear Head and no pun on the other show either.
Hey Mike keep your hands and feet inside at all times 🤣🤣 Oh and keep your feet off the breaks 🤣🤣 Way to go Mike Rowe I loved this video !!! 💯❤️😇🙏🙌👍
You’re all crazy. Love u Mike!

Thank goodness Mike just stayed micro-agressive. I don't think we could take a Mac Rowe aggressive Mike Rowe. 😂
Well played, sir.
Well played.
Mac Rowe = dang tricky.
@@martincolvill5453 why, thank you kindly, ma'am. A tip of the hat to ya.
I'm a female, btw. Not a sir. But, since my avatar is a bird, I guess ya wouldn't know.
@cjgia4898
My abject apologies for my goof.
Ghezz what a way to get Gravel Rash on the Bottom parts. Lol
That's an awesome idea
Welcome home to MD, Mike!
When i was little i wanted to make and race a soapbox derby car so freaking bad after watching The Little Rascals LOL
Formula Atlantic is so rad, I've had three of the OEM versions of engines they used.
Never touch the brakes is the same mantra for coast racing motorcycles !!
I have definitely seen and handled a lot simpler 5 point harnesses😭😭 holy that looked like hell.
This is cool thx
This is SO DAMN heartwarming!~
