I feel really bad for Two people without sharks, it had strong wheels, a sturdy structure, a streamline body and steering that worked (I think) their soapbox was the only one in this compilation that looked like it would be sturdy enough to get down, but the brakes seized up at the worse possible time. I hope they try again some day
I'm not sure it was even the brakes. You can see their front left wheel is turned inward regardless of where the other one goes. I assume whatever's making that happen is to blame.
First source of failure : Direction by swing front axle are bad. Very bad. Any bump on one side can send you crashing. Then, to narrow for the height. You need the centre of gravity to be as low as possible. Third fail : To short. It take a minimum length to have any control.
I'm surprised you didn't include Speed Soap Fire Hidrant from the 2019 Soapbox in Lithuania, that one was such a disaster as it only went like 3 meters and only just touched the tarmac!! 😂 I also remember there was one with two dinosaurs in Croatia with their car I think being a dino egg (don't know the name), and as they went down the start ramp, the front wheels (bicycle wheels and frame pieces) instantly collapsed. 😝 Although in this case, the Venus one may actually take the cake. (And you missed/also forgot to show that besides getting stuck on the barriers, the Mystery Machine also lost a wheel which flew off the side and popped. 😂)
Do the rules not allow them to test the cars befors the race? I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't want to push it down your drivway or across a parking lot before a race.
This is what happens when people think they know about wheels, steering, and suspension geometry. I had no idea this kind of thing happens. I love these soap box derbies. I might build one for the us race in 2024. By the way, been a master tech and fabricator for 44 plus years. I love it.
Seeing whether the ride that you threw together with your friends will make it to the finish line in one piece is like half the fun for the people who build these
The Rick n Morty one was hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣2:46
That crazy taxi looked like they just bolted some bicycle wheels to a forklift pallet!

@@bolbyballinger good catch
I liked the shark people. They seemed to have a good time anyway

The look on her face. As a man, I never want to see that look in the bedroom hahah
Crazy Taxi and The Mystery Machine, were my favourites but I enjoyed seeing them all
1. No respect for Gravity.
2. NO Breaks.
3. No learning from past.
Enjoy Everybody 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

More like "Lazy Taxi". I'll be here all night!
The FORD testing facilities were doing better than normal... 🤣🤣
Just like the classic arcade version of Crazy Taxi which is more like Broken Taxi.
How is this NOT an Olympic sport???
Agreed. It's more important.
10:28 Gus Fring: 🤣🤣🤣

I do love the Brazilian (mouse) in the waxbox race....eh soapbox race💯👍💯
the first one ate the ground for free
Quiero participar un dia en ésto 😂

I watched enough of these to know: NEVER use bike wheels.
mystery machine
When some contestants learn that rolling and steering are basic design parameters.
0:47 DOWN GOES FRAZER!
Próximamente en Perú 23 de noviembre 2024 jajaja yo voy a participar así que yo me estoy preparando para los golpes jajaja 😂😂
If they spent some thought and time for the build they mite just make it down the ramp.
Why do they always put the small wheel in the front?
Did all these people skip physics and shop class at the same time?
bike wheels seem only good for bikes. wagon wheels around 200mm or great diameter work better. I think around 12in/300mm diameter maybe even better.
Rear-wheel steering? Really?? 😆
What in The Little Rascals is this
We did better aged 9. But how? We were only 9.
" the titanic in 1912 was better
In stark contrast, that was built fantastically and worked perfectly, it just had a massive stroke of horrible luck
Testing should be mandatory before a race.
hell no lol

No surprise the women's soapbox wouldn't even roll past the start line
Nacho libre is gay like jack black what did they expect
