Cypress Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 The bike won't be able to to it right. The trick is to pull the cloth at a downward angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likwid Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Watching it too.1.) The video by BMW is fake, that's pretty much known2.) Pretty impressive results on run 23.) I think their ultimate problem is the table cloth flairing when the rope first gets tout (sp)4.) inb4 "(insert japaneeez bike) could do it" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Just watched the original video. It is tied to the tail, almost level with the table so that isn't it.I never got around to watching the video. We're not allowed to watch YouTube vids at work. Was the "almost level" just off by a few degrees? I'm sure that would matter if it was angled up or down by just a tad.http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/00000131The trick is to grab the ends of the tablecloth with both hands and quickly pull the cloth straight down and away from the table. The key is the quick, downward motion - almost like you're whipping or yanking the cloth away. Keep saying to yourself, “Pull down… not out.” Make sure to pull perpendicular to the table and not at an inclined angle.http://www.ehow.com/way_5829338_table-cloth-tricks.htmlGrab the ends of the tablecloth nearest you. The ends should be draped over the edge of the table. Use both hands and make a quick, downward motion with your hands to pull the tablecloth off the table. Pull it straight down toward the floor from the edge for the best results.Maybe I'm nuking it a little, but oh well I'm bored at work.

chevysoldier Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I don't know if it was off just a little bit from being even with the table or not. They even tried pulling it out going 100mph and couldn't do it. They figured it was fake and ended up performing it by cheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I imagine it could be done, maybe if they had a jet car, and put a rolling bar at the edge to keep the tablecloth from breaking the plane of the table when the rope gets tight.

JaSSon Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I thought it was strange they used an EBRacing bike. They usually cover up any and all logos and brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
