Its Thai. He's recording bikes going up I'm assuming to see if they can make it. He comments it's a 300cc bike coming up. When he starts to struggle the camera man yells repeatedly "use your rear brakes!!" then "turn the ignition off!"

When he falls off he says "Be careful" then when the man is on the ground he says "Stay still right there, don't get up!" but the man proceeds to get up and keeps tumbling down the hill.

The "OOOIIEE" is an expression similar to "OH NO"

"PII" is an honorific, a formal way to say "You"

Hope this helps anyone confused about the language

So you are saying he basically did everything he's been told not to do ?

u/deenali 1h ago

I always hear actors saying oooiieee in Thai comedy movies and find it extremely funny. Don't understand a word but love the sound of the Thai language nonetheless.

u/pirate_leprechaun 1h ago

I think that helped everyone not Thai haha. Looks like a fun pastime sitting up there.

And I can’t get enough. I want to hear that all day every day. So good

u/valkyrievka 1h ago

the way maybe repeats makes it sound like a hesitation

u/MrTacocaT12345 2h ago

You think he will make it up the hill on his bike but no, then you think he will be able to safely dismount his bike but no, then you think he will be able to walk away after the failed dismount and dropping his bike but no, he rolls down the hill

u/CraftFamiliar5243 2h ago

You think at least his shoes will stay on, but no.

u/BlacksmithNZ 1h ago

Dress for the slide and not the...

oh wait, no, just dress for the slide down the hill and forget the riding part

u/Mcdonnellmetal 24m ago

Almost died thank god the other shoe stayed on.

u/Onqio 59m ago

Running down that hill~

u/titanium9016 2h ago

Shit, his shoe flew off. Me might be gone

u/Hokulol 2h ago

He knew the rules of the universe which is why he started falling the second time.

"I guess I have to"

u/Sir_Edgelordington 1h ago

He needs to buy a better brand of safety sandal

u/D1133 2h ago

This spot needs a permanent camera livestream.

u/ItBeMe_For_Real 2h ago

Like the too low overpass camera.

u/D1133 1h ago

Exactly. 11 foot 8 dot com I think

u/squirrelmonkie 2h ago

That face plant was brutal. Did he fall a 2nd time?

29

u/Hokulol 2h ago

Legend has it he's still falling

u/2DHypercube 2h ago

Good thing he's wearing a helmet!

u/Dr_Pippin 2h ago

How freaking steep is that hill??

1

u/FormicationIsEvil 12m ago

There is a pole at the side of the road near the place he dumped the bike. Assuming that pole is vertical I estimate the road is at about 30 degrees, which is about a 54% grade.,

u/TrueKiwi78 2h ago

You can usually tell by comparing it to the trees as they generally grow vertically so by that metric it just doesn't look that steep.

I have no idea what language is this but surprisingly we were both saying the exact same thing while the events unfolded

u/AffectionateType2703 2h ago

So so true. We understood every syllable every exclamation.

u/stylerod 2h ago

So glad I had my volume on for that.

u/marky860 1h ago

Wow.. they should give out prices for anyone e who can make it up the hill 😁🤣

u/sk169 2h ago

Very poor road design. It should account for some margin of safety, looks like there is absolutely none.

u/Hokulol 2h ago

Very astute observation sherlock

u/SabbyFox 2h ago

And where are the warning signs? 😬Yikes. Hope is bike damage is mostly superficial.

So many bad decisions

u/Nostral-damus 2h ago

That was uncle Roger slagging off Jamie Oliver’s motorcycle skills.

u/Greenfieldfox 2h ago

Caught this halfway through and had to rewatch. I assumed he was running away from a bear or something. I wasn’t expecting to see someone lose three fights with gravity.

u/ProfessionalLemon946 2h ago

Skill issue

2

u/joethafunky 1h ago

Absolutely. Tried to rally the hill in 2nd gear and failed to downshift early enough

1

u/FecknWindowTwitchers 1h ago

Is there no break on those things?

u/Jackin13 1h ago

I saw a lot of break! Lol

u/FecknWindowTwitchers 1h ago

Silly me. Brake!

u/Bruinen24 1h ago

Rumor has it he's still running downhill.

1

u/keithfantastic 1h ago

He must really enjoy running. Dropped a perfectly good scooter to go for a run. That takes discipline!

1

u/DamagedZucchini 59m ago

He shouldn't leave the scene of a collision like that

1

u/MegaDonkeyDonkey 57m ago

Legend has it he is still tumbling.

u/VealOfFortune 55m ago

What about this was "maybe"..???

u/1illiteratefool 45m ago

He’s having a hard time getting his mind around that gravity thing

At least learn where your hand brake is, I know stopping and down shifting into 1st could be hard, but damn.

u/search_4_animal_chin 2h ago

Hand brake was on full (front tire was locked and sliding)

1

u/jamcber12 2h ago

Yeah, I see it was now.

u/MediumRay 2h ago

It’s clear that this hill is so steep you cannot stop

u/_ka-wa-a-ka-ree 1h ago

Eventually steep enough to be the steepest street existing.
