WTF. That seems like a dumb idea. Maybe its safe for the 'copter and bikes but seems sketchy

That must be dodgy as. Surely if they got caught on a tree it would bring the chopper down in a flash...

No, because A.they wouldn't fly that low and B. if that did happen the pilot would just press a button in the cockpit to drop all of the bikes.

flag KING1307 (Mar 19, 2009 at 20:27)
obviously not, think about how the chopper would take off and damage all the bikes if the bikes were pre clipped, im sure they just clipped a bike, chopper went up 5 feet, then do it again, wouldnt take that long.

Do you realize how much fuel that would waste? Anyway they just lay the rope down attach all the bikes then hook it up to the helicopter and it takes off. They are farthenough appart they dont hit eachother.

and it lifts straight so the bikes would scratch just lift.

sorry, and the chopper lifts it straight up, so they wouldn't scratch, just lift.

looks funny.. but a simple crate would do too if not better.. this will only cost more manpower picking up and off again.. and prob. carry less bikes ! !
and this chopper can never be cheaper than a bunch of bikes.. try buying one.. you will be scared of the price.. Wink
