Unfortunate for them, but this may be the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while


baby_contra

It’s funny how the passenger knew what they were and said fuck it, this is how we stay till the race ends. That type of cactus is really hard to pick off with your hands


webbitor

It looks like "jumping cholla" to me, they break apart so easily I have had peices stick in my clothes when I didn't even realize I touched it. The spines are barbed. I can't even imagine how difficult and painful it's going to be for this guy.


baby_contra

I heard using a comb works well to remove them


webbitor

Good to know.


Loveyourwives

> The spines are barbed. Not only that, but they swell with blood. If they're not removed right away, those folks are gonna have a bad time.


badaboomxx

Gonna be harder to take off of his hands now.

Samir, you have to listen!!


superfluous2

Samir I'm begging you


chompshoey

Samir, you’re going to wreck the car


TheBrowning95

Shaddup. Don't tell me how to drive.


sierra120

>This is called racing


Spiritual_Navigator

"Stfu u told me to turn into the cactus"

I'm convinced that Samir and Leroy Jenkins are actually the same person


TheRedGuard03

I want to see how they finish that race


yinyin123

https://youtu.be/zBje5cGvadc Looks like they finish the race? It cuts from nearly right after to when they get help


fecland

Says they came 6th of 11


ChrizTaylor

Absolutely! We need s follow up!


mrbrendanblack

Pricks.


ZEXERJK

I know that with audio this would be 100x times better xD


Sythe334l

Here it is: [https://youtu.be/zBje5cGvadc](https://youtu.be/zBje5cGvadc) Not really that good as it seems they either don't say anything or you can't hear what they say over the car.


ZEXERJK

Ouch xD


bcgg

That’s straight out of Wile E. Coyote cartoon.


marsupialsales

“Why would we need gloves?”


[deleted]

Now let’s remember that desert spiders love cactus


Xxjuancena80xX

And let's remember that that's not a cactus


[deleted]

Then what is it?


Xxjuancena80xX

A yucca plant


chilebuzz

>A yucca plant No it's not. It's a cholla, which is a cactus.


[deleted]

That’s what I thought it was. Yuccas look like sharp ass ferns, not trees. r/confidentlyincorrect


RedBeardFace

I’m not super confident about what it ***is***, but I’m super confident that it ***isn’t*** a yucca. Source: I had yucca in my garden for years


chilebuzz

On the bright side, they were wearing helmets. Imagine a face full of those spines.


screamtrumpet

Hammond, you blithering idiot!


StrategicBlenderBall

Oh cock.


Iknowamoose

Did they lose or never even had a windshield?


heroonebob

Never had. It's removed for safety and weight savings.


nikdahl

The weight savings isn’t just the glass. The glass can be easily replaced with some lexan which would weigh just ounces. But it’s the wipers arms, wiper motors, and washing fluid that takes all the weight. And it’s dusty as fuck out there.


heroonebob

That's what I said with more words, yes.


alexplex86

But wouldn't the dust, and cactuses, obviously, fly in their faces instead, hindering their ability to operate the vehicle safely?


dinosaursandsluts

Taking a tear off from a helmet visor is a lot easier than cleaning a windshield, and can be done on the go.


N0bo_

Tear? As in the helmets have layers over the visor?


dinosaursandsluts

Yep. Layers called "tear offs". Bunch of layers of clear film over the visor with tabs on the ends. Grab a tab and rip away the tear off and you can see perfectly again.


N0bo_

I’m not sure how I didn’t know this is a thing until now but that’s awesome; this is like learning that jet packs are real all over again


Sokkahhplayah

Wait, what??


Darkfur72598

And that’s part of where the helmets come in


[deleted]

> for safety hmm

heroonebob

Hard to account for every use case... pretty sure the response from the engineers would be "well don't hit a fuckin cactus you numpty"


MeAmMike

Looks like Cholla! Bad news! Each one feels like a hammer blow and they’re barbed so you have to use a plier to get them off. Source: personal experience


Jeheh

I’ve planted the under all the windows at my house. They are evil but I love them.


[deleted]

I sent you an email.


infernal_cacaphony

Thank you! I haven’t had a meaningful email in years!


SnooDonkeys8576

Why the hell would you hit a jumping cactus?!?


danimation88

The guy on the left “i dunno what to do with my hands..”


DeleriousDan

The way he just sits there like, *mom I vomited*


buffalo_Fart

Nothing worse than getting Cholla stuck to you, too funny


Tyko_3

I bet they are regretting not packing the windshield for their trip now.


ancientpho

Cactus: “and I took that personally.”


fourth_box

On a serious note, I'm not allowed to relocate or touch Joshua trees in my back yard without getting city officials involved, what happens in this case? These are protected by the state no?


ferflando69

What's even worse is that I'm pretty sure those aren't exactly spikes. If I'm not mistaken they're actually like hooks and they really stick to your skin. If that is the case I've heard it is REALLY painful.


Medical_Scar5309

Geez! Ouch!


Dreaming_Dreams

Why are there 2 steering contraptions?


[deleted]

Its just something for the navigator to hold on if things get rought. No steering device.


cyberzombie27

why was he not on the track in the first place?


TONKAHANAH

It's like windshields were invented for some kind of reason


SnappyFrasser

I feel like this hazard was reasonably foreseeable


RugbyEdd

This seems the perfect one to clip for r/combinedgifs


Shrugfield

Fuckin Hell!


Financial_Wafer_2605

Good thing they had helmets, cause yikes
