I'm thinking the the whole injury-accident/time-to-gear-up thing is an elaborate scheme to keep his video channel updated while he's off surfing in Malibu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Marty looks pretty damn good for his age. I haven't been that slim since my teens; and even that might be revisionist history on my part 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been that slim since my teens; and even that might be revisionist history on my part For his age? For any age, although you have me wondering what age that might be...I was just referring to the facts: 1) no witnesses to the accident; 2) the camera was somehow "turned off" at the time; 3) there is no medical evidence of injury beyond his testimonials; 4) he was planning to teach his wife to ride, and 5) in every video or picture I've seen since the "accident" the true identity of the rider is hidden. I'm pretty sure the real Marty Backe is on a break snorkeling in Laguna Beach right now and having a good chuckle at us northern folk battling the winter elements. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoother Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) So what you're saying is, just like Top Gear's Stig, the character playing Marty (AKA The Mig) might be hiding his true identity behind the helmet, thereby making himself effectively immortal. A bit like The Dread Pirate Roberts, of The Princess Bride film. Just one thing....who's doing the voice overs? It's very convincing. For any age, that's true.

A system called Lyrebird announced last summer could do this, but they seem to have mysteriously disappeared as well. Google's product WaveNet might also be able to manage it. More details on the tech involved here. Quoting: "A technology that can be used to quickly manipulate audio will even call into question the veracity of real-time video in live streams."
