You know the moment; when you get overly cocky and feel that you’re invincible and super talented, which might be okay and prove harmless when, let’s say, you’re solving a crossword puzzle, but not so much when you’re operating a machine, driving a car or riding a bike…
It only takes a few seconds into the video to see that this bicyclist was going a bit too fast, especially given the terrain of the Whistler Mountain Bike Park track in BC, Canada.
He successfully completes the first, second and third jump, seemingly going faster and faster each time, until he reaches the big fourth jump and realizes that he just run out of luck.
“I was knocked out for 3 minutes,” says the rider on the video. At least he was able to tell the story, that has to count for something, right?
