Few of us wanted to live-out many of the scenes of Dumb and Dumber, but if Harry and Lloyd could make it to Aspen on this "hog," these guys thought they could to. Spines and mini-bikes weren't built for this. A few tire changes and a brake adjustment later and they made it to aspen on about 7 gallons of gas. It's surprisingly wholesome, especially since they didn't kill a man in a diner or give a blind kid a dead bird.
Not sure how open container laws work wherever they are, but it stands to reason that if that guy wasn't good to drive, he probably wouldn't be nearly as capable of balancing a full glass of beer on his head while riding.
An accidental sudden lurch forward was all it took for this dude's bike to turn over at the second-to-worst-possible time. If only the bike was another few inches away it could have been fine. Could he have pulled it out of the way? Maybe. Maybe it's also understandable to not want to be in that situation with a train barreling straight at you.
This kid learned to ride a bike and then leveled up further when he rapped off a solid, motivational speech. Basically, we should all feel happy of ourselfs. Let that be the new mantra that guides you through the rollercoaster of 2021.
With the wonderful advent of sports/action camera technology we get to see the first person account of someone landing a jump wrong, getting thrown off their bike, and groaning in the bushes. What a time to be alive.
It's not good business practice to abuse the person you're trying to buy from, and it's even worse stealing practice to tell a dude you're gonna steal from him then ask for their address after the fact. There are entitled people out there who just think they can have stuff, like this entitled dad who wanted free art and childcare.
This bicyclist, who was going the wrong way, hit a pedestrian who wasn't using the crosswalk. There's an argument to be made about who was more wrong, but these guys didn't have it. They had a very short conversation about their predicament and went their separate ways.
It was the world championship road race in Yorkshire. German Dario Gomez Becerra from Colombia had a catastrophic bike failure that left him on the side of the road. He expected to get picked up and...didn't. And the camera guy just followed him while the announcers talked about how sad it as. It's kinda hard to watch. You just want to give the guy a hug and say it's gonna be okay.
Alright, yeah that's pretty badass. Nothing like jumping over a highly televised, world renowned sporting event. People need to jump over more events. Thank goodness he made it. Who knows how many people would hate this guy if he just flopped onto the course into oodles of bicyclists.
Ready for some classic fails? Like, really though? These aren't child's play. These are people disastrously biking down stairs, screwing up dives and flipping trucks down ravines. Alright, here's your medicine. If you want to see some outrageous stuff, here are close calls where people escaped ruin by moments.
Dad got fired up for this email after his daughter told him she might spend her after-tax income on a bike that's another way of saying you have too much money to blow. His brutal response has since gone viral, and people are all about praising him for his work.
If you need a refresh course in what makes this flashy bike so ridiculous, check out that comedian's viral Twitter thread that breaks down all of its absurdity here!
We don't know a whole lot about motorcycle drag racing but the enduring truth here is that this is cool as hell.
We don't know where it comes from, but sometimes when you see someone you like, there's a certain, primal urge to impress them in the most idiotic ways possible. It's incredibly stupid, but for a lot of us, if a hot person is walking down the street, our next logical thought is "I bet she'd like to see how high I can jump." Here's a collection of the dumb things people tried, which for the record, sometimes worked.
It's almost refreshing to see the lock finally win.
