Bliksem.

I watched the video before reading the story. Did not expect that.

THROTTLE sent it to me yesterday and boy, I was not expecting that!!! Was quite a shocker. Glad the guy is OK.

YOH ! Nice riding area.

What I find odd, at about 25sec in the youtube video above it is quite clear what is coming. Why did he freeze up and go straight? I know hindsight is 20/20 but if you know there are cliffs around, I'd have tried to put it down at least or something idk.

In fact even from around 10 sec you can see the ground dropping away ahead. If it is clear on the video, wonder how he didn't notice it.

He forgot he's NOT on a Honda... No wings, no fly...

I see it happened in Wales...

Those okes are a bit dof. Their language alone should be an indication that something somewhere went seriously wrong.

I'm sure his heart skipped a couple of beats...

Does this classify as a Darwin Award, or just a nomination?

loss of situational awareness or did they not do a proper recce beforehand?
