Video: Toddler in cyclo-cross hurdle fail

We all started somewhere ... let's hope kid in Galicia picked himself up and persevered...

Here's a cute video from Spain's Galicia region that shows a toddler come a cropper as he tries to follow some older kids at a cycling school in leaping over a cyclo-cross hurdle while holding his balance bike - and doesn't quite make it.

It was uploaded to social media by the Escuela de Ciclismo José Antonio Hermida in Maceda, which teaches kids mountain biking and cyclo-cross skills.

In the post, they wonder if we might be looking at a future Sven Nys.

Well, practice makes perfect, and however expert a rider any of us is, we've all had plenty of spills in our past, so let's hope he perseveres!
