Moment before kids crash on BMX bikes (Instagram still).PNGVideo: Neat trick, kid ... but watch where you're going!
Here's a video of a young chap who is that pleased with himself at pulling a pretty neat trick on his BMX bike that he forgets to look where he’s going … and crashes into another youngster coming the other way.
Posted to the Drunkcyclist Instagram feed (though we’re pretty sure there was no alcohol involved in this particular mishap), the kid stands on the top tube of his bike and says to person doing the filming, “All cool!” seconds before coming to grief.
Luckily the collision was at low speed – let’s hope neither of the lads was too badly hurt (we’re guessing they weren’t if the parent, or whoever, with the camera posted it to the internet afterwards).
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Well what is that way? Are you suggesting that every bend on every descent can be barriered over a 180km mountain stage?

Hopefully it'll still be allowed for recreational use.

Churnalism nowadays - mostly clickbait stuff and regurgitation in the local rags/comics and beyond.

I'm glad the barrier wasn't damaged. Whew, close one there! \s

The other kid should get rid of those stunt pegs. Those things will break your ankle if you're not careful and 90% of BMX owners never use them.
Ah, brilliant! I like
