Video: Neat trick, kid ... but watch where you're going!

"All cool!" exclaims youngster, seconds before crashing...

 

 

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).

 

This is why reflectors need to be banned from bicycle wheels.

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.
