Ow! I bet he is glad he is wearing a helmet. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2oymHHyV1M&feature=player_embedded"]Mountain Biker gets taken out by BUCK - CRAZY Footage - Only in Africa - YouTube[/ame]
Yikes! Still, it'll take more than that to get a mountain biker down. I know a few, and the way they seem to shrug off injuries is quite inspiring.
Yeah saw this one... man... he's gets thumped. That's pretty much like getting hit by a car. Ouch!!! I'm sure there is an impala/car joke in there somewhere. (if that doesn't make any sense I present to you the '67 Impala SS)
I don't know, as a mountain biker that's probably the most horrible thing I've ever seen happen to a rider that didn't involve a large vehicle.
But you have to admire the sense of timing that Buck has.. He intercepted that biker with such precision... I hope the guy is OK... PS: I was chased by an elephant when I was in South Africa... We were in a national park called Pilanesberg. All of us were in that tourist vehicle, something like a jeep... He came so close... I have it on camera...
Truly amazing footage, especially the way he dropped his head right before impact. I wonder what he was thinking? "Who's king of the jungle now......?".
I've been hit by a car and I reckon the antelope would be scarier with all that pointy crap on its head. Mitch
