epic cyclist FAIL

coach Rick — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 11:01:40 +0000

These girls are impressed.

To be serious, I really think we should train kids on how to go over the handle bars into a dive roll. They should practice on to soft mats.

coach Rick — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 23:12:13 +0000

I was scared for him that time, back in 2006.

Now … terrified

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

… On August 26, Aaron “Wheelz” Fotheringham became the first person in a wheelchair to land a double backflip. …
