Any videos and TV channels to do with cycling, mountain biking and stunt bking.
There’s plenty of compilation videos on YouTube, but not many of them make me laugh. Thankfully this one does, as it shows a variety of mishaps.
There are so many short clips in here that I thought I’d highlight my favourite three, and the time they appear. Enjoy!…
Until I saw this video, I thought moving vehicles would be the biggest obstacles for skaters. Not for Olivier, who has a rather nasty run in with a parked car.
This video is mind blowing, partly because it shows a forest course being ridden from the first person perspective, and partly because this is something all of us could do if we wanted.
Normally when I watch extreme sports videos, although I’m intrigued, and love watching it, I also know I couldn’t take part in that sport, be it off piste skiing, or bungee jumping.
Racing on mountain bikes requires a delicate balance of leg strength and stamina. At this particular race, one cyclist was feeling a little tired.
So he just let his bike race for him.
Road blocks are annoying, but this is something else entirely. A group of at least 40 cyclists take over a roundabout and halt traffic for a full minute.
It’s not everyday that you see something as annoying or hilarious as this.
I’ve never been much of a bike rider myself, but bicycle racing has always amazed me. There’s just something about people going that fast with no motor power that boggles the mind. Just look at this guy. His name is Markus Stoeckl, and he broke the world speed record for series mountain bikes at 130.7 miles per hour.
Motorbikes are dangerous things at the best of times. How many occasions have there been where you’ve heard about people falling off or even seen bad traffic accidents involving bikes? And the bikers always come off worst.
And what do some of these mad bike freaks do? Make it even more dangerous by taking their bikes off road and doing stunts on them, sometimes death defying ones at that.
This video shows Julien Dupont displaying some of those awesome skills around France. Not only does he throw his bike around in ways I didn’t think possible, he also uses the local environment and buildings brilliantly well to his advantage.

You know, I have never understood why they allow people to stand so close to the bikers on route for the win of the Tour de France. The crazy fans jump out in front of bikers, throw things at them, try to distract them, and now they are apparently setting traps with dogs.
I was in Paris in 1998 when the bikers were to complete their final stretch onto Champs’elysee, and I was not up to the idea of going around all the madness, with all the mad people gobbling up the streets and the metro.
Here is a great collection of all the things that can wrong as a competitor in the annual Tour de France. There are many obstacles along the way, and that is not limited to the tough course and terrain, and you primary competition, the other bikers. You’ve gotta be tough, and ready to fight back, if you are to make it to the finish line unscathed.
No matter how bad your day has been it’s not likely that you’ve got it worse than the poor sap in this clip. Imagine feeling as if you’re on top of the world. You’re near the finish line in a bicycle race.
A giddy feeling begins to billow up in your belly causing you to rejoice, and raise your arms in victory. Then, you fall of your bicycle.
