This accident could have either been the most gruesome thing we’ve ever seen, or the most spectacularly awesome. Luckily for both us and one incredibly agile biker, it was the latter. Getting hit by a car never looked so good.
This gent is either some sort of unbelievable acrobat, or just dumb lucky. Either way, he managed to get blindsided by a car while on his puny bike and cartwheel gracefully to his feet. Did it even hurt? Did he even notice? A ninja never tells.

I don’t think he landed on his feet by the look of his ripped shirt and all the blood on his arm.

Thursday, October 21, 2010 at 11:56 PMDon’t believe the hype – he went down. You can tell that he initially landed on his feet, facing backwards, but he had more momentum than he would have been able to withhold without moving back further. Only a full cartwheel would have saved him, and I doubt he pulled it off – A telltale sign is brushing the shoulder when looking at the bike, after the long delay walking back to it (after getting off his ass). Years of skateboarding and martial arts make me know when someone is going to stack it, and my educated opinion is that this guy did.
