Paris Rosen crashed hard after attempting a front flip during the Moto X Best Trick contest at the X Games 16 in Los Angeles.
Before his practice session, Paris Rosen, 29, had problems with the carburettor on his bike and had to stop to fix his bike. Because of this, Rosen was unable to practice and lost confidence in his bike and his ability to land the front flip.
During the attempt, everything seemed to go wrong. The bike only flipped about halfway as Rosen land hard on his back with the bike nearly falling on him. Rosen lied motionless for several minutes in front of thousands of shocked and silent fans. Medical personnel loaded Rosen onto a stretcher where paramedics rushed him to the hospital.
Doctors reported that Rosen was able to move his arms and legs and should fully recover.
When I was young, it took me weeks, if not months to learn how to do a kickflip on a skateboard. Each time I fell, I always thought I was tough and would dust myself off and try again. Only now do I realize what a pansy I was.
Other than Travis Pastrana's double backflip a few years ago, this has to be one of the most insane tricks I have ever seen attempted, successfully or not.
Ever want to try hang gliding? Then maybe you don't watch to watch this video then. Or maybe you do want to watch it so you know what not to do.
The video shows two men taking to the skies near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on a hang glider. Take off looks fine but then its all down hill from there.
The hang glider turns to the left and crashes into the trees. I am guessing the men will be fine but still looks like it will leave a mark. I can only imagine the looks on their faces as they were about to crash into the trees. Fail.
I know it does not snow too often in Portland, but it does, and drivers should be prepared or have some knowledge of what to do or not to do in certain driving conditions. In this video, on a snowy and icy day in Portland, Oregon, different cars are filmed trying to navigate their way down a road. These cars don't appear to have snow tires, chains, four wheel drive, or a driver with any common sense. Only one of the above is needed in this situation.
The best part of the video is the first driver, who is also a complete idiot. He is in what appears to be a silver SUV or similar, and if he is purposely trying to hit every car and everything else, then he succeeds. After he hits the first group of cars, you can hear him trying to accelerate. Probably not the best idea in this situation. I know that pressing the breaks can make you continue sliding, but honestly after hitting a bunch of cars already, probably best to take your chance with the brakes and not accelerate even faster. He then goes on to hit walls and poles and another group of cars like something out of a video game. Hope he has good car insurance.
The other cars that lose control and crash can be best explained as a snowboard with four tires and an engine. One of the cars keeps going and going, even after hitting another car. You can't even see where it stops.
I guess I am glad that I live in Southern California and rarely have to deal with snow. But I am better prepared then these idiots.
This is the fastest response time you will ever see for a cop. Not sure what is worse, speeding in front of a cop, or a cop surprising you around a corner, causing you to panic and lose control of your motorcycle and fall, while all of it takes place right in front of a California Highway Patrol, who also knows you are speeding.
Whoever filmed this video hit the jackpot, being at the right place at the right time while filming a motorcyclist who is at the wrong place at the wrong time. I can't help but laugh every time I watch this guy fall. It seems to get better and better after each view. I guess he should be happy that he did not get injured, except for maybe his ego.
If that cop was not there, would the motorcyclist still have fallen?

That glass door must have been really clean for this smart guy to walk straight into it. To make matters worse, he spills his coffee all over himself and the glass door. To make matters worse, he spills his coffee all over himself and the glass door.
I love the look he gives after he hits the the door. It looks like he wants to physically fight the door because it got in his way. He probably is upset at first, but then realizes that he is an idiot and hopes that nobody saw him.
At least now the next guy that walks through the door won't make the same mistake.
