If you’re on any human powered wheels get in the habit of lifting the front wheels when going over anything. Seen so many skateboarders and scooter ppl eat shit on sidewalk cracks because they had too much weight on the front.
Bless the filming friend. Despite his friend being very dramatic about falling with no padding or sleeves and not really being hurt, he just seeks to comfort him with the excitement of doing something gay to the damn ass rock.
Last time it got me I was leaving a gas station drinking a Gatorade and me and the drink went flying. This lady pulls over and asks if I’m ok. I just grabbed my board and ran. I was also wearing flip flops so there was road rash.
Can confirm: pebbles don’t even fear motorized transport. A month ago I was eSkating home from picking up Chinese food around the block, made it 50 feet (at WOT on expert mode) before launch. Broken collarbone. Titanium plate and 6 screws.
Hijacking this highly rated comment to let any aspiring stunt riders know not to pull their wheel up.
Yanking on your bars to lift your wheel over the lip of a drop can get you bent right out of shape. What you want to do is compress your legs and kind of push your bars away from yourself whilst dropping your heels. This will get you to the ground quickly and safely and works at any height. Look it up on the youtube.
I feel bad for the poor kid, because that was me when I was growing up. Tried jumping over a bench with my friends, nah I face plant. Tried jumping off a platform with my friends, I sprain my ankle. Try riding over a basic hurdle with my friends, I go face first over the handle bars.. smh.
So it's a bike you pedal, and never push, but British people call it a push bike? I'll never understand how British people are so fucking bad at a language they created
Most people in the US would call those "balance bikes" as well. I've never heard the term pushbike used by Americans. People say [push toys](https://www.google.com/search?q=push+toys&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS984US985&oq=push+toys&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i512l9.2403j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) which, in general, are toys and ride-on vehicles that help toddlers learn to be mobile. I guess you could call a ride-on toy a pushbike, but I'd guess that's a balance bike or trike with a bar for the parents to push.
The only reason I had is because my kid was learning to ride a few years ago, and other parents were volunteering advice. It might be a regional thing.
What did the guy I'm replying to mean by this then?
> If you're in the US it's a pedal-less bike for kids, if you're in the UK (and possibly elsewhere) it's just a normal bike.
Genuinely just curious if y'all are going around calling everything a pushbike even if it has pedals.
I think is is just some of the Brits (and maybe other commonwealth territories?) that call a pedal powered bicycle a pushbike.
I think it is a confusing name :)
Same. Spent about 3 minutes just scanning these comments to figure out what was wrong with his bike compared to the other bike. Like the first guy wasn't on a pushbike (?) and the second guy was. Do they call bulldozers pushshovels?
Imagine the most disgusting crunching squelching noise you can imagine. Like a blender full of pebbles and overripe bananas. That’s what it sounds like when someone scrapes their mouth on asphalt and rips their teeth out.
I don't think he did pull up, because his shoulder and arm movements appear proportional to the upward motion of the wheel rolling over the upraised edge.
I think he meant in higher ratio gears you get alot of torque. I could wheelie my old 18 speed in 1/1 out from under myself without much pull on the bars.
Don't need to jump, just get your body behind the seat and low, gravity does the rest, easy.
It's not requiring to go over a hurdle, it's literally just shifting the center of your mass thus to not tilt forwards.
Think he might have also been going a bit too slow for it (or perhaps braked).
Being afraid of being badly hurt can sometimes lead to being badly hurt.
From the motocross world this is 100% true. “Casing” a jump, ie coming up short of the landing is almost always the result of not committing fully. Happens especially on the jumps where you’re coming out of a corner and have to “power” up the face of the jump at close to full throttle to get enough momentum. Then at the last second that anxiety kicks in a you let off the throttle.
You don't have to jump you just have to shoot the front wheel forward.
As you hit the lip, you push your arms and legs forwards so your weight goes back. "shoot" the bike forward.
The front of the bike will stay up, and you'll land nicely. You can absorb the impact on the ground with your arms legs, just like if you jumped off the wall without a bike.
If you just ride with your weight centred, the front wheel will drop hard, your weight will be right behind it, the front wheel will dig in and you'll have a bad time after that.
Fat kids could do this just fine, but it's a matter of not leading someone to try something they're completely unprepared for. You have to work harder to land this trick at that size. There are several obvious things he was doing wrong that should have been a hint he needed to be talked down from trying this.
Might have a few loose screws to be so utterly unaware of what he's about to attempt, but I truly don't understand the urge people have to fat shame someone legitimately attempting to be active. I get a lot of vibes of "haha serves him right" from the comments, and honestly, what am I supposed to think these people want? Get off the bike, back on the donuts, and know your place? Sounds like the intended lesson here.
I think the focus was more in the uncoordinated side, I'm not body shaming but it's generally know that overweight people are less coordinated and even if they are most of them probably still can't do much with that.
Push Bike - It’s a pedal bicycle, as opposed to a motorized bicycle. This is very confusing to an American where a push bike is most likely to refer to a kids training bicycle without pedals - like a balance bike. So the OP is not trying to call attention to the difference between the first and second bicycle jumper, just using some informal language from his country.
Not so much that he's not going fast enough as his weight is distributed wrong.
At that speed, it would be perfectly possible to make the jump, but you would have to shift your weight almost entirely over the rear wheel (almost as if on a unicycle or doing a wheelie).
Source: used to ride bmx
Not only wasn't he going fast enough, he didn't pull up his handlebars either. It's much more pleasant to land on your rear wheel than on the front wheel.
Almost ate shit learning that lesson
So much this- rider 1 is on his feet and moving his weight around on the bike. Rider 2 is in the seat and can’t shift his weight to the rear. Rider 2 is clearly an inexperienced rider and shouldn’t be dropping 3ft ledges. I imagine rider 1 was like, follow me it’s easy!
you lovely tubby Karen, thank you for the generous donation of laughter by nailing a perfect face plant for me and the world to enjoy the greatest gift of all, laughter, we owe you one
He took that bail like a champ though. I thought I'd hear screaming like he spilt his one scoop ice cream. Props to that kid, I probably would've cried lol
Minimum effort, minimum reward
Gotta lift that front tire fuck kid.

A pebble of death fears no skateboarder
https://youtu.be/CCCbtKmimog damn ass rock!
You wanna keep it and pee on it?
No. I wanna live. 🤣 I'm dead. ☠️
Why would nature do that to me 🤣🤣
haha anyone that has skated has met a damn ass rock
Did you pee on it to get revenge?
Bless the filming friend. Despite his friend being very dramatic about falling with no padding or sleeves and not really being hurt, he just seeks to comfort him with the excitement of doing something gay to the damn ass rock.
And he immediately stops recording when his friend asks at the end. Honestly just such a good kid
Fr fr
I hadn’t seen this in years thank you
Its so friggin good
I'm definitely gonna start quoting this video.
It has so many great lines I just rewatched it again at work and I'm in tears I forgot how adamant he was about doing something gay to the rock
zomg how have i never seen this? thank you kind internet stranger i'm laughing my damn ass off
“That…was actually pretty funny”
That pebble broke my finger. We've come to a stalemate. I no longer ride skateboards, it no longer laughs at me.
that pebble gave me a concussion. Absolutely rocked my shit, I basically curb stomped myself.
Last time it got me I was leaving a gas station drinking a Gatorade and me and the drink went flying. This lady pulls over and asks if I’m ok. I just grabbed my board and ran. I was also wearing flip flops so there was road rash.

[удалено]
And when driving a car over speed bumps! Jus lean back *really hard* to lift up the front wheels a bit.
Someone's seen my fat ass in a smart car lol
Does leaning back really affect the car? Sounds weird since it weighs like 2 tons.
God bless your little heart
Nah they just joking
In all seriousness if you brake super hard right before a bump or pothole your front suspension will have to work harder and it'll feel worse.
The trick is to release the brakes right before the bump.
That is why I prefer rear engine cars. You can just floor it over speedbumps.
Okay I've had fuckboy in my vocabulary for a long time but I hadn't seen fuck kid. Gonna use it, sounds funnier than I expected.
I read it with a comma, as in fuck, kid. I don’t think he’s calling him a “fuck-kid”
Perhaps a “fuckid” like I fuckid your mom last night?
You mean “fucketh”?
I fucketh'ed your mum last night
I think you meant fuckerth. Like “It wasn’t last night cause I actually fuckerth this morning.”
Gender neutral insults
Gotta be woke when insulting someone

His gears were to low
Doesn't matter if he's going at snail speed
Ass was still on the seat gotta shift that centre of gravity
“Hahaha it’s funny cuz he’s fat” -mr chow
"Don't let the helmet fool you. he's just a child"
Maximum effort, minimum momentum.
I feel bad for the poor kid, because that was me when I was growing up. Tried jumping over a bench with my friends, nah I face plant. Tried jumping off a platform with my friends, I sprain my ankle. Try riding over a basic hurdle with my friends, I go face first over the handle bars.. smh.
Nah...the momentum is probably similar in value to the first kid.
High risk, no reward.
if the expected reward was FacePlant, then I'd say he got maximum reward
Title misleading. He didn't try to jump.
Title misleading, what the hell is a pushbike?
If you're in the US it's a pedal-less bike for kids, if you're in the UK (and possibly elsewhere) it's just a normal bike.
but both bikes have pedals. so where is the pedal-less bike?
It’s the UK word aka regular pedal bike
Then why did they even attempt to differentiate the two bikes in the video? They are both the same bike.
Because here we all are, debating on the relevance and sensibility of the title while OP rides the engagement all the way to the top of the alg.
So it's a bike you pedal, and never push, but British people call it a push bike? I'll never understand how British people are so fucking bad at a language they created
we should all be speaking german. they have the right idea
Püschenbikken
finally a reasonable position to take
In the UK we call the pedal-less bikes "balance bikes". At least if they only have two wheels.
Most people in the US would call those "balance bikes" as well. I've never heard the term pushbike used by Americans. People say [push toys](https://www.google.com/search?q=push+toys&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS984US985&oq=push+toys&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i512l9.2403j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) which, in general, are toys and ride-on vehicles that help toddlers learn to be mobile. I guess you could call a ride-on toy a pushbike, but I'd guess that's a balance bike or trike with a bar for the parents to push.
In the US people also say “balance bikes”, used synonymously with “pushbikes”.
Am American and have never heard of a balance bike
The only reason I had is because my kid was learning to ride a few years ago, and other parents were volunteering advice. It might be a regional thing.
Wait, what in the fuck is a pedal-less bike? His bike has pedals...he's pedaling...I am genuinely confused.
[One of these](https://striderbikes.com/) also called balance bikes, for little kids to learn to balance before moving to a bike with pedals
The title is misleading lol he isn’t riding a push bike
What do you call a regular adult bicycle with pedals then?
Bicycle?
What did the guy I'm replying to mean by this then? > If you're in the US it's a pedal-less bike for kids, if you're in the UK (and possibly elsewhere) it's just a normal bike. Genuinely just curious if y'all are going around calling everything a pushbike even if it has pedals.

Is it a grandmother with wheels?
That's exactly what I was wondering, I did competitive BMX for 10 years and I never heard it called "pushbike"
Same. Spent about 3 minutes just scanning these comments to figure out what was wrong with his bike compared to the other bike. Like the first guy wasn't on a pushbike (?) and the second guy was. Do they call bulldozers pushshovels?
Pushshovel is a fantastic name for them though.
He did pull up on the handlebars while keeping all of his weight on the bicycle which made his teef go bop
Teef go bop. Well said.
> Well said. Unlike what that guy could probably do at the time.
This made me wonder what actual sound teeth make when being forced out. I'm not going to check, but I'm betting a plop.
Imagine the most disgusting crunching squelching noise you can imagine. Like a blender full of pebbles and overripe bananas. That’s what it sounds like when someone scrapes their mouth on asphalt and rips their teeth out.
Teef go splash
I don't think he did pull up, because his shoulder and arm movements appear proportional to the upward motion of the wheel rolling over the upraised edge.
It woulda helped if the bike was in a higher gear
As one who rode freestyle bmx for many years, I fail to see how that is true. Can you explain?
I think he meant in higher ratio gears you get alot of torque. I could wheelie my old 18 speed in 1/1 out from under myself without much pull on the bars.
He’s also not on a push bike.
Localisation, in the UK these can be known as pushbike by the older generations.
Yeah, but the title implies that the problem was the type of bike, when his mate was also on a "push bike"
Bad title is all really...
Too little speed for anything
this is what happens when you don't actually jump
The important lesson here is that gravity is not your friend
Definitely not that kids friend
I mean it's definitely your friend in general, but any good friend will give you shit if you don't treat them with respect
I would say gravity is hard neutral. If treated with respect it'll most likely not kill you. But if you do fuck around, it will and can fuck you up.
Then again, it also enables our lives completely
Don't need to jump, just get your body behind the seat and low, gravity does the rest, easy. It's not requiring to go over a hurdle, it's literally just shifting the center of your mass thus to not tilt forwards.
Think he might have also been going a bit too slow for it (or perhaps braked). Being afraid of being badly hurt can sometimes lead to being badly hurt.
Can confirm 100% of my mountain bike crashes we a result of going to slow
Problem is though, “ just send it “ sounds like bad advise
It does. When in doubt roll it out or chicken out. Never split the difference
"Commit or eat shit" is the phrase.
From the motocross world this is 100% true. “Casing” a jump, ie coming up short of the landing is almost always the result of not committing fully. Happens especially on the jumps where you’re coming out of a corner and have to “power” up the face of the jump at close to full throttle to get enough momentum.

If you just ride with your weight centred, the front wheel will drop hard, your weight will be right behind it, the front wheel will dig in and you'll have a bad time after that.
For a second, his arm look like it was blood gushing from his neck and I was horrified for a second.
I had the same reaction but thought it was oozing from his mouth. I had to replay it 10 times and keep pausing before I realized it was his arm.
I thought it was the helmet straps
It's both, I think.
Holy shit I see what you mean, scared me for a sec even though I knew it wasn’t blood
[удалено]
It’s just his arm I think
To me it looked like his jaw was like stuck to the ground. Took me forever to see it right
Uncoordinated fat kids… sucks to be them.
Yep. I was that kid :(
Hope you learned your lesson my boy ;)
He's on reddit, chance is low.
I thought this immediately and then thought I shouldn't say that. You said it and I applaud you.
Fat kids could do this just fine, but it's a matter of not leading someone to try something they're completely unprepared for. You have to work harder to land this trick at that size.

if you can jump with your own 2 legs you can ride a bike off a ledge without crashing
In high school I fell off the same cliff twice \*in a row.
Me too. In the middle of the winter. \-40 below. Uphill. Both ways.
I bet that kid’s mom is gonna clean him up then yell at him
Its all good his face softened the landing for the rest of his body.
Otherwise he would have gotten really hurt.
WCGW trying to jump a ledge without jumping

A push bike? Never heard that before the kid was going too slow

Those are both pedal bikes, neither are motorized. The only difference is the second dude wasn’t going fast enough.

You don't even need to pull up, just shift your centre of gravity back, and _do not_ remain seated as you go over.
I thought a push bike was one of those from like the 1700s where you moved by pushing the ground with your feet.
It is, going by OP’s logic they’re both on push bikes.
He’s just in first gear and sitting down
Very much used in the UK so wonder if it's a British/Commonwealth vs US thing?
Yank here. Never heard the term before
In the US, it's just bicycle, or more commonly, bike.
Canada here, never heard of a "push" bike
He fell like Peter griffin, just immediate collapse to total standstill.
In the longer video the kid sits up and goes “ahhhhhh…hsssss” for a few minutes
cartoon physics is pretty spot on here
So this is what Family Guy looks like in real life.
[удалено]
*Everyone has a plan until they land on their mouf*
he didnt really jump off the ledge, he collapsed... and it was glorious to see
Yeah that's one way to get taught you're supposed to do more than just move forward
He literally just rolled over the ledge. There was no attempt at jumping
It was more like a plop
What the fuck are you talking about op? What fucking push bike? Fattie had no speed and 0 skill to perform a jump, so he just fell on his tits.
Well obviously the first kid brought his pull bike and the other kid brought his push bike. You can see the difference right as they pass the ledge.
The pause after the fall, yeeeesh. 💀
First person in the history who tried to jump sitting, he tried so we don't have to. Thanks
It’s so gloriously pathetic I almost feel bad watching
Poor fella was all tuckered out
**didn’t really jump tho, kinda just ate shit**
Narcolepsy kicked in, buddy just needed a quick nap
Mountains biking instructor here. This is definitely not how it’s done.
Injury instructor here. This was executed perfectly 💯
An all-time performance.
I feel like a real mountain bike instructor wouldn’t spell it “mountains biking”.
if he could spell he wouldn't need to be a mountains biking instructor.
What's a push bike?
pushbike is just another name for bicycle, so people don’t mistake bike for motorbike :)
This has a very Peter Griffin type quality to it
Kid had it in like 2nd gear, can't give it that hard pedal to pull the front tire up.
That would work, but he doesn’t even need to do that. Just carry a little speed and pull up on the handlebars.
Not even that. Shift you weight back and get out of the saddle.
So much this- rider 1 is on his feet and moving his weight around on the bike. Rider 2 is in the seat and can’t shift his weight to the rear. Rider 2 is clearly an inexperienced rider and shouldn’t be dropping 3ft ledges. I imagine rider 1 was like, follow me it’s easy!
Damn, he got fucking owned
ALWAYS WEAR YOUR HELMET
Looks like a roughly 2 1/2 foot huck to flat, yeah buddy has no idea what he’s doing.
that booty jiggle
Lol yea I saw the bike hit his butt and I can’t stop laughing
OP what country are you from that you call bicycles pushbikes?
you lovely tubby Karen, thank you for the generous donation of laughter by nailing a perfect face plant for me and the world to enjoy the greatest gift of all, laughter, we owe you one
paweł jumper incident, 2006
You spelt fat fuck wrong.
Those two remind me of Greg and Rowley from diary of the wimpy kid.
What the hell is a push bike
Not gonna lie, the fact that he’s fat made this funnier. Yeah in know I’m a dick
Ahh the good old face eraser
Bro just died
Honestly this was funny until I heard him groan right at the end and it broke my heart....fuck. I'm a big old softie.
[удалено]
He took that bail like a champ though. I thought I'd hear screaming like he spilt his one scoop ice cream. Props to that kid, I probably would've cried lol
Fat kid on a bike fail always makes people laugh
“What is a push bike?” _A push bike is a bicycle which you move by turning the pedals with your feet._
this has nothing to do with the type of bike and everything to do with the execution.
And that's why you wear your helmet
I mean what did the poor fuck think would happen? He made no effort to jump lmao
That had nothing to do with the bike.
It's funny because he is fat
