Falls down

He falls down at the end ... he obviously doesn't know how to handle a road bike.

Hard to believe that he actually stuck the landing holding onto a road bar.

This would have to make a great advertising clip for the bike he was riding. ...And it's a real road bike, not even a cx.

He completely *nailed* that landing, touched both wheels down at the exact same time and his ramp was at just the right angle, I bet there wasn't that much stress on the bike.

But all our bikes are way stronger than we think anyway.. Particularly the one-piece carbon forks are super strong.
