Video: Man’s attempt to ride BMX at 80kph fails miserably

This bloke over in the US thought it would be a great idea to ride a small BMX at motorway speeds without any type of body protection at all...

This bloke over in the US (or ‘Merica! as he probably calls it) thought it would be a great idea to ride a small BMX at motorway speeds without any type of body protection at all…

We have absolutely no idea how this bloke thought that going 80 kph (that’s 50 mph for him) on tiny BMX wheels was going to end well…

However, the bloke must have thought he was going to pull off the ridiculous stunt without a hitch, seeing as he chose not to wear a helmet or any body protection for that matter. Sadly, it goes as well as any normal person would expect…

You can pretty much guess what’s going to happen as soon as the smoke starts billowing from the rear tyre, but thankfully the guy gets up and walks off the pain following the crash.

Just remember to wear your helmet, even if you’re not cycling at motorway speeds.
