Video: The biggest attempted front flip in mountain bike history went painfully wrong

Brave or stupid, this takes some balls to do and unfortunately, on this occasion, Tom Van Steenbergen got it wrong.

Brave or stupid, this takes some balls to do and unfortunately, on this occasion, Tom Van Steenbergen got it wrong.

In the video, you can see the incident from the rider’s perspective as he has a GoPro attached to his helmet, but you also see what everyone else saw and that is when you realise what a painful fall it is.

Tom was taking part in the Red Bull Rampage which was held in Utah.

JOE remembers doing a similar type trick on our BMX in front of Sharon Murphy at school and that didn’t end well either so we extend our sympathies to the man himself.

Just get back on that bike Tom, you’re still a legend.
