holy crap! the cyclist wasn't great, but i would totally try to charge that guy with attempted murder. he threw him off a bridge!

That is too funny!!!

Hillarious. I love the guy who threw him off the bridge. He deserved it. Should have thrown the bike in after him.

holy smokes! I'm guessing the guy doing the throwing must have known the rider who was pushed. Otherwise there really is no reason to freak out that badly...

no way. by that logic robbie would deserve to be thrown off a bridge too:

this stuff happens a lot in racing. road, mtn bike, cross, whatever. we have no idea what happened leading up to the first pushing. maybe the rider was just a dick, but maybe he was provoked. anyway, the bystander had no right to do what he did. i would sue that guy for every penny he has.

I bet that poor guy weeks prior to the race was doing training climbs, intervals.. Oh he was all ready for the big race! Little did he expect that he would be thrown off a bridge by a big fat guy!

If you're heavy like me that guy wouldn't be able to pick me up and throw me off a bridge . :D

the racer who got pushed cut the 2nd guy off. He could have been doing that half the race to prevent a pass. Big fat guy should have been arrested.

Pretty well staged I think.

Trevor98 08-19-05 03:39 PM

Looks staged to me too.

Urban Shooter 08-19-05 03:46 PM

What if the guy didn't know how to swim??

zhmontana 08-19-05 03:49 PM

what if the water was only 3ft deep?

beppe 08-19-05 05:43 PM

Uh, it was pretty obviously staged. I mean, he basically bounces up to the edge of that bridge on his own power, and helps the other guy push him over.

That video at first seems funny, but it soon becomes hilarious. Staged or not.
