 dude the sound of his voice makes you feel so bad for him and you can see there is no way in hell he is just jumping in to get it. It's gone and he knows it. Props for getting it back eventually though.

 That trail just looks epic. And I know it's not supposed to be funny but I just couldn't help myself, his reaction is what cracked me up the most. Anyways good thing if he got his bike back.

 I wouldn't even think about the rapids, i would just run and dive for it and grasp it and bring it back to shore no matter what it would take.
  • + 1
 Smile My Friday started out pretty shitty today. That video brought a smile to my face like no other haha! Thanks for that buddy, can't think of my day ever being that shitty puts a whole new perspective on my day!! Glad you got the bike back safe Smile (F**k my bikes in the river!!) hahaha
  • + 1
 why so shitty?
  • + 2
 Well mostly because I wasn't on my bike blasting down some mountain runs Smile Work does that to a guys schedule I guess. Thank god for Pink Bike, at least I can imagine I am riding all the great runs in the videos.

 That trail is amazing! Where is that?

And I'm with everyone else. Kinda sad and funny at the same time. A lot of us would've responded the same way too. Maybe it's a good idea to have a leash on a bike in some places .
  • + 15
 Thanks!.....built it myself. It's in Nelson, BC, right in the backyard of my old house.
I should make a sign for the trailhead...."Bike Leashes Recommended" haha!
  • + 2
 Did you get your bike back?!
  • + 1
 I agree man - a sweet stunt trail next to class 5 rapids?!? too awesome. Have you had the chance to run them in a kayak yet? that would make for a killer day of all around riding.
