Amateur Rider Crashes New Bike Spectacularly On First Ride

Ah new bike day, it's like Christmas for mountain bikers but better because you got exactly what you wanted. There is no better way to break in that new whip than promptly dumping it into the dirt on the first ride out, scratching it, crying, and causing your riding buddies to question whether or not you'll be invited on the spring Moab trip.

Oh, wait that didn't happen to you guys too? Never mind... Anyway! Here's a kid breaking himself off on new bike day.

Check it out below.

My only advice is to maybe take a little time to dial in that suspension and get comfortable on the new bike before chucking your meat off a drop. But, you know, do your thing.

At the end of the day, we are glad to see that both the rider and the bike were alright. It could have been worse, after all, I bet his friends still liked him after this.
