Tough Loss

Don't make this mistake!
This is just an awfully humbling thing to live with the rest of your life!:eek:

that is hilarious!

Too funny :cool:

oh-oh, that just makes me cringe... :D

awww that sure is humbling!

That would be something that would happen to me.
That bites.

*snort* ...that's funny!

Ugh! I'm glad that I've not advanced to riding without hands yet!

So embarrassing! As they say, don't count your chickens before they hatch!

Reminds me of that Olympic women snowboarder that started celebrating too soon and lost.

Oh, I don't think that is funny. At all. How horrible that day must be for him. I know how it feels to fail and to fail in front of others is terribly hurtful. Oh, my heart goes out for the poor man - imagine how he felt after working so hard to get where he was. I wouldn't find any humor in it if it were me and I'd sure hope others wouldn't either.:(

I bet he still has nightmares over that!!

I'll bet he doesn't do THAT again!

Too funny. If he had just fallen, I wouldn't think it funny. It's that he was prematurely declaring himself the winner, celebrating, and then fell because he was doing so that makes it humorous to me. I s'pose it's a don't count your chickens thing....

CA

That's AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! :D Does anyone know what race that was?

ahh the nightmare of racing.

so funny yet soo sad. I'm just baffled how an experienced pro could lose control like that. I assume this was a pro race...

yeah he isn't going to forget the loss for 20 or more years. And he sure wont be able to live it down.

my condolence to the poor rider.
