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.I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

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.

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....
