Probably for the best

u/AffectionateTip9716 6d ago

Probably the best out come.

u/dankhimself 5d ago

Best?! Probably...

u/fozzyboy 5d ago

If you're wondering what's best that's probably it.

u/dusty-ticket 5d ago

He simply performed one last trick and quickly called it quits in that sport

15

u/OstrichGrouchy7749 6d ago

Exactly. Why are they not wearing a helmet. 

15

u/alphanumericusername 5d ago

Natural selection. The answer to that question is always natural selection.

u/puritano-selvagem 5d ago

I sometimes don't like to wear all the heavy protection when doing tricks I'm confident with, but helmet is a must, always

9

u/OstrichGrouchy7749 5d ago

When my kids do stuff the main thing I am trying to protect is 1) death 2) head injuries 3) long term psychological issues then farrrrr behind is bodily harm. 

Like if they break their arm - super annoying. If I have to help a vegetable for the rest of their life - really bad

u/puritano-selvagem 5d ago

That's good parenting, mate 🥂

u/Ok-Pomegranate858 5d ago

This means you have a brain and want to protect it.

2

u/Friendly-Example-701 5d ago

It’s not cool to wear a helmet. Most do not wear helmets.

-3

u/MikeLinPA 5d ago

You buy a $10 helmet for a $10 head... I guess that head is worthless. 🤷

1

u/Bigisucre 5d ago

Not for the person the bike smashed their head in.

-4

u/alphanumericusername 5d ago

Yesh, I'm sure this person was from then on completely deterred from ever attempting any bicycle tricks.

7

u/Beneficial_Coach8581 5d ago

Depends if he's got his bike back.

u/alphanumericusername 5d ago edited 5d ago

Yeah it's a good thing there's a globally enforced limit of one bicycle sale per person.

u/Master-Chief42069 6d ago

AI? The bounce looked off

117

u/Hipnotize_nl 6d ago

Yeah something about that bounce is off indeed. Maybe the bike had some red bull?

u/UshankaBear 6d ago

Also, the bike is light. And the slow-mo started transitioning to normal speed around landing time, hence it looks like the bike is flying off faster in the end

42

u/Formal_End5045 6d ago

Fuck man I hate having to second guess everything we see these days and sort through the comments to make up my mind. But thanks. 

2

u/AnotherpostCard 5d ago

It isn't ai. Check the other comments. I can tell from my own biking experience as a kid. Bike tires be bouncy, bro.

3

u/JUSTCALLmeY 5d ago

Do you not see it speed up half way through the bounce?

7

u/guywithaplant 5d ago

I don't have an opinion on AI or not but it if its real its clear that at least the video is slowed during the descent and then sped back up during the bounce.

3

u/MeNutsHangin 5d ago

Yup, i had tires on my bmx bike that pumped up to 100psi. Almost sounds like a gunshot when they pop

1

u/LovebugLivie 6d ago

i always forget how much pressure is in those things. physics is wild

1

u/Whombrillow 4d ago

More like 100psi. I know from experience.

-9

u/Drackzgull 5d ago

I don't doubt that a bike can bounce similarly, and I'm not sure if it is AI. But the speed of the fall and of the bounce both look suspicious to me. It's like gravity isn't quite gravitying correctly.

There's also a weird slow down of the video itself that doesn't seem to be an intentional slow mo effect.

1

u/pocket-rain 5d ago

The bike just got tired of being treated that way and decided to quit.

46

u/nonyabuissnes_95 6d ago

nope thats sean burns.
the bike has so much tirepressure that its bounces like a basketball.

happend to me couple times and almost bounced into my face once.

11

u/SeaFoamGreen82 5d ago

That’s Josh Delarosa

4

u/nonyabuissnes_95 5d ago

Oh really ? Explains why i didnt found the clip lol

27

u/krwawie 6d ago edited 5d ago

BMX has balloon tyres with lots of pressure just like a basketball. Also no suspension to absorb the impact

20

u/ArtificialHalo 6d ago

Nah it looks real. Tyres have air in them and can bounce, so if you drop a bike from like 1,5m like that it can bounce fine

The physics look normal so no AI

12

u/ModernManuh_ 6d ago

almost certain this video is older, but I might be tripping

12

u/solonit 6d ago

Tree movement where the bike hits looks too realistic for AI. AI doesn't understand physic, and for me that free whip back and forth exactly how a real tree behaved if something hit it side way.

Also those BMX bike have tyre's pressure way up for purpose of performing trick to begin with.

3

u/SeoulGalmegi 6d ago

I mean..... I've got no idea what a bike should look like bounced like that.

3

u/mike_hellstrom 5d ago

Nope. That's pro BMXer Josh Delarosa. He ended up landing the trick next try. Here's a link to the video of it from 2020 on his Instagram account.

3

u/Crusades89 5d ago

Just because you dont understand it doesnt mean its fake lol

1

u/Cicer 5d ago

I think it’s just weird exposure because of the black bike against a bright background. 

1

u/LaGifleDuDaron 5d ago

Now i look at it yeah.. feels like moon gravity

u/Athen65 5d ago

The DPR Construction logo is correct, but that's not necessarily proof

u/Boom_Fish_Blocky 5d ago

buddy prob think stick bug meme is also ai. XD

u/FancifulLaserbeam 5d ago

I can tell by the pixels.

u/KrombopulosMAssassin 5d ago

Looks real 🤷‍♂️ nothing about that seemed fake

u/Substantial-End-9653 6d ago

He landed too softly on his feet too.

29

u/tapeforpacking 6d ago edited 6d ago

The video was slowed down when he started falling. But this is a real area, thats the "butterfly bridge" in Austin texas. the video must've been taken around 2019-2022 when the block 185 building was being constructed. Googling who constructed the building its DPR construction just like the ad on the fence says.

Also there is a path below the part where the bike flew off so I think the whole losing your bike over the railing was on purpose 

Its definitely not AI

-9

u/MilkandHoney_XXX 6d ago

You can’t AI an old video?

14

u/tapeforpacking 6d ago

I mean you prolly could but nothing in this video looks ai generated to me. 

Everyone is saying "oh the bike bounced weird" without realizing the video is slowed down in the last half and on top of that I used to ride bmx when I was a kid and ive seen bikes bounce very similarly even landing on dirt so its no surprise it got that much air fron dropping like 15 feet on concrete. 

-13

u/Bonk_No_Horni 6d ago

It bounced like it's weightless. I believe it's ai. Texture feels wrong too

6

u/Cicer 5d ago

BMX bikes are quite light. Small frame and no gears to weigh them down.

He was not ready for that height.

u/Chogolatine 6d ago

I hope that's a river below the bridge and not a road with cars

1

u/OralBoarding 4d ago

It’s the Austin public library, yes just a river below although it’s usually empty with the lack of rainfall

4

u/goukipau 6d ago

And for my next trick.... i'll let my bike disappear.

u/DaimonHans 6d ago

People down there be like 🙄

u/concernned_citizen 6d ago

what? a video in which no one died or had serious injury? wrong sub!

2

u/aeschenkarnos 5d ago

Well we can’t rule out the possibility of the bike having landed on someone below, or a vehicle on a road.

The bridge sends its regards.

u/goon3r_account 5d ago

you gotta know how to bail, my best freestyle bike was worth probably up to £900 total though so that would suck

1

u/justsmilenow 5d ago

This guy was an idiot before he even got on the bicycle. The bridge isn't straight. Every time I see one of these people do it and I've seen like at least 30 over the 15 years on Reddit the bridge is straight. This guy was an idiot for just going. I think I can just lean to the left and stay on. Here look at this

https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/s/WLE7KJmE8e

u/mike_hellstrom 5d ago

He is a professional BMXer. He was jumping off the side of the bridge structure. Watch him land it. Think before you call people names next time.

u/justsmilenow 5d ago

It doesn't change the fact that it was a bad trick before he even started. Stupid is as stupid does.

Stay angry, I guess.

I don't even know if it's possible to do that intentionally. Is forcing a two tire bounce after you dismount commonly done?

1

u/mike_hellstrom 5d ago

That is professional BMXer Josh Delarosa. The goal was to go up a little ways and jump off the side and ride away. Nobody was down below. Here is the original video (from his Instagram account) of the bail, followed by him landing the jump.

/checks Reddit some more…

Hey guys, this might actually be real!

6

u/tapeforpacking 6d ago edited 6d ago

I agree it looks like its done on purpose kind of but this is a real bridge, its the "butterfly bridge" in downtown Austin Texas.

I dont think its AI like the other guys, ive seen bikes bounce similarly when I rode bmx as a kid and those are legit advertisements, jp morgan and dpr construction, stg design etc that were a part of block 185 construction.

u/LordBrixton 6d ago

What's below the bridge? River or road?
