This video reminds me of a saying in a navy seal video I saw, "You either put out or get out!". This guy put out for all he was worth and more!

Both the bear and guy walked away with a story to tell.

Cheers,
John.

Indeed, which one you thinking? .44 and up would be my choice, but not less for a grizz that small .

Lol,
John.

I agree. Doesn't look real to me.

I'm not even a good rider but I could hop that log on the trail.

This video, like the bear, has been floating around for a while.

You can't just hide behind a tree from bear. They have the best sense of smell of any mammal. 7 times better than a BLOODHOUND. That guy woulda been snack time for ole brown bear.

Now looking at it on my computer monitor and with a more critical eye it is most definitely a fake. On the cell phone and not expecting it to be a fake like aliene videos (I don't waste much time on that nonesense, it gets old after a while.) it seemed plausible.

I will be more carefull of what I spread around next time!

A bear can run 30 mph for short bursts.

The very best mountain biker might be able to hit 17 on the flat if the track was very smooth.

So BS, do not try this at home.

I don't know whether it's fake or not, but what caliber or type of gun is best to have in this type of situation? Somebody has to ask.........

Excuse me?! 17 mph I can run on foot much less on a bike, I did 22 mph at 16 years old on a mtb on a trail and I wasn't half what a avid cyclist can do.

It's a fake no question but you possibly could hit 30 maybe 35 on a mtg if your life depended on it and you were fit.

Oh great, thanks, now I've got to change my Depends.

On pavement, you can easily do about 30. I know, I did that once when Patties dad caught me sneaking out of her room and gave chase. No, nothing nasty either. I just happened to fall asleep while there one night.

The video is an obvious fake on so many levels, both observable and intrinsically.

I am or was an avid bicyclist, on a road bike alone I could maintain 25 by GPS or Speedo for short distances. In a group an amateur can do this and better for a while under good conditions. Professionals of course can do it longer. Kitted up on a trials bike they can do better. A bear would likely still catch them unless they had a start.
Wind resistance increases as the square of the speed so without drafting you hit a wall.

As far as running goes, the bear can do better almost 400 feet in 9 seconds which is better than most sprinters, and while he isn't a distance runner he is a good quarter miler.


On a MB, with MB gearing, and soft trail, very few are going to hit 20 much less maintain it for any distance.

 

[John Rus]

I basically figured that the bear was not really in a full persute mode and was being more teritorial than predetorial, of course giving it some thought this video is so wrong on so many levels.

I watched the video once and was so excited about it I just posted it here without giving a second to think "Is this real?", I could have saved myself some embarrassment if I did!

Here is a real grizzly charging a bike... (some strong language as to be expected from a person almost being eaten by a griz)
