This is a video of French BMX rider Justin Fouque clearly forgetting to activate the E.T. in his bike basket and failing to clear a fence during a jump, but rolling away from the crash so smoothly I thought that might have actually been the trick. Impressive. For reference, I never learned how to fall gracefully and broke my arm twice snowboarding and then skateboarding when I was in high school. I couldn’t even ollie. “Jesus.” I was a sad sack. “Of shit?” I was going to say potato salad. But not the good kind — the really mustardy one. Or is that the one I like? Whatever, my point is we should have a barbecue before it starts getting too cold.

Keep going for the video, which includes footage of Justin successfully making the jump after the crash clip.
