The World Championship pond-crossing event took place at Sugarloaf Bike Park in New Brunswick, Canada, with competitors attempting to cross a water obstacle on bicycles. A young child successfully completed the crossing while multiple adult riders fell into the water.
“Of course the little kid who doesn't overthink it… just cruises right on over!”

Of course the little kid who doesn’t overthink it… just cruises right on over!🤣🤣🤣👍
-
That looks like a lot of fun. Nice community event.
-
My first thought was that many kids could do that. I swear they become at one with a bike. I'd make it about 5'. Lol

Kids aren't as top heavy on a bike and have way better balance. 😂

Plus he didn't peddle for most of the ride. That helped keep him steady.

That truck convoy was an astroturfed op funded by US oligarchs and probably Putin. I noticed the first day, the only signs about covid were home made. But trucks showed on day 1 with glossy wraps saying “eff Trudeau” and signs for Poilievre for PM were professional. Funny that, right?

😂😂😂 If you can't get along with Canadiens, then you can't get along with anyone..I’ve traveled to nine provinces and never knew there were any assholes in Canada until that trucker fiasco during COVID. I love Canada. I'd never be able to bike over that. 😂

Life is like a bicycle; it’s moving forward that creates balance

I totally feel like I could do this. But most likely can’t.
-
I’m no expert on this sport, but I think I can see what they’re doing wrong. They’re falling into the water instead of staying on the little bridge thingy.
-
It’s a lot of fun…so many more community events like this one.
-
Speed is your friend. Don't think, just do.
-
Little kids are fearless. Just get on the bike and do it cause I'm not falling, lol 😆
-
Lower center of gravity worked in the kid's favor
-
Little kids are much lighter and they don't sink the tires and twist the boards as much as the older people. You can see most of the older people fail near the same area which seems to be less bouyant and the boards twist.
-
I know—I think starting pretty fast and then coasting would be best. But also, I’d probably end up in the water
-
Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣. I think I’ll remain a spectator. 🤣🤣🤣
-
Kudos to the kid who did it. Fun to watch.
-
The adults are no competition for a kid! 😂👍 Very cool.
-
I can feel that kid's smile from here....
-
Put on a life jacket and you won’t need it🤩😂 (Scouts are told to never forget rain jacket and booths if they want a sunny day trip)
-
Of course the kid would make it. Fun to watch
-
Yay, the kid did it. Fair to say I would have made it about 2 feet before falling in the water. 😀
