Scary Footage Captures A Bear Charging Mountain Bikers

If you are going mountain biking in the woods that last thing you’d generally think of is a massive bear charging at you.  However, when YouTuber Dusan Vinžík was mountain biking in the woods of Slovakia not only could he not believe his eyes but it was fortuitous that his camera was on when a massive bear decided his buddy would be a nice lunch.  All of this happened in Malinô Brdo in Slovakia.  As you’ll see in the video, Vinžík started screaming his lungs out to alert his buddy of the danger.  According to Bored Panda

Luckily, the bear disappeared after cutting off the trail. We also see that the biker whom the animal was after stops, which was probably a good thing as the path in front of him had a switchback and could have lead him to the bear. It’s not clear what made the beast run away — perhaps it was Vinžík’s screams that frightened the animal. One thing for sure, it was a ride to remember!

Here’s something about bears.  They’re awesome.  But they’re awesome when you watch them on television, in movies, or see them at a zoo.  When they’re up front and personal?  Nah, I think it’s time to stay away.
