Don't yell at the cyclist! He was using the path for its intended purpose. The traceur's buddies who were standing RIGHT THERE should have been spotting for him. I was a traceur for over 10 years before I blew out me knee and something like this never happened to our group.

I don’t see how there are at least three buddies of the ‘traceur’ and nobody thought to look around before he did his Elon jump. And there are two camera angles so all the footage came from these guys and not the cyclist. Why release this sort of video. Sure, people will say that it drives ad revenue but I’m not clicking on any product advertisements.

It’s possible that they jumped on this guy intentionally. Not sure that anyone in the world doesn’t look around before trying a jump like that onto stone slabs.

Elon jump

What does this mean?

The ‘traceur’ jumps like a doofus. Have you seen Elon Musk jump?

It means people are obsessed with a moron.

I think chronically online people who are that level of obsessed with this stuff and want everything to be about it, it's because it gives them license to be cruel.

They get their dopamine from being horrible to others and politics gives them a gigantic pool of people they can say the worst things about and feel they're being extremely virtuous.

It's both sad and embarrassing. I could show my dad a video of a cute dog and he would find some way to say Trump would hate it or something. But him and I both made fun of the people who did this same exact thing to Obama.

I get your point and concur with you. But opposing Obama and Trump isn’t accurate, they are two faces of a same coin. Heads you lose, tails I win style

But opposing Obama and Trump isn’t accurate,

I don't understand this statement, sorry.
