This is the hilarious moment a man lost control of his trike and flipped it before falling off while showing off on the high-powered vehicle.
The man tried desperately to hold on to the trike as it roared off across the D Park skatepark in Denver, Colorado, on October 30 in video captured by Tim Miller. But the vehicle eventually flipped, throwing its rider off and leaving him red-faced and bruised.
Earlier in the video the man can be seen riding around the skatepark, showing off by purposely fishtailing on his 2022 Can-Am Ryker, which sells for around $13,000. Motorised vehicles are not supposed to be used in skateparks because they can damage the equipment.
The man, dressed in a plaid shirt and stonewash jeans, even throws up hand signals to the camera as he passes Tim who is filming.

Then suddenly after bouncing down some steps he builds up too much speed and falls down a steep ramp. The fall unseats the man, and he foolishly tries to grab onto the handlebars, accidentally twisting the throttle as he does so. This is known as ‘whiskey throttling’ and it caused the vehicle to speed off out of control.
The man lost his mobile phone on the bumpy ride while he was in a Superman position trying to slow the trike down. He then blasted up another ramp, which whipped his head round sending his cap and sunglasses to the ground.
He continued to spin around, desperately trying to cling on but the trike eventually flipped over sending him flying and disappearing into a bowl.
The man then stood up baring his teeth and, fortunately, appeared uninjured as he smiled to those watching. But he was ridiculed online when the video was shared on social media.
