Yup, seems legit.

Haha, awesome.

Distracted by the adrenaline fueled by the exploding building?

#6 Edited by cutyoface (370 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

Yup, pretty much what happened.

#7 Posted by Dark (168 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

It just goes to show, you can be awsome enough to ride up a rail but a unlabeled pothole can be your demise.

On a lighter note, man, Patrick has some mad skillz, did you guys see him get out of that exploding building? Real life story IMO

My tummy hurts from the laughing. You magnificent bastard.

#9 Posted by TooWalrus (11799 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

Oh man, Patrick's ride home from work looks pretty... eventful.

#10 Posted by KaneRobot (990 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

I wish I could wheel by a group of random letters on the way home encouraging me to "Go."

#11 Posted by Codeacious (900 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

Truly, cut down in his prime.

#12 Edited by Nilazz (512 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

That's what happened, saw with my own two eyes I did.

#13 Posted by leinad44 (321 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

What a horrific accident!

Great vid!

#14 Posted by probablytuna (2506 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

Damn impressive skills Scoops!

#15 Posted by crusader8463 (13057 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

I call BS. No way his fro could fit in that helmet.

#16 Edited by jewunit (969 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

GO SCOOPS

Excellent work.

Here's a video of Patrick coming to Giant Bomb on his bike. Nice bike Patrick!

#18 Posted by Excast (385 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

I was waiting for someone to make a Trials video of the incident.

I was not disappointed.

#19 Posted by MonkeyKing1969 (1207 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

That's why I will never move to San Francisco...too many stunt-jumps.

#20 Posted by MarkWahlberg (3958 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

Disgusting. Typical media, trying to cash in on a national tragedy the moment it happens, no consideration for those involved.

#21 Edited by Benny (1610 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

This is awesome, the actual bail could be very close to what actually happened. The rest might be how Patrick imagines his ride home.

#22 Posted by jking47 (1041 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

Oh wow, that was actually pretty good. I love the idea that he was going off jumps and riding up rails, then hit a pothole and fucked it up.

That was awesome. Especially in the end where you stuck that shock rod under Jeff so Patrick could escape in the Gamespot elevator.

#24 Posted by pweidman (1960 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

Too funny tc. Patrick's painful reminder indeed.

#25 Posted by DrFlapjack (202 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

Hahaha, oh man he peddles so hard. I wonder if that building explodes on his ride home every day?

#26 Edited by Winternet (7262 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

Hahaha, this was great.

#27 Posted by ahaisthisourchance (1635 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

@claude Man, I miss the days when music videos were actually entertaining.

#28 Posted by Pr1mus (2417 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

This is awesome. I can't wait for this game to come out on PC. One more month!

#29 Posted by Mikemcn (6789 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

Poor Pat =(

#30 Posted by patrickklepek (1625 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

Nice work. 110% accurate.

#31 Posted by Hector (3200 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

Haha that was awesome AND realistic .

#32 Posted by ThePaleKing (583 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

Now you just have to replay the level 3 times to find out who really dug the pot hole.

#33 Posted by hollitz (634 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

I heard if you play the break music backwards, it predicts Patrick's accident.

And if you play the third theme arrangement backwards, it says "Brad is dead".

#34 Posted by CornBREDX (3417 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago

That's great. So great I had to watch it twice.

#49 Edited by Pr1mus (2417 posts) - 3 months, 2 days ago

I keep watching this and i just imagine Patrick actually riding like this, furiously leaving the office every day after work to go play some video games.
