Just our luck, we finally get an ace rider, and he becomes a meal on wheels.

I don't think that Joakim understood how dangerous of a situation he was in. I think he was educated by Fryguy and the locals after the fact. There were bear sitings all weekend. On saturday I was working the Cross test. I got there early and had everything ready for the Berg riders and the other Canuck riders I was supporting so I took a few minutes to walk part of the test. I was standing their chatting with one of the photo hounds when a course marshall walked over (briskly)to tell us to either get moving or be very careful because their was an injured black bear that had just been seen close buy. Supposedly it was bleeding heavily. Usually these bears are more scared of you than you are of them and will run away before you ever see them (unlike a grizzly that just views you as a snack). Black bears are usually only dangerous when they are injured or you get between them and their young. I find it disturbing that the bear in Joakim's video was not running away. If it was the injured bear they could have been in big trouble.
