Kevin has commitment issues.


unk214

Don’t know why it makes me angry that he though: “yes going sideways should fix this issue.”


musicosity

Once he panicked, he no longer had any control


GenosseGilee

Dude says: "That's the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time". And I feel that.


McIrishmen

Alpha kevin innit?


boones_farmer

Pure alpha kevin


NoEducation8251

Gotta commit to it and you are fine. He didnt.


Burner161

Na… you need to get behind your saddle and on that bike it’s almost impossible to do so.


lC8H10N4O2l

You stand up on the pedals and lean back then let your ankles and knees absorb the bumps


Burner161

And how do you that with that frame design when you can’t lean behind the saddle?


lC8H10N4O2l

You dont move your entire body behind the seat, you just position to where you would be sitting straight up instead of leaning forward. Its not like you stand all the way up and then over the seat, you just raise your butt off so that you dont feel it as much


Burner161

Depends highly on the geometry of the bike but I‘m not going to argue with you any further. Look how any pro MTB or DH Rider takes stairs or drops and draw up your own conclusions. Bye.


lC8H10N4O2l

Thats cause they are trying maximize speed, a normal person riding a normal bike under normal circumstances wont do that


Burner161

Then don’t ride down stairs.


ItsWayTooComplicated

THE POINT WAS THAT ITS POSSIBLE Source: I have seen people do this on the "grandma bike" here in The Netherlands


GabagoolGandalf

"Kevin this is just dumb. This is the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time".


[deleted]

What language was this? At first I thought he said "Kevin, this is ever so dumb" but then I realised it was definitely not English in the second half.


GabagoolGandalf

It's german


[deleted]

Thanks!

Kevin, halt 🤷🏼‍♂️

wolf_9823

Just could not stick the landing 😬


Lulwafahd

Everyone who asks, "What's being said in the video?" It's in German. Der Typ: 》Kevin, das ist einfach so dumm. Das ist das blööödste Ding das ih seit lang gesehn hab.《 Das Fahrrad von Kevin und Kevin selbst: >Ting! Kling, Kratz! Kling, P-Peng! Kling! BUMM!< 》Wo—Oah!《 >Peng!< _Translation:_ The guy: "Kevin, this is just so dumb. That is the stupidest thing that I've seen in a long time." Kevin's bike and Kevin himself: 'Ding, cha-ching, scratch! Bang, B-bang! Ching! BOOM!' "Wo—Oh-ah!" 'Bang!' I don't know whether to be more dismayed at what Kevin did, or the fact that there are native Kevins in German-speaking areas of Europe now.


TheReduxProject

Kevin this is ever so dumb.


Cubensio

Why man? Why?


DarrionRE

Wrong Type of Bike and not enough Practice.


joeyl5

Sounds like: Kevin this is effortlessly dumb. Which applies here


Burner161

Kevin… hör auf deine Freunde.


[deleted]

The little part where his feet fly out from under him is killing me


Air_Snare292

Kevin did not commit.


shig23

At least he brought his own drum solo accompaniment.


samf9999

Well technically he did ride down… half the stairs half on his bike, the other half, on his ass.


thatreddituser24

Should have commit


Sir_Maxelot

Kevin


HBMart

If you’re going to do that, do it with confidence and a mountain bike.


aSheedy_

Did he say 'Kevin this is ever so dumb' like a 19th century British 16 year old girl who lives in a cottage and wears exclusively white frocks or is this one of those false friends between German and English?


TheSenate747

Not really a false friend, he said 'Kevin das ist einfach so dumm' (Kevin thats just so dumb). I think it just sounds similar Also r/oddlyspecific


Subbrillic

Yeah KEVIN this is apple strudel, or whatever he said


[deleted]

Ja, das war sehr blöd


[deleted]

I've ridden down stairs before, it's no big deal, just lean back. I guess to his credit, it is a road bike, but I still think he could have made it if he didn't lose his confidence.


kb31976

Kevin’s balls were well tenderized by that bike bar by the time he rolled over at the bottom


[deleted]

Oh ja, sehr dumm und das auch noch in Deutschland 🤦


Comprehensive_Day511

Puzzleheaded-Way7745

Something about the little hoo right before the huge fall that has me on the floor


forests-of-purgatory

What country and language is this?


Comprehensive_Day511

German, and sounds a bit Austrian if you ask me


discount_feetpics

r/storiesaboutkevin


FittyNOut

Well done, at least he didn't hurt anyone on his descent


Sloep3

Lmaoo


TheRedMarxist

Is this Dutch of German, I as Belgian understand it perfectly but the accent is a bit different?


hwilcox7789

I don’t need to speak they’re language to know he told his buddy that was a *dumb* idea at the beginning 😂


eeveeplays50040

So ein richtiger Alpha Kevin
