Bear Chases Mountain Biker

Have you seen this video of a large Bear chasing a mountain biker? It may be one of the most intense things you’ve ever seen!

Too bad it’s fake.

A video that has gone viral today shows a horrifying mountain biking ride gone wrong, when a man is chased down by a big bear and is seen peddling as fast as he can to safety. Your palms sweat as you watch it and nervously await his fate, and you feel like you’re right there as the GoPro camera he uses to capture the incident makes it feel all to real.

Well, this particular footage is not real, but this popular video sure does a good job of making 1.5 million viewers believe it is. The bear is just a little too crisp when you compare it to the surroundings. The bear is the only thing in the GoPro video that doesn’t seem to suffer from motion blur. If the CGI wasn’t obvious, surely you must have noticed how stupid it would be to just get off your bike because of a little branch, jog to a tree, and just stand there staring in the opposite direction for several seconds without looking if the bear was following.

However, what is real is the original story of this horrifying incident along with the actual footage from it (shown at the bottom of this article). Apparently this YouTube user and graphic artist extraordinaire didn’t think the actual clip of the event showed enough of the bear, so he put his skills to work to make that happen.
