Friday Caption Contest: BMX Edition

I’ve never ridden a BMX bike - I always had sensible big-wheeled bikes as a kid, and to be honest there’s something odd about an adult learning to do the sort of amazing stunts, tricks & jumps that the cool kids can do.

But that doesn’t mean we don’t like BMXs - au contraire, we think they’re very impressive. On what other sort of bike could you pull a stunt like this, shown in a Flickr Creative Commons licensed photo by tonylanciabeta :

So for today’s competition, all you have to do is come up with a caption for this photo. As usual we’re offering a fabulous prize* that money literally can’t buy - a weekend’s fun cycling with Kate Devlin, the Daily Telegraph’s medical correspondent . Once she’s figured out the difference between a psychologist and a trick cyclist , I’m sure she’d like to explore the health benefits of two wheels.

Good luck!

*remember, all our prizes are virtual. Unless you actually know Kate Devlin, in which case you might just manage to go riding with her.

    Give the bike a silver headbadge for doing a higher backflip.

    Give the poser a half-pipe full of regret and a wheelchair before he grows a gray hair.
