What do you do when you know you can’t win a race? Well, if you’re Carson Storch, you huck a massive backflip right in the middle of the racecourse.

Storch, a 20-year-old team rider for Diamondback, threw down this huge trick right in the middle of the Sea Otter Classic downhill race last weekend.

“I knew I couldn’t win the Sea Otter [downhill] race so I decided to improvise,” Storch reported on Facebook. Well done, sir. Well done. —Sean McCoy
