Bikers of all types have an entire park in Slovakia on which to practice their skills. Mountain bikers, in particular, have a number of trails they can explore and kick up dirt on. And two such bikers recently got the scare of a lifetime while making their way down a trail, single-file.

As is evident from the footage above, one biker is filming the other on a relatively stress-free run, when a giant, burly, hairy bear flies into the frame. Check out the harrowing footage.
