Grizzly Bear Charge in Jasper
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
While mountain biking in Jasper, Alberta on August 4, 2013, my cousin Dan and I were charged by a grizzly sow three times. We were riding single track just outside of Jasper town-site (9c) when the encounter occurred. I rode to the top of a hill and applied the brakes to wait for Dan and plan my descent. My brakes squealed a bit, then I heard a growl and looked to my right to see a grizzly bear charging at me. After careening down the hill a bit on my bike, I was able to distance myself from the bear. According to Dan, who was subsequently charged, the sow stopped on the trail where I had been standing. When Dan arrived on the scene, he created a distraction, which drew the bear to him. He managed to grab the bear spray from his bag in time to brace himself, but the bear stopped approximately 10 meters from him - just outside the spray's effective range. Frankly, I'm glad we didn't have to injure the mother in any way. Meanwhile, I worked my way along the bottom of the gully toward Dan so that I wasn't alone in the rough bush. As I reached him, the sow and her cub charged toward us slightly once more before heading away in the direction that we had come from. We waited a few minutes, then walked away from the scene along the trail with bear spray in hand. To use this video in a commercial player or Broadcast, please contact licensing@storyful.com.

that bear is lucky it wasn't me mtn biking through there. I would have booted that thing in its furry ballsack and then open hand slapped it across the face. then the bear would turn around humiliated and walk back into the woods.

The look on your buddy's face at 3:02 says it all. Glad neither of you got hurt, that looked terrifying.

I honestly thought it looked fake everyone he turned to look because it appeared so bright. but I've never been chased by a grizzly before either

Oh Shit Damn right we're running down the hill XD

he is crazy walking in the wood without weapon

My bet is the sound of the brakes initiated the charge, maybe sounded like a wounded animal or something.

This man was attacked by a bear and used bear spray. Listen to him say he sprayed the shit out of the bear. It doesn't always work but better then nothing. He was mauled but survived
