A rollerblader took a nasty tumble after trying to catch a ride on the back of a pickup truck.
Footage filmed by a biker’s helmet camera showed the lad clinging to the tailgate of the moving vehicle.
He was wearing a helmet, knee pads and gloves but little other protective gear as he zoomed down the road.

He could be seen straddling the centre line as he was pulled down the dual carriageway at breakneck speed.
But seconds into his journey, as he was pulled along an overpass, one of his rollerblades hit a bump in the road.
The biker gasped as he took a tumble onto the tarmac, tried to pick himself up and fell back down again.
He yelled an insult at the rollerblader while riding past him as he sat on his bum in the middle of the road.
The clip, believed to have been filmed in Venezuela, was shared on social media on Wednesday (9 Apr).
It was captioned, “Recklessness often precedes calamity,” as reported by Need To Know.
Leo commented: “What an idiot, my God. Wouldn’t it have been easier to just hop in the back of the truck?”
Carlos wrote: “Then they’ll run him over, and he’ll say it’s not his fault.”
And José remarked: “That’s beyond reckless.”
It’s not clear how badly the man was injured.
