Jumping Snakes Are The Motorcycling Hazard You Never Considered
Scary footage shot in Thailand shows a biker deftly avoiding a jumping snake
Motorcycling brings with it an element of risk. That’s just something you have to accept when you’re much more exposed to the outside world, riding something which doesn’t stay up of its own accord. But, depending upon where you live in the world, there’s another hazard to bikers you might not have considered: jumping snakes.
This footage - shot in Lampang, Thailand - shows a biker dodging a snake as it tried to jump up and bite his right leg. Yep, snakes can jump, and it seems they’re quite happy going after fast-moving targets. Gulp.

Me to that snake:
Rider: oh ssssssssssssssssssssssssssshit
“Hello sir, do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and saviour, Steve Irwin?”
For real tho hitchhikers are desperate these days though eh.
Jumping snakes, huh?

Ant’s are a treat that you never considerd
Squirrels: the destroyer of electrical connections. Apparently we have quite a few animals/bugs to worry about haha.
I’m sure that rattled the rider a little bit
Stick in in the spoke and itll sound like a fartcan honda
Ufortuna I think that counts as animal cruelty
Damn, when i saw jumping snakes on the title, I thought this was from Australia.
