Grizzly Bear Charge in Jasper
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2013
- 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.

When traveling in bear country always wear little bells that jingle which alerts the bear that you are in the area. Also, carry pepper spray to spray them if they get too close. For preventative measures, watch for signs of bears in the area, like tracks and bear poop. The tracks should be obvious when you see them but the bear poop can be harder to identify. You can tell when it is bear poop because it will have little bells in it and it will smell like pepper.
That's hilarious
I can tell you for a fact pepper spraying a 800lbs plus brown bear is not a good idea
Lol
10 likes, are u kidding me?! A brilliant comment!!😁
Tammy Rogne it was 5 days ago
That was the most warranted "oh sh!t" I have ever heard!
I was thinking that same thing. I also notice how fake bear attack videos never have that: Just the recorder stoically feeling in silence.
There's always that one "expert" that comments "Oh, I would've done a backflip and then zoomed pass the bear matrix style. And then stab it in the heart with my butter knife"
And theres always a guy calling out “experts” so whats your point
triggered
Bwahahhaaa!!!
Actually I don't really ever see experts on here really
MachineGunR sounds like my 10 yo brother
Bear: “we’ve been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty”
90 percent of these comments are so funny i cant even pay attention to wether this guy was finna die
If that was the bears real intention this is a perfectly reasonable reaction.
"I see that you have resorted to alternate means of transportation; is that because you are ashamed that you have neglected annual service requirements on your car?"
at 2:10 I thought that rock was the bear
same here
Same
same
LOL me too
Dave Waddell
I don't think the charge was malicious. I'm pretty sure it just wanted to fix your goddamn brakes.
Yeah. Maybe she was trying to sleep but couldn't because of that squeaky sound. :D She has cub(s) so she doesn't really have time to rest and she finally found some time when this stupid squeaking bike comes. She became reeeeaaaly mad :D
VZsofi3 you can communicate with bears? Nice..
The brakes sound like an animal, specifically a bear cub in distress.
Yeah sqeaky brakes are exactly what i thought. Fix them.
😀
wow. this guy is damn lucky the bear didnt continue to follow him down the hill. he would have been a sitting duck.
If bear keep follow him down the hill human prey would be on
a revenant
lol
lol yea he went directly down the hill with his back straight to the bear. probably stupidest thing he could’ve done in that situation but i don’t blame him. those things are terrifying.
This would NEVER happen to me...know why? Cause I lay on my couch eating Doritos watching videos like this on UA-cam all day to remind me just how dangerous exercise can be. ESPECIALLY where there’s bears!
Finally ... a legit comment!
@loretta hawley ... very interesting loretta :)
Exercise? What if a small engine plane loses control and crashes into your elliptical machine. Nice try I'll sit on my ass thanks.
I'm just commenting to let everyone know that Mr. Corrales died last week. He was sitting inside his house when a bear broke in and killed him. RIP
Those Doritos have sharp edges, worse then a grizzly bitch slap.
Plot Twist: Man died from Lyme disease transmitted from a tick that latched on during his evasive tumble roll in the brush.
Damn this made me crack up good hahaha
I'm sitting in the doctor's office and burst out in laughter at this comment!!! 😂😂😂😂
Lol
@Brian it s a joke go back to your kitchen brian
I always tell the truth. Even when I lie I tell the truth.
“OH SH*T!” - Famous last words of anyone experiencing a near death encounter.
probably a few dead ones too
I spoke those 2 lil words as my very 1st , a late talker at abt 15 months (was mimicking mother). Would be funny if they were also my last someday... seeing as how I've moved to the PNW and plan to do much camping hiking and rockhounding, ya never know, they very well could be, as I cant wait to see natural, untouched wilderness like this, but I will have a big can of bear mace.
I’m a UA-cam expert. And that was definitely a golden retriever,NOT a grizzly bear.
Jesse Taylor Ur stupid for not realizing it was just a abnormally large armadillo
You fools how could you not see that it was man bear pig?
Dude... Most grizzlies are blonde. How do you not know that?
That was a seal with legs
Bigfoot's little bro
it was a Circus bear and was attracted to the bike.
Ever heard of how powerful bear arms are
@@richardmg9903 no
Yep that was Bobo from the Ringling Brothers. I think he asked for retirement in Jasper because the lady bears were hotties! Instead he has to deal with these bikes again which give him nightmares.
Erin DeMoulin 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 bro that’s a savage comment
All bears are attracted to bikes, if they are moving fast like frightened prey.
Shouldn't embarrass that bear like this by posting its winter weight for everyone to see...
good one. I don't get the over 4 mins of footage of bird watching.
Bruce Smith do you not see the bears and it's cub?
I saw the bear on top of hill and the bike veered left and tumbled over the rest of footage was watching boring woods. Never saw any bear charge once much less 3x
Setiously,this comment sleyed me hahahaaa!
I have had a similar experience when I was cycling through a big desolate Forest when I heard a noise and turned around I was horrified to see a pack of psychopathic squirrels coming right for me. awful it was
***** hahaha fuckin funny. Big fierce dogs them
+Maniacal Music jesus christ that sounds horrific. I was actually on my penny farthing but the bastards can climb
keep talking. You're not funny yet.
alan4sure I think you'll find we are
Be careful squirrels are very strong.,.,
we are always told
DON'T RUN!!!!
that was the first thing this guy did. instincts are powerful.
He didn’t run he rode
If it wasn't a mock charge to protect her cubs, she would've fucked his entire world up.
I think once we can confirm it’s a mother bear, running is the best thing to do. If you stand your ground she won’t be intimidated enough to not protect her cubs
@@Kevin-rj5zp For black bears, you stand your ground. For brown bears, you slowly back off or play dead
ExoGhost Nah, no mother bear will be threatened enough by you alone
I never get tired of that "ooh shiiiit" holy jesus, that was pure despair right there
Despair is not the word I would’ve used lol more like terror.
Bear: HEY! Is that a Huffy?!?!
+Seti Ra hahahahahahahahahaha
LMAO!!! The only comment that's actually made me laugh in the past 2 hours I've been on UA-cam. Hahaha!
THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!
Lmaoooo
2 years later, this comment is still funny.
Relax, she just wanted a hug. Have you not heard of bear hugs?
😂😂😂
And bear bites, and bear scratches, and bear PILE DRIVES
I am so glad you made it out okay. And you got killer footage as well.
The worst part is after, knowing it’s out there with you but not knowing where it is.
That bear was at least 10 yards away from him. He's lucky to be alive. Crazy.
They're slow
I outrun bears all the time
The trolls Puppeteer are you trolling?
Tomi B. Do Grizzlybears ALWAYS attack? Black bears usually don‘t. And what about brown bears? Thx.
@@katana5562 Bears won't attack humans unless you surprise them or they are sows (females) traveling with cubs. Most bears are very timid and human fatalities by them are extremely rare. Brown bears are much more aggressive than black bears. Usually when hiking in a dense forest area, it helps making a lot of noise to avoid bear encounters. Sometimes they don't even want to attack people, but are just naturally curious. It really depends on the situation.
Grizzly bears ARE brown bears
This is an amazing video. Glad all turned out well for the humans and bears. One thing I always do while biking in bear country (AK) is to yell every 30 or so seconds at the top of my lungs. It's annoying and tiresome but it does the trick and gives bears an opportunity to move out of the way before you rush onto the scene on your bike. I've done this in one of the most bear-dense parts of AK on 25+ miles of backpacker's trail and all I saw were two bears from a distance (one brown bear running up a hill away from our yelling as we came on the scene). Other than that we counted somewhere around 55-ish piles of bear scat on the trail...just to show how active the area was!
Yeah, when we hike we carry cowbells and try to be loud, especially when you're coming around corners or over a ridge top. Most bear attacks are because you've startled them and they feel cornered.
When my other half and I were on a retreat a couple years back, on a hike up to Inspiration Point, one of our fellow hikers had a seizure. There were for of us in the group, I was the only one who could go for help. I sang VERY LOUDLY all the way down the mountain... Right at the bottom, right in the middle of the two, was a... DEER! LOL I was so expecting bear or mountain lion I actually was SCARED! I hollered and hosted- the deer didn't move, so I the a small rock, he ran off, and I was able to get help for my friend.
My point is, I'm happy to see I did the right thing- I'd only just been told to make lots of noise to keep the big critters away. Didn't know if it was true or not. 😊
Why don't you stay away from bear country?
***** Thanks for your reply. I understand what you have to do what you have to do once you are in bear country. But I meant that humans have so many places they can call home, whereas bears have so few. So why go into bear country?
nanimate Whoopsie daisy! Someone didn't get spanked enough as a child. You seem to know very little about bears based on your ignorant (and childish) comment.
Years ago my friend Mike and I were traveling by car through Jasper and spent the night in my old Volvo between two hotels. We thought we could maybe use the pool to clean up in the morning. So we were all in our bags and Mike says he has to take a leak. So he goes out in the dark to this little piece of woods between the two hotels and in 30 seconds comes dashing back into the car saying "There's something BIG out there!" We turn on the car lights to see the biggest damn grizzly standing right at the end of our car looking pretty pissed off. Mike had stated to take a leak when he felt and heard a "Whooof" of hot air. Apparently he pissed on the bear or came extremely close to doing that. You know he was close if he felt the air on his face! Mike yells "DRIVE!!! so I immediately start the car with my feet still in the sleeping bag and we drive to a movie theater parking lot with lots of light. True story
your friend pissed on a grizzly? bad ass
***** Thanks for the compliment on my writing skills. We WERE scared shitless.... I thought he was gonna stomp us right through the window. It could be my imagination but he looked 10 feet tall standing there
BlueFlyer83 Well its one of those crazy stories from my college days for sure.
The noise the breaks made when he stopped his bike sounded like an injured animal and might have got the bears interest is what I think happened here.
Brakes..
@@georgeprime2249 suck...
I heard that too
Good point. I'm on board.
That was my thought having just come from another bear video where they were calling them in with a noise very similar to the brake noise.
BEAR DISPATCH: they're rite on top of you!
BEAR: i gottem....
@Cooley Mac *right
Just watching the video is terrifying. I cannot imagine how it must have felt to experience such a visceral, deeply instinctual fear that can only come from a grizzly bear charging full speed in your direction. All of that while being unarmed, no less.
Many years ago, I was camping across the western part of Canada with my family. We stayed in a beautiful campground in the Selkirk Mountains, called Illicillowit, if I remember correctly. They had a great educational program with a lot of young park naturalists. We attended a lot of nature talks in the amphitheater, as well as going on a lot of hikes with the naturalists. The day before we left camp, Barbara Chapman presented a program on wildlife in the area, and had the pelt of what she said was about a 600 pound grizzly that had been hit by a car. She was off the next day, and we said our goodbyes, as she would be out hiking with her boyfriend. The next day we went on to Banff. We later picked up a newspaper, only to read that she had been killed on that hike, by a mother grizzly. It's no joke. They are death on 4 padded feet. Take every precaution when you are out there.
That’s where I live. You rarely hear Selkirk mentioned.
Legend has it he is still standing next to his bike waiting for the bear to leave.
You “Bearly” survived bro! Lol
If this were me, Someone would be in possession of nice bicycle they found on the trail,and there would be an unexplainable trail of poo leading back to the car park.
and then the next person gets eaten because they got greedy and tried pushing a stolen bike plus their own out of a sow-guarded area. now, two new bikes on the trail, ahahaha
And... more poo
BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose 😂
"Unexplainable "
Oh, it can be explained.
Just out of curiosity, have you seen The Revenant?
Got tickets for tomorrow night :) Pretty stoked - was filmed near here and a friend of a friend worked on it.
+Brad Paras so, what did you think?
+Connor McLernon In one word: intense. From the beginning right to the end. I don't usually enjoy watching 3 hour films but I was hooked all the way through. Great film.
Brad Paras And the bear attack, given your experience here?
+Connor McLernon When my incident with the bear happened, I was already well aware of the things an angry bear can do to you and was thinking about it as I rode down the hillside. I think the depiction in the Revenant was really well done. You got the sense that the sow was merely protecting her cubs and was only trying to ensure that the threat had been neutralized. You also could sense how helpless Glass was in that situation.
Makes me even more thankful that things turned out they way they did for me.
Biker stops and looks right
Bear sitting: hello there
Dan has so much guts to stand his ground with that bear charging at you ,total legend.
Godzilla 2000 99% of people would have ran duh.
I find it hilarious people are bringing up guns when 1) a bear that close would make it near impossible to actually get the gun out before it got to you and b) this is jasper canada people, a national park. It's illegal to have anything along the lines of firearms in the area and there's hefty fines for killing animals in national parks
If you work in rural Alaska or Canada (hunting guide, surveyor etc) and you often have to walk into thick underbrush(where bears sleep) pretty much the only effective way to defend yourself is a powerful rifle of shotgun loaded and in your hands at all times. Not that I'm recommending people go walking into Alaskan underbrush.
Fleece Johnson Actually the most powerful thing you can do while walking around in Alaska is to MAKE NOISE. I live and work in Alaska. Every week I go walking in the tundra and the taiga where yes, there are PLENTY of grizzly bears. If you don't want a grizzly bear to get startled and run up on you, then you make noise. The worse thing you can do is try to shoot a bear with an under powered rifle.
Well I feel a National Park, Governed and policed by our Government is in neglect and liable for inviting the general public to visit such a site knowing very well about the occupation and potential of dangerous animals that are out there. Encounters with these creatures, intentional or not, that result in injury or death should not be approached without life saving appliances. I have the right to live. The right to defend from threat of aggression causing death. The Human species has inherited the earth. Our ability to survive is to use our superior intelligence. Timothy Treadwell FAILED in his attempt to prove that we can co-exist with these Bears. He couldn't sort out the difference between Reason and Instinct. An Animal has no reasoning ability. Thus I charge him with suicidal tendencies and the 2nd degree murder of his partner.
semtech30 No one is forcing you to go out there in the back country and see these animals up close. You want to look at them from safety? Go to a zoo. NP's are there to PROTECT the wildlife, wilderness, and whatever historical artifacts that are in the area. There are plenty of open land out there where you can fire a weapon in "defense". But don't give me that BULLSHIT. In Denali National Park where I worked, some fucking asshole who brought a gun into the park (fine that's legal) but he went there and was supposedly "CHARGED" by a moose, so he shot and seriously injured the animal. Didn't even have the heart to kill it. So it suffered and had to be killed by our rangers. Well guess what? That moose was a rare breed of moose, it was a WHITE/ALBINO moose which is sacred to the alaskans, then to make it worse, the moose had 2 calves with her, which probably didn't survive on their own. That person could have zig zagged and ran behind a tree. They don't want to kill you or eat you, they want you to leave them alone, which people DON'T DO. So no, I don't think people have the right to "defend" themselves from animals in these parks. If you're scared something will attack you, GO ELSEWHERE. Or hell, just stay in your vehicle. People NEED places like these to learn about the past or to just get away from the large cities and into nature. And if you go around getting scared and shooting animals, then wtf are we there for? And our superior intelligence? Our superior intelligence is what's destroying this world. Humans have inherited this planet and is hell bent on destroying what we have.
I'd rather pay a fine than be dead wyv3rn1 (nice screen name btw). Perhaps death doesn't frighten you. Or maybe you are just being politically correct.
"Oh shit!" That about sums it up. Wow.
That grizzly was lucky to get away alive.
M Henhawke wym?
Lol😂 yeah that bear was lucky to escape with his life
That may just been a beagle anyway
@uncle joe And then some, probably a good tongue lashing too.
Do you mean that man?
That second guy is a trooper. I got let down and was attacked by a bear. The world needs more friends like the guy that stayed with his buddy
word. stay safe!
She had a cub with her, felt threatened. Behaving in a non-threatening manner was best. She wasn't stalking them, just on high alert. Gotta be prepared to see a bear in the woods, know the bear's body language and have bear spray on hand as a last resort.
If a bear wants you dead, your fucking Dead, they are masters at Ambush hunting ithey so choose.
With that said with 30 plus years in the back country of Montana I was only charged once by a black bear sow, no Idea how far she went probably not far we were elbows and ass :P
Pepper spray isn't my last resort, led is. Survival of the fittest. ;)
SlayerofFiction
exactly, if you see one they have already seen you GUARANTEED. They can smell up to 10 miles! and they STINK themselves and still somehow manage it.
Sutras
have fun trying to have your buddy Led protect you, carry a gun.
*****
I do not necessarily agree with this, while their scent is incredible I have had other MTN biking friends who have nearly ran them over on a trail.
Remember they can smell like crazy but still have to pinpoint t he actual source.
What is interesting is no matter how loud I think a Mtn Bike is, and I mean some of our free wheels going downhill sound like a fishing Reel, you can damned near slap animals on the ass they are constantly surprised.
NEVER go out in the woods like that without a .44
This is alberta -.- we cant do that
Now that just sucks
Ohhhh i know :(
***** perhaps a spear ?
I live in bear country, and bear spray actually works better as professional hunters would tell an amateur to use instead of a gun. Because unless you are an expert guns man, you are just going to piss a bear off. It takes 5-6 shots to put a grizzly down. After one shot the bear would already be on top of you raging mad. Seriously, read the forums from hunters in Alaska. Bear spray shoots 30 feet and stops a bear in it's tracks.
Scarier than the horror movies they make these days.
This man used the "OH SHIT!" better than anyone who has ever Oh Shitted
I'm giving that to the off-road bikers riding through a narrow train tunnel who suddenly see lights in the darkness of the tunnel ahead of them. "OH SHIT!" You can almost feel the adrenaline in the video as they scramble to turn their bikes around and pedal back to the entrance with the train horn blaring behind them. They get out with just 2 seconds to spare before the train comes screaming through.
0:30
**squueeeeeeak**
“Oh hey bro! I got some brake fluid if you need it!
“OH SHIT!”
“Jesus, what was HIS problem.”
Bear wanted to ride your bicycle.
only Russia
Ashish Rana no Bear wanted him meat
guess you could say, the bear just wanted to 'meat' him. :)
Ashish Rana: Ah, an escaped circus bear then.
Hahaha nice try, everyone knows bears only ride unicycles
You can see a cub at about the 3:42 mark in the upper left corner going back up hill.
Your observation 💯
Mhm, probably a momma
Bears like: GOT EM! Huff huff huff
Well that's pretty disappointing, he should've turned toward the bear for a better viewer experience
LoL
LMFAO!!!!
my neighbor is lucky to be alive after being mauled by a sow grizzly several years ago. It took hundreds of stitches and staples to button him back up. he's lucky he didn't bleed out. One day I watched a big boar in the local zoo play with a 5 gallon plastic bucket. In seconds he tore that thing apart like a styrofoam coffee cup. These animals are not to be taken lightly.
I don’t know, but whenever my Dad took me up in the mountains on trails, we wore bells on our shoes, whistles around our necks and Dad was armed. We saw bear from time to time and once, a lynx, but never had to shoot in self-defense or get charged. I wouldn’t go unarmed into the back country.
If your Dad was the only one with a firearm...you were unarmed.
So you did go out unarmed.
Boom. Lol.
@@jjmiles7173 got her!! 😝😝🤭🤭
Biker: whoo I need to catch my breath
Grizzly Bear: WHY IN THE WORLD DID YOU STOP!? KEEP GOING!
i guess those breaking sounds were unbearable for him... *badum-tss*
Ohhhhh jesus. That would have been so scary! Probably didn't even feel like the bail down the hill from all of the adrenaline pumping through your body. That was intense.
camelCase it's fake
TheShield 23216 proof or are you just being a cynic because it seems cool?
Sasha Weiler a bear would have ran faster and it would have smelled his sence
TheShield 23216 The bear was also with a cub and likely was just trying to fend off anything. Not only that but there are stories of bears only chasing a little bit and not bothering with going too far.
When you look at the video in slow mo it doesn't look fake either
TheShield 23216 scent*
Did you draw anti-grizzly bear circle around yourself
That’s an OVAL!!
Or anti bear underwear
Craigslist ad: For sale, mountain bike. Used one time. Seat slightly soiled. No reasonable offer refused.
Yeah, i would have to change my pants...
feels like fallout ....when your in the wasteland and encounter a yuo-gai
bear charges
man: quick lets get off our bikes
Let's go biking up and down the hills through grizzly infested forests.
Bears need to eat too.. 😆
There's a chance you'll run into a bear whenever you go out in nature. Infested?? Seriously. Its not dumb to go outside bud.
poor bear, everyday alone in those vast woods, theres nobody to play with and finally when he finds someone, they run away from him.
Its tough to be a bear :(
I'd love to stop and hug a bear back, if only their claws didn't tear me up as they did it.
He came at you because of your squeaky brakes. Sounds an awful lot like a cub in distress.
It was a baby Ox.
Damn I thought it was baby cubs... your the one who pointed out the squeaky breaks...I feel dumb now lol In my defense the audio on this was horrible haha
Same comment in my head! 🙃💣
You can see the bear has cubs in the video it is likely he got to close to them and she responded.
Here's footage of a male grizzy digging up a den. You can hear a cub's cries, and it does sound like those squawking brakes.

This is my neighbor. I rubbed honey on his seat before he left.
Lmao
When humans encounter bears they turn into the crabs from finding Nemo.
Never go into the woods without a .45-70 and a extra pair of drawers folks
.44 magnum will suffice. I live in Alaska and a .44 is plenty.
I know a .44 will do, but the only way you could *ever* get me into the Alaskan wilderness if you gave me a .45-70. It's a matter of confidence, and that's the bare-minimum that it would take for me to go hiking through bear country. I'd only start getting comfortable around the time you gave me the 30 mm cannon off an A-10 Thunderbolt.
AR 15. With 5.56 for me
degree7 . if a 5.56 can't stop a grizzly why don't they make body armor out of bearskin and helmets out of bear skull . 5.56 can go through type 3 armor . i dont care about a humane kill , i want to end the threat .
degree7 some don't have the knowledge of ammo and firearms. Lol took me time to figure that out, although with UA-cam it's easy to learn fairly fast.
I wish this is how bicyclists on the road would react to a car charging from behind.
Doe ! It’s amazing how fast you reacted phew !
I'm glad you bear through this traumatic situation.
Do you think that your breaks were sounding like a wounded animal to the bear, then when it saw you, it looked like it was slowing down. I wonder what it would have done if you would have stood your ground. That high pitched squeaking of your breaks probably made the bear think of like a wounded something....
Sounded just like a fawn in distress
Nop. Mama bear always protects the cubs, which you see she has one with her. Surprising a female bear is what can get you in some serious trouble
I'm pretty sure they're called brakes, same as on a car.
Listen to a fawn in distress or any common animal in distress sound and then listen to your breaks. They do sound similar and likely could have caused this.
Shit!!!!
I had that, when my brake oil accidentally leaked on the brake disc. I had to replace the disc and the pads, because washing it in petrol and cleaners didn't have any effect.
I remember this video....this was INSANE! That bear was charging with only one intention 👀
The grizzly heard so much about the fish with a bicycle he wanted a bike too.
Wow what a great camera, it even captured the smell emanating from your shorts 😣
Awesome video! I hike and ride in bear country a lot and always wondered how I'd react in a situation like this. "Oh Shit!" seems very appropriate.
The squeak of the bikes brakes sounded like a wounded animal attracting the bear 🐻 crazy !!!!
Plot twist: Bear was trying to ask if he could use your bicycle
It was your squeaky breaks that caused this.... Sounds exactly like a dying critter call to
Bring in predators... This bear probably was following you for a while
The squeaky brakes probably saved him since it alerted the bear. If it weren't for the noise, he may have closed in on the bear to where he would've have surprised it or as in the case of Montana last month, collided with it.
+Ken Takabe it was a female and she attacked because of her cubs.. he's lucky they've been known to run you for a mile.. the steep hill saved him.. Bear's don't like running down hill
+Chinaski that and she must of deemed him no longer a threat..He is extremely lucky
logan swanson Following? he was biking right towards it..
+Layla B YEAH your exactly right.. I pointed that out earlier.. THAT'S why she didn't pursue him further because she deemed him as no longer a threat
2:42. Fuck that thing is fast. A human would have no chance escaping.
You are correct with this comment. Lets suppose it followed through with it's intent. Those two harmless Boys would have some serious damage done to them if not fatal. The sad part is that the cubs learn form it. There were 2 of them. More trouble to come. Bears often have twins.......do the math. We are getting to many of them and are becoming a problem as we see here.
semtech30 Are they really though? This is where they live and these men were riding bikes right through there. I don't think I would say they were in the wrong if the men got killed. But if there is actual statistical data supporting that they are becoming overpopulated, then I guess you are right.
Onlyrealmusic4life Facts. Jasper park is in Alberta along side the boarder of British Columbia. "This video" is in the Rocky Mountain range. Estimate 25,000 Grizzly bears in Canada in which 14 to 16,000 reside in B.C.alone. The Latin term is Ursus arctos horribilis....meaning "bear horrible" That's a fact. We share their environment and control their populations. We have to, because of this. There is no shortage despite the Save the Bear campaign's ongoing. This is political posturing by the naturalist onlookers totally deceived. Google ( bearsinbc.com.) for an understanding in the matter. There is no argument. Idle onlookers are do nothing people. These animals must be kept in check for their own well being. Nothing can have free reign on our environment. We do not deserve to die at the hand of an animals uncontrolled instincts. They do not reason.
semtech30 I heard it is illegal to carry firearms in this area. Why is that? It seems like these men are pretty far from civilization or anyone that could save them if they were attacked….Are guns only allowed during hunting seasons? I'm not much of a gun or hunter myself so I don't know much about this
You from Canada? That's cool. I had only heard of a black bear overpopulation in Canada, I didn't know grizzlies were a problem now too.
I think sometimes people get too attached to animal rights. Of course we are more complex thinkers, but that can sometimes lead to us getting killed, because like you said "they do not reason".
Onlyrealmusic4life National parks and Provincial parks are Ranked at different management levels. Some are restricted and some are not. Jasper is protected and only special issue permits for hunting may be allowed to control populations. Then animal rights people call it trophy hunting. Well call it what you want , it is a cull in the name of Wildlife Management. These mountain bikers would not be far from the main gate which means those Bears should not be this low on the mountain range. Bears are not a herd animal therefore they get pressured to find new territory by Bigger Bears. If not managed they end up on the Hwy getting hit by Freight Trucks anyhow. Even hunters get killed by these Bugger's. Totally unpredictable. I don't go where I cannot be armed. British Columbia is all mountains from the West Coast range to the Rockies. All of it is forested and people live mainly in the Valley's. More Wildlife are killed by vehicle contact than Hunting. Really pissed me off when they pick on Hunters.
I wouldn't cycling around there without a riffle on my back.
Yes you would. It's a national park, and all weapons must be sealed.

There is almost nothing more dangerous than a mother grizzly bear protecting its cub. Those guys are lucky the mama was satisfied with a bluff charge.
amazing footage. Hiking is one of my biggest hobbies and this is probably one of my biggest nightmares. Most people who startle a protective mama-bear don't get away without injuries...
Scared the heck outa me! Wow!! What was your buddy packing?
The fact that this video has been uploaded proved that you two good bastards survived the ordeal. That's what counts.
Figured as much, Mama had babies out there.. People really should be more aware if they're gonna be out on bear turf 🐻🐻
For those of you that just want the goods. 0:33
I thought I was looking athe bear the whole time he was standing there.
European here: Why the fuck are you goin into woods where bears live?
This "Ohhuuu shit" earns the Oscar for the best "last words of man who doesn't want to die but death was looking at him and he literally looks back" 🤣🤣😂😭😂
I would have been scared as fuck.
For once a non-fake video on UA-cam!
+elementneon is this sarcasm?
+333999 Blackbeard No? This is a real video by everything I can tell. But search "Grizzly chases" on youtube to see what i mean, you'll go down the rabbit hole of all the fake youtube videos.
sorry to say, your eye may not as trained to spot fakeness as you thought, but this is faker than the presidential election elementneon
+333999 Blackbeard sorry to say, you are wrong.
Brad Paras you're right, this IS real, i mixed it up with another video where a bear is chasing a biker, thanks for correcting me!
I wonder if the sound of your brakes, that sounds similar to the wine of a young deer or yearling might have attracted the bear, LOL
How does he live himself knowing
that he ran away like coward instead of squaring up and fighting like a man? SAD!!!
Chad Jiles first of all that was a grizzly bear even and shutgun wont stop him if it was a black bear you may fight him in a one on one fight but a fucking grizzly bear?
PickACard Whoosh --->>>>
Mike P not really that wasnt a joke at all
PickACard I thought he was. There’s no point in even trying to fight a bear. You better have bear spray or a Desert Eagle lol
Mike P The original commenter was joking, you were right lol
I was walking my dogs in northern Wisconsin on a logging trail, rounded a corner and came right upon a black bear cub playing with a stick. The dogs were kind of startled, but they stayed quiet and I immediately turned and led them away as fast as I could go. I still wonder how close the mother was. Probably not far, but the few bears around the area where our cabin is are basically domesticated. There are multiple restaurants that feed them every night as kind of a show. It is still scary to see one in the woods, knowing they could just tear you apart if they felt like it. I would crap my pants if a grizzly charged me...
local law enforcement suggests that every time an individual ventures into the woods should carry a .44 magnum revolver because they know this shit happens all the time in there, for the mother of god it's the fucking woods you people.
+Nes This is a National Park in Canada. Firearms are prohibited and the bears are carefully monitored by rangers. Accidents like this can happen, though.
He’s got that bear spray. And wow, what a tumble

place I'd hate to get a flat in
@Brian apparently they didnt ban him as his comment is still here. It is quite a gross name though
I remember one time while hiking with my girlfriend in northern Alberta, a huge brown bear came charging at us out of nowhere. Boy was she mad - I reckon we were near one of her cubs. Anyway, if I had not had my little Beretta Jetfire I would not be here today.
Just one shot to my girlfriend's kneecap was all it took... the bear got her and I was able to escape by just walking at a brisk pace.
Holy crap man! Glad nothing bad happened to either of you. It doesn't always end up like The Great Outdoors. Stay safe!
The bear heard the bike and thought it was a cat meowing.
Damn dude! I'm glad you two made it out of that.
all the city people in this comment section are hilarious.
Gotta love urban ignorance.
sorry from us urban people. sorry cause we are so scared out you tree huggers and ur granola bars. LMAO!!
So what are you supposed to do, ride your bike into the bears mouth?
Nothing like a cocky fucking know it all!
Unfortunately for me, there are bears in my city
The bear was just minding his own business... 😁
