If it’s not too late, I’d like to offer a pointless prize:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]13173[/ATTACH]
This is what’ll getcha it.
For you selfie daredevils out there, this is the Danger Panda Pointless Prize:
To qualify, you must:
- Take a current pic or vid from overhead and have at least a little of both the bike and yourself in the picture
- Have both hands off the bars
- Be in forward motion and not be leaning on anything or anyone
- Be riding a bike. Tandems and trikes don’t count.
- Be looking into the camera (at least 1 eyeball visible)
- Not crash after taking the picture
- Wear a helmet. We don’t necessarily have to see the helmet, but if it’s clear you’re not wearing one, it won’t count.
Doing all the above will get you 1 point. The following will get you more points:
- +1 for each foot visibly off the pedals
- +1 for each foot on the top tube
- +1 for video of and done by yourself in the danger panda position (3 second minimum)
If you’re crazy enough and do all of the above, you can max out at 6 points (1 for entry, +2 for both feet off the pedals, +2 for both feet on the top tube, +1 for video). This danger panda pic of Dirt (which I’m using without his permission) is an almost perfect score of 5. A vid would have gotten him 6 points.
IMG_1500 by Pete Beers, on FlickrEach picture is graded separately (i.e., points are not cumulative from all your entries). The pic with the most points wins. If there are ties, there will be a vote by the forum for a winner.
Please accept your own actions, and do NOT:
- Get hurt
- Attempt if you don’t know how to use a camera while riding a bike
- Try it if you aren’t totally comfortable riding with no hands and doing silly stuff on the bike.
- Try this in traffic or around cars
- Sue me
I won’t take responsibility for anyone hurting themself!
Post the picture or video in this thread, or a link to it so it’s easy to find. Entries accepted now (2/12/17) until Freezing Saddles 2017 ends.
Begin!

Do I get any points for crossing eyes?!
No sir, but if you crossed your legs, that would be a +2 (because both feet would be off the pedals
). This one is a 1 pointer.@drevil 157000 wrote:

I’m getting an aneurysm trying to even imagine how this is done
The only way I can think of someone crossing their legs so that their feet end up on the pedals of the opposite side is on an observed trials bike, but if you’ve seen them before, they’re about as weird a bike as you can get (see video below). After feet firmly placed on opposite pedals (and no place to sit!), no hands on the bars, looking skyward then taking a picture or video (and not crash)? Welp, you’ve not only automatically won this pointless prize, you’ll probably get at least 1 million hits on Youtube and an interview on the Today morning show!
Plus, I’ll even buy you a beer.

Ride sitting backwards. Then the feet are on the opposite pedals.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]14301[/ATTACH]No points since her hands on the handles.
Not sure what the ruling is for butt on handlebars, though.

Going for the tie. One foot clearly off the pedal (you can even zoom in and see the empty pedal).
Although I was lovingly gazing at the camera, it was not lovingly gazing back into my eyes. Fail.[ATTACH=CONFIG]14303[/ATTACH]
However, I do submit this much better 1-pointer to replace my lame previous one.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]14304[/ATTACH]I need a longer arm or something (selfie-stick?)
Haha, finally! 1 shiny point for this pic.
Why does it always look like you’re standing still though, as if you set up a trainer in the middle of the bike path to take your pics? :confused:
I found the solution so you can get more of yourself and bike in the pic, but more importantly, to dispel the rumor that you are using adult training wheels.

So without SteveO, it’s just “DangPanda”?
Still waiting for a slicks-on-snow DangPandaer, SteveO!
Thanks for playing, players! Today’s the last day, so get your Danger Pandas in before midnight tonight if you want a chance at Squeaky. I got a little silly and combined the Danger Panda Challenge with the Best Sock Challenge
What, me worry?

I didn’t get the full panda in the end but I figured I would post my attempts.
Great choice for a pointless prize challenge! It was scary but fun!

It looks to me like you were able to do a Danger Panda in the daylight candycane-striped shirt: 1 point… unless you crashed after?
Thanks!
