A video of a biker being taken out by a buck has gone viral. Except, the buck never actually hit him.

After passing a sign warning of deer ahead, this group of bikers encountered a buck preparing to be on Santa’s 2017 team, which darted out onto the road and successfully jumped over one of the bikes.

Unfortunately for the motorcyclist, since it’s May he wasn’t expecting the deer’s training session to start so soon, and so he ducked under the deer and ended up dropping his bike.

Fortunately, the rider and the deer were OK, and the motorcyclist was able to get back on his bike and continue riding.
