Dave just wanted to ride with his friends in Veysonnaz, Switzerland. He soon discovered the hardest part of the day wasn't going to be the descent!

This poor fellow has the worst friends in the world. Or perhaps the best. Because it's only the best of friends who can stand by and laugh as you live out the number one nightmare of beginners everywhere.

All said and done, I'm not sure who I pity more in the video. Dave or the operator of the t-bar.

No, sorry, it's definitely Dave!
