New owner of dirt bike pops a wheelie in front of seller... 'I told him to be careful!'
Dramatic video footage shows the moment a new dirt bike owner flies into a stop sign and off his vehicle after attempting to impress onlookers by doing a wheelie.
The rider named Rico suffered a nasty cut on his face but was able to get back up and walk in the resurfaced viral video on Instagram.
The clip was posted by Rico's brother who insisted he told his sibling to 'be careful' after just selling him the bike for $5,000.
But the young man appears to rally quickly from the fall responding 'hell yeah' when his brother asks if he is ok.
Rico posted multiple videos about the incident and a closeup of his bloody cut.

Rico originally posted the video on TikTok two years ago, which received less than 1,000 views.
The footage shows Rico attempting the stunt before veering to the left and straight into the sign.
He then falls off the bike and straight into the road.
He managed to walk away without limping, but the blood on his cheek was noticeable.
The cameraman insisted that Rico's safety was the most 'important thing' and that everyone could replace dirt bikes.
Besides TikTok, Rico posted the original video on his Instagram and called the incident 'unfortunate.'
Instagram users were happy to see that the driver was okay, but one person wrote more about what he should be doing in the future.
'Bro, if you want to be able to continue riding, just wear a helmet...,' an Instagram user wrote.
You don't have to wear anything else if you don't want to, but you need your head to survive. You're not impressing anyone riding without the stuff.'
Another Instagram user wrote: 'Almost broke your legs and arms and sliced your face just because you want some bruises - you're fried.
