Some of you may have seen this, but here it is for those that haven't:

Click on the button to make it Full Screen and during the slow motion portion, you can see the biker duck and a tiny bit of a lean as the deer begins his jump.

I think there's just a few bikes out this day. Some of you may even recognize and know where it is!

I had a deer encounter on the Natchez Trace Parkway outside of Nashville. You don't see them coming until it's too late. This one got close enough to my front tire where I could see the hair on the side. I was lucky though, but it was a bit nerve racking. Deer are almost as dangerous as cell phone talking teenagers.
