He was wearing a helmet cam, which captured the whole thing.

Clearly the mountain bike had the right of way.

Souza posted to Instagram, he careens around a corner into a shaded area, where the small bear crossing his path is somewhat difficult to see.

Souza then t-bones the bear, flips over his handlebars and lands on the rocky trail. 

"Oh fuck!" he can be heard yelling as he jumps to his feet. 

As he looks back up the trail, grunting, the bear is nowhere to be seen. His friends then catch up to him.

"That was a bear," Souza tells them.
