Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.With a camera strapped to his head, downhill cyclist Marcelo Gutierrez has become a favourite for his seemingly death-defying rides down narrow streets and mountains.
The Colombian racer has battled narrow streets, dirt tracks and harsh climates, but this time Gutierrez, racing down the Taxco Urban Downhill circuit in Mexico, takes one turn too sharply and falls painfully off his bike.
A slippery corner sent the rider straight into the dirt on one of the fastest sections of the track – though fortunately, he came away relatively unhurt. The Colombian had a minor injury to one of the fingers on his right hand and is recovering well.
Luckily, Gutierrez was able to avoid any spectators, walls or telephone poles, and merely landed at the foot of some concrete steps.
Watch it unfold in the video below…
It surely won’t be long until his next video.
