The terrifying moment a snowboarder is unknowingly chased down the slope by a bear

Kelly Murphy hadn’t a care in the world as she sang along to Rihanna at Hakuba 47 in Japan.

SNOWBOARDER KELLY MURPHY decided to make a video of herself on a visit to the Hakuba 47 resort in Japan over the weekend.

What Kelly doesn’t realise as she travels down the slopes singing along to Rihanna’s Work, however, is that there’s an alarmingly-large bear in hot pursuit.

The animal comes dangerously close before she picks up some pace and leaves it in her tracks.

Seemingly unaware of the encounter, Murphy wrote under the YouTube video:

OMG! I was going through my snowboarding videos and I found a bear chasing me!!! I nearly got eaten!!! This was at Hakuba 47 in Japan, filmed yesterday! Be careful people!!!”

Frightening stuff.

    When people wonder why there are so few players produced in Ireland, this is why.

    @Exiled Dub: agreed. You need a feeder of some sort..expecting to pick off the best players once they move on from underage is not a viable strategy

    Should serve as a warning to a few once big sides. If they don’t partner up with a schoolboy section they risk going defunct in a few short years. There are a few LSL sides that have a great history but are on their last legs.
    And partnerships have to work both ways so they need to be bringing something to the table.

    There are too many clubs in city’s and the country in general , if a guy can’t get a game with a club he will leave , he is not prepared to fight for his place anymore , this is just one problem . Also the standard of schoolboy player coming through is not of a standard to push for a place in a decent side , and if they are ? Then the academy’s will snap them up and promise them Loi football . These are only two problems outside of the obvious ones , which I won’t go into here .
