A coffinboarder streaming live as he rode backward on an electric longboard (a trend called “coffinboarding”) suddenly spotted a black bear. He was very excited about it.

“It’s a bear! It’s a bear! That’s a bear! Oh my God, that’s a bear,” said Henry Poston in his now-viral video. “Oh, I’m so happy. This is the best day of my life!”

Poston stayed a distance from the bear and even warned others who were approaching to stay back. Some live viewers were encouraging him to go closer, but he waits until the bear leaves to cross the bridge it was on.
