@UPBike: comon now, that could have been anyone of us a couple of years ago with the right amount of [insert party material of choice here], a camera and a few of those friends your parents referred to as bad apples.
That kid is probably going to be a lawyer or a doctor someday.
@CSharp: A little off color for the times, but all the downvotes for a pun.... c'mon. Where are all these armchair defenders against maxillofacialphobia, that group gets a lot of hate on here.
@kmo344: Manualing OFF something is really tough to learn. You're thinking "don't drop the nose, don't drop the nose, don't drop the nose" so what does your brain do? Drops the nose. Definitely one of those don't-think-too-hard tricks.
IMO, if you are attempting a move that 90% of riders can't do, that's not failure. Manualling 90% of a wooden bridge, or almost backflipping, or almost doing a 360; I don't really think these qualify.
That rule only applies when you are IN the 10%, for the rest of us doing so without gloves, full face helmet, body armour or any thought is what gets you on Friday fails and often the ER.
1:17 was making the infamous "sound" before she/he/it hit the ground.. also the grunty response from the camera person was the icing on the cake! Close your eyes and tell me what you think the whole scene sounds like....
Can't tell if at 0:55 the dropper just imploded or if the bike avenged itself on buddy's helmet. If it was bike revenge, that cracking sound from the helmet is on the chilling side.
