5 Friday Fails Compilations

 Wanna buy a bike, one carefull lady owner, never been jumped!

 Yikes

 I always love the ads that say never crashed- then you weren't riding it.

 @jdtheconfessor1: What's never been jumped? The bike or the lady?

 @jdtheconfessor1:
do u mean, the lady owner never been "jumped"?

 @lepak1corner: Hucked!!

 @timmyelle: "One lady owner" is the classic line 2nd hand car dealers use in the UK, it's supposed to mean that it hasn't been...how shall I say this...driven hard.

 @jdtheconfessor1: nailed it!

 @jdtheconfessor1: If it's true it also means it has seen zero maintenance, only fixed when something breaks down.

 A friend of mine bicycled from Sweden to central Africa, 5000km. He sold his bike the next season. He wrote in the ad "Used one season".

 Vid #2, did that guy who's body cased the Woodward sign survive?

 @joni0001984: Hahaha. Thats awesome. Good for them. Cant call them a liar.

 Additional thanks to "poor judgement," and "riding buddies" (which can also fit under poor judgement).

 Hey don't forget ''the over boosted self-confidence''.

 especially when it ran out on juice.

 It's the only way we let e-bikes on pinkbike!

 ...or a dropper post ????

 haha, i try an learn from these fails.

 @Brenos: yeah don't do backflips

 I wonder what's in store for the spectators that keep ringing the cowbells after the rider goes down.

ding-ding-ding-ding
*crash*
ding-ding-ding
look out buddy. . .

 That woodward guy? He actually screwed up his spine fairly bad, also destroyed his C-2 if I remember correctly.

 I can't even figure out the physics on that one. Looks like one of those CGI ragdoll animations. It's takes some doing to crash so hard it looks fake.

 @siderealwall2: Ha Ha Haaa...Oh...Poor guy, I feel bad now...

 @siderealwall2: just so you know, I can laugh histerically and still feel sorry for them. Most of these people get hurt to a certain degree. And I don't give a flying sht what people think of my moral code. If you want to judge me, please do.

 can someone remind me what happened there? it's like somebody edited out a critical second in that video- what the hell flung him forward so suddenly? it's like a poorly made, physically impossible, movie stunt... only real

 @Schizo: Last time that clip came up someone suggested that he caught his ass on the back wheel right before it left the dirt. Bike abruptly stops on takeoff but rider keeps going.

 I still remember best comment on this one:

 @WAKIdesigns: crap, I accidentally +1'd you. Meant to -1. Bottom line is if we don't set some sort of standard of behaviour for each other, than we turn into a bunch of self-centered savages.

 @rrolly: hard to justify that comment when things like UFC are pretty socially acceptable. That clip isn't any worse. Personally I can't say I enjoy either.

 @rrolly: yea same goes for being judgmental and recreational virtue signalling... And since you use prop system and double down by talking about it, your judgement is worth nothing to me. Byt it makes me curious, what do you know about psychology and societal norms/ behaviors?

 @fullfacemike:

I had basically the same crash at the start of the year. Not as big of a jump and not as high. I also didn’t rotate as much as he did, I landed flat on my back followed by the crankset to the face once the bike found me.

But what caused it for me was bad habits and stupid decisions. Brought my trail bike to the jumps instead of my dirt jumper (stupid decision), and came into a set with a bit to much speed which is fine, I can correct for that. However I was on the trail bike so my fingers were hovering the brakes (bad habit) and for some reason right off of the lip my finger grabbed a bunch of front brake. Seen the bike disappear from under me as my body started an unwanted front flip. Landed flat on my back, knocked the wind outta me, was in a severe amount of pain right away. Broke my collar bone and bruised a bunch of ribs, got to spend summer on the beers instead of the bike though.

 @WAKIdesigns: There's a significant difference between judging a person and judging behaviours. Judging a person assumes superiority. No desire to judge you whatsoever.

 @rrolly: hmmm... judging behaviors can be a sneaky way to run away with judging people... But I like how you recognized my behavior as a threat to society

 not me lol

 5% SRAM brakes

 nothing...want to avoid 99% of mtb injuries...don't go fast and don't jump. Boring for some maybe but you can go to work the next day and ride again the following day.

 @cartoon: and play with your kids. I gave up the big stuff a few years ago and have a policy of no more then a foot off the ground. I learnt the hard way when I fractured a pair of vertebrae about 10 years ago.

 Nothing, but you can easily fuck yourself up trail riding too. Plenty of guys breaking bones on the XC trails near me.

 @onemind123: If you watch these vids carefully, you will find that all of these riders are one foot off the ground at some point. . .

 There are two lines that use the same landing. Stupid design, especially for a bike park.

 This looks like cervical fracture to me... bruuuutal

 @GnarAZ: Looks like his head is about to pop off. Lucky he isnt paralyzed, if he isnt that is.

 Agreed. For started, 100% of these crashes were filmed, which means if someone takes footage of you riding, you have a 100% chance of crashing. I think that's how statistics works.

 @iamamodel: My rule has always been you can't film me when I'm guinea-pigging, so to speak. If you film the first hit, you're asking for trouble.

 Went to ride an area i hadn't for ages and all the "less official" trails have had the doubles filled in. Lower risk but far safer given how sketchy a lot of them were to begin with.
