 So many of these are repetitive already shown. Yet yhe one on my profile still hasn't made it a year later?? It's good I promise.

 15 and 16 are both repeats AFAIK

 Were there any new ones other than the very first one?

 Wicked deja vu here.

 It says in the video description: “Enjoy some of our best throwback videos from 2020!”

 @rickybobby19: I think this whole episode is a repeat.

 Until they stop showing the Defender ad a 2nd time in the middle (or any ad), I’m boycotting Friday Fails. Totally ruins the mood!

 @nsteele: Good! We will have less of these ad comment fails every Friday! Mike Levy

 Maybe some of them will stick it the second time?

 whoa whoa whoa...you need to ease us into the fails before throwing #1 at us...that was jarring

 I started the video thinking "I wonder if any will be really brutal....and immediately got my answer. Trees and gravity always win.

 That was a bloody phucking murderfest of brutes McGoots!

 Is kinda werd to look someone in the eyes while he's crashing!

 BTW, the last camera angle I'm interested in is the one that just shows your face.

 #15 - Isn't this the same wall that gets featured a several times a year? If so, does it have an appropriate name like "the windowmaker" or the "the mangler"? Maybe "the consequence"?
  • 3 0
 That wall doesn't even look like it could be ridden by the average park visitor. It's set back from the trail and there are no tracks leading up to it. There are no tracks actually on it. I think it's put there to physically fence off the trail from that road behind it. It did it's job that day for sure - in a very painful way.

 Can we have a week where they are only included if the rider is laughing afterwards.... please. And yes lots of these are repeats.
  • 1 0
 I still demand a Taco Tuesday.
  • 3 0
 Does it count if the camera person is laughing?
  • 4 0
 We can call it "friendly fails".

I too feel better about the crashes knowing even the participants found them hilarious.

The ones where they crunch, and don't move at the end... those are rough, and I don't really enjoy watching those ones.

 @VtVolk: probably yeah

 PB how come the one on the opening since is not counted ? should be included in the voting, no ? that one that was pretty gnarly. One was just straight KO, I wonder if number 7 shoulder was fine? Hope so
  • 1 0
 Define worst, which is quite a broad term, are we talking nastiest or most pathetic? We should also have a best fail option! That would go to the fella who hit the wall ride with the helmet cam!

 What a week! Keep up the lord's work everybody!

 15 - Not sure he gets what a wall ride is supposed to be.
  • 1 0
 I don't think that's a wall ride, although I guess with enough skill somebody could use it as one.
  • 1 0
 @dcaf: Oh wow, even though this has been here a few times, I had to go back and look and you're right, it'd be a pretty technical wallride! Wonder if it's there to prevent riders from catapulting themselves onto the road or into the rocky gutter behind it?
  • 2 0
 #1 was bad, but the perspective and the dreadful anticipation of taking that wall on the corner at speed of #15 took it for me.
  • 3 0
 Love the reaction in#20 (and 21, for that matter). Definitely the most appropriate response!
  • 2 0
 Pretty sure that was a Mom Cackle.

 Hope everyone learned the lesson of why proper corridor clearing and tree limbing is important.
  • 2 0
 Dude #15 looks brutal. Just getting hung out to dry like a towel over that fence.
  • 1 0
 My man must be hurting everywhere after that one woof. Like a game of crash bingo with extra credit. I hope it’s just a perspective thing but #7 looks like he goes head first into that tree.
  • 2 0
 It was brutal in the first 5 FF's it was in, now you know what is coming.
  • 1 0
 What happened in #24? Heard a pop, can't see anything. Reminiscient of what happened when I broke my chainstay in a berm though.

 Sunday giving up after 20 years of abuse?

 1,7 and 13–all head impacts, and the first 2 are trees. Those provide the most deceleration on the brain - solid and unforgiving object means we absorb the energy.
  • 6 4
 The add in the middle of the video.
  • 7 2
 (Worst fail of the video)

 Maybe that is the new fail of the year along with all the reports of ads in these videos!

 This looked like more of a "best fails of 2023 video"

 # 28 with the boom cam took an almost gravity-defying trajectory.
Alas, gravity still prevailed.........
