 @Dropthedebt: look for the Slash. It looks like a Trek.

 @iliveonnitro: I don't really know what a Trek Slash looks like, but if you're from SanJo I'm gonna guess it's one of the Tahoe-ish clips or something that looks like it could be at Carlmont...."are you alright?"

 If biking doesn't work out for them, they should consider rock climbing. Grip strength for days.

 @rrolly: They say he's still out there, holding on with that death grip, spotted now and again like a ghost ship. Last week somebody saw him on A-Line, hazy outlines of where his pedals used to be. Then yesterday a footless apparition was spotted descending Morzine. Aye, soon enough they say he'll be nothin' but handlebars and his upper body fused to the frame of his saddle.

 Mad props to that dude. Knew he was coming in wrong and just got steezy anyway. "Awwwwww sh*t. This doesn't look good. might as well bust a tabletop before I eat it."

 It's horrific to see how many people hit jumps long before they're ready.

Where I live the forestry service just bulldozed many of the jump lines I rode daily and so I can't help being frustrated when I see people getting so in over their heads; they risk ruining trail networks for everyone.
  • 6 0
 Agreed. According to Friday Fails, 95% of crashes are caused by poor jump skills. That's the reason I keep wheels on the ground!
  • 9 0
 @Skooks: It's the reason to start small and progress once you're ready. I'm 100% behind jumping, and I feel like learning to jump can be fun and relatively painless but people need to have respect for what they're trying to do.
  • 2 0
 @Skooks: So you still have a 5% chance to show us, come on be a sport.

 @snomaster: Yesterday I was practising drops (finally made the biggest one) and a guy came to me and asked specifically to film him vertically. I agreed, now I feel like a traitor. Sorry guys.

 Unicycling your front wheel with your undercarriage riding the stem is the worst feeling, aside from being injured. Especially with your feet off the pedals. The rear wheel's in the air so can't use that to stop, the front brake will send you over the bars for sure... You can't bail. You're panicking. It's either use your feet to stop or ride out a 30% grade to the next corner... Then you hit a drop off a rock, the floor drops out and your seat scorpions you to the ground while your bar pinches your leg between it and the frame, crashing thru the ferns and stinging nettles onto the switchback below.

Is that doing it right?
  • 3 0
 Now, it might not be right but it works for me and if there's a tree heading my way well....bonus!

 This Week: Week of the nose dive. Also that first guy had it until he took his feet off.

 This week: Kids shouldn't extend jumps themselves, no-one knows which direction the landing is at, coming to a rest with your head against a tree isn't recommended and a whole lot of brake control that is not Remy-esque

 at 1:59 looks like he actually broke his nose ... ouch

 A few too many cringe worthy tree ninja and face scrubs today....I prefer the oooohhh that could have been so bad but they look ok clips....like the lone ranger kid who just rode off in a cloud of dust and someone joked still hasn't come to a stop or the racer who full speed ejected into the brush searching for a shortcut. Friday wouldn't be the same without you FF.
  • 2 1
 That.Was.Brutal...
The sound of bones breaking was way too frequent for my liking- brings back too many bad memories.
I can't remember when I last saw a FF with so much serious pain in such a short period of time.
Now to watch it again... :-)

 2:37 went deep on that hip. He/she Probably had that feeling in the air when when you notice the landing is too far behind you and then your adrenaline spikes as you prepare for impact.

 OTB or not OTB, that is the question.

 OTB. There ain't no question.

 When someone adds a title to their crash “Malala Crash, June 3, 2020”, you expect it to be spectacular, not some kid rolling over a double and then his bell gently ringing as he tips over. Got a good laugh though.
  • 1 1
 The first crash in the video happens as he is anxious, when he leaves the ground he tries to pinch the frame with his legs thus removing pressure from the pedals and blows a foot off on landing, the rest was inevitable!

Where is the rest, are these Friday Fails videos not usually longer than 4 minutes? Boo!

 every week I think the same thing while watching POV crashes: "how do these people wreck so hard and not make a single sound?!" Maybe it's just me, but whenever I fall I make all kinds of weird grunts and cries.

 The number of OTB's here make a pretty strong case that head tube angles aren't slack enough. Clear evidence that we need the Grim Donut

 2:52 I appreicate the bones of previous dead bikes laying right next to the jump to warn others.....even though the rider ignored the warning this time.
  • 1 1
 This one was very prevalent so I keep wondering why people don't shift their weight back when doing steep descents or drops. A lot of these crashes are easily avoidable with some proper weight distribution on the bike.

 3:22 —- I figured a fork would snap in half no questions asked , when cased like that. You learn something new...

 I almost ate $*!+ today commuting to work. Chain tried to come off the road bike at speed while merging into a lane. 2 good foot plants saved the day. If I was clipped in I would have been smeared all over the pavement. #FlatPedals unless I'm riding 50+ miles.

 @Adamrideshisbike: I see... there are many pretty good mountains near Seoul to ride a mountain bike.You can enjoy a mountain bike if you drive in any direction for about 30 minutes. Of course, you can ride a bike or...By the way, a foreigner who knows Hite...Haha~

 I can't tell what's the most dangerous. Flat pedals, jumps, or cameras?
  • 3 0
 flat pedals are actually safer than click pedals. Having that extra 1/2 second to separate yourself from the bike can make all the difference when
1. Coming up short on a jump
2. Looping out of a manual
3. Over shooting a gap to flat when you are about to land way too heavy on the front wheel.
4. Any time you need to quickly foot plant.
Clip in pedals hinder skill progression.
