Video: Friday Fails #166

 He ate the phone mount?

 I don't know.... watching that e-biker eat it on the stairs was up there too.

 Q U A D L O CK

 last second front brake grab!

 he just hit warp speed of 18. should have kept her at around 15

 The weight of that phone will surely cause that front end to dive on jumps resulting in an OTB

 I'm surprised the phone stayed on!

 Ha ha, looked like he was grabbing some front brake just before lift off. Excellent! Too many good ones today to comment on.

 @mtbmaniatv: Wonder if he ate it Imperially or metrically, Imperially would hurt more I believe.

 @mtbmaniatv: more like 7-9 Parsecs

 @lake-st: Imperial, or Empire? Because if he hit the Kessel Run at 18 parsecs...

 @flaflow: There was no way that guy was gonna out run an empirical star destroyer with jumping skills like that

 I hope his phone broke.....so......hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Just hitting a random jump in the middle of a field.

 @low-n-slow: an Apple a day keeps the doctor away !

 @likeittacky: is the type of guy that doesn't wear a helmet cuz thats only for guys who fall down.

 5g reception, then 5g deceleration.

 17, 18, 19, 0

 dude needs his helmet on properly, that whipped off far too quick

 @T4THH: what are those dangly bits hanging down for?

 one of my fav comms all-time. well played.

 What could possibly go wrong?

 @withdignityifnotalacrity: lol. hope he threw his phone to the other side first

 I guess that in reality your preference would depend on whether, after said slam, you're okay or not.

 Couple of nice Sliders in there aswell...

 The irony is it's a completely pointless question. Pretty common for people to pop right up after a crash and be "okay" only to realize over the next few minutes as the adrenaline wears off and the pain sets in that actually they're not ok.

If I recall correctly, for example, that's what happened with BCPov in his most recent crash, the one where he broke his scaphoid. OTBed, said he was ok, rode the rest of the way down the mountain and only as he was riding down did he realize something more serious was wrong.

The best thing your friends could do, I think, is laugh like hyenas but then tell you to sit down for 15 minutes or so and THEN see if you're ok before continuing the ride.

 @charliewentoutside: Completely agree. Don't ask if your friends are OK, because they don't know the answer. Just tell them to take it easy, get up slowly, and check themselves and their bike before continuing.

Even if they're totally uninjured, they're likely to be high enough on adrenaline that they end up like my friend who crashed off a big drop, got up, and then crashed again 100 feet down the trail when he discovered he was riding with his handlebars backwards.

 epic friday fails submission? check!

 Haha, I noticed that also. Why wear a helmet if it's gonna break apart on your next ride?

 @CSharp: A few feet of duct tape and that helmet will be good as new!

 I thought it was painted to look like that. lol

 @RayDolor: Can you get MIPS tape?

 @fraserw: I thought it twas the Monster Energy logo. lol

 100%!

 Flatten the jumps but leave the drug den factory...government at work!

 Sounds like classic less-than-useless government work at its finest.

 sad. i hate stuff like that

 Was going to say the same thing. RIP 63rd, I think it'll be back though. I hear there's still some landings that just need shovel work, but I haven't been out to see for myself.

An acquaintance who lives by the Gunbarrel jumps has seen people out working on those since 63rd got 'dozed, maybe we'll see a migration out that way for big jumps in Boulder County. That would be cool, I remember seeing those a long time ago and they were so dialed it was scary. Massive, steep, BMX-style gap jumps.

Also, the attitude of both the government and the populace towards the homeless is atrocious, and it's much better here in CO than many other places in the US. Poor people with mental illnesses and addictions deserve empathy and help, not hatred and discrimination. I don't give a shit if you think begging is morally wrong somehow, or if they are criminals; they're still human for literal Christ's sake.

 @getsendywithit: I didn't know they were thinking about relocating

 @getsendywithit: I hit The jump that was in the video like a month before they tore it down

 Now all the kids can do crack in the next by factory instead of biking,yeah it is real hahahahaha

 Boulder is full of out of touch rich liberal yuppie 'hippies' who are so detached from reality it's scary. All my homes hate Boulder.

 Heartbreaking. That the real Friday fail

 @TheLoamDeranger: stfu

 @ShAshEE1234: Found a yuppie!

 LOL - almost spit my tea over my keyboard!

 Maybe he thought it was KPH, I'm sure the lesson was learnt either way

 88mph would have been better

 If you watch it looks like he grabs a whollllllle bunch of front brake just as he's leaving the jump.

 maybe he was going for saturday sends, not like they would allow him with that phone there anyway!!

 Those jumps about 1km from my house. I've had my share of fails on them as well.

 Not a matter of speed. The weight of the device made him nose dive.

 Every week there's at least one sea to sky fail. Love it. Can admit to having crashed my first time on the whaletail too. It's a tricky feature

 @notthatfast: we've all crashed on the whaletail... right?

 Kurwa?

 @lkubica: kurva!

 I've had this happen to me twice, factory recommended torque is not my friend. No I go over a bit.

 People around here wear them and don't even wear helmets when road riding. Some people are only breathing because society has bubblewrapped their otherwise would-survive-10-minutes lives.

 I get the spacial respect for this pandemic, mask up etc. But it boggles my mind when I see other cyclists (Road or MTB) just wearing a mask while out riding. On my local trail systems there's always a few people that use them whilst doing their activity.

 @lehott: I tried shoveling snow this winter with a mask on when my neighbor I was helping out asked me if I should be wearing a mask, not because she was concerned with the virus but because of the snow that was flying into my face. So, I decided to put an N95 mask on. I couldn't believe how sweaty it was and I could hardly breath with the efforts of moving heavy snow. So, immediately, I took it off and what a relief! The snow blowing in my face was a godsend as it actually cooled me down. So, when I see cyclists wearing a mask on a climb, I'm just thinking they probably overheating and might pass out if they keep going all the way to the top!

 I wear a buff that I'll pull up over my nose and mouth if I'm passing people on a narrow trail. That's common courtesy IMO, even if the chance of transmission in that scenario is very low. I can't imagine just wearing a mask for the entire ride, though.

 “Yeah, I’m good so far, but let’s wait for the bike to land on my head before we call it.”

 It's like the bike is playing jai alai with your body.

 You must be new here

 Solve it? I embrace it.

 Rogers, AR... but yeah.

It's an "all-weather" park with great traction on all the black track... then they used a material for the wall rides that gets insanely slick with any moisture at all. Still love the place as a wet-weather option. Just avoid the wall rides when they're wet.

 @Hogfly: I cracked some ribs on that one in November. I was the 3rd rider in s row to wipeout and the park attendants said..."that was the 3rd, time to put up the cones". They put cones to block it off afterward. Slippery as goose poo.

 @Hebruce: my kid just broke his wrist there today (transfer from black slope line drop in to blue. Bike slid out on black line wood jump when he carved It to transfer) exactly a year after breaking two wrists at passion play. Universe is weird.

 Ya that guy definitely can't ride a bike anymore

 you can't make a comment without mentioning lockdowns huh?

 @conoat: neither can you

 @conoat: don't mind that as much as MattP76 and his anti carbon spiel. I agree with his opinion but he can go and climb into a bin with it

 All he had to do was grab a bit of brake mid air and that front wheel would have come right back down

 N/m, not that guy...he was already nose diving. Only a throttle can save nose dives. Throttle mid air and the nose drifts up. f*cked on a mtb tho

 Floppy ok, they just sucking for air or writhing in pain. More worrying when they don't move at all...

 I've crashed on it!

 To the down voters put your mask on when you go ride and leave it on; don't be hypocritical about it !

 Yep looks like it
