 The dude that got taken out by the lady accidentally falling from a dead stop in front of him. Immediately more concerned about his riding buddy then himself before he was even done sliding. Thats good people. Props sir.

 Fantastic! Since I usually ride alone their was no one around to share in the joy as I rolled down the trail yelling “ my beans!” when the dropper didn’t go down before I hit the rocky section, and I slammed into the back of my seat. Now I feel like we can all enjoy this poor guys similar fate.

 I probably laughed harder than I needed to at that. Probably just nervous laughter because of the flashbacks. Probably.

 Learned a few things today:

1. Use your nut sack to absorb landings
2. Focus intently on trees and rocks you don't want to hit
3. HARD GRAB your front brake right before leaving the lip
4. Initiate a sharp turn immediately upon landing
  • 3 0
 5. Ensure your buddy is ready to congratulate you on your success with a proper "bruh! ...you good?"
  • 14 1
 The nut sack is an extra braking surface for those with the wandering shimano bite problem. Just jam them into the rear triangle to slow down.

 @SATN-XC: Why do they ask, "Are you good?" Clearly, they are not, otherwise they would not have crashed. Fact.

 5. Commit to the fail before it happens. You can see it in the position and body language of so many of the riders in these clips. If we had that kind of commitment between married couples, the divorce rate would be near zero.

 I don't think any of these people know that you have to pull up on the handlebars when jumping anything. It's almost as if they think Red bull actually does give them wings...
  • 32 3
 It's the preload that makes you fly, not "pulling up". Most of these people need to learn to push their bikes into the face of the jump as they go up it, instead of absorbing the jump and getting bucked or coming up short.

Thinking of it like a trampoline seems to be the most helpful metaphor. The more energy you push down into the trampoline, the higher you go. You can't leave the ground without first pushing against it, and the harder you push, the higher you go. Same with jumping.
  • 26 2
 anyone who says "Pull up" or "Lean back" in relation to jumping doesn't know what they're talking about
  • 3 1
 @plyawn: sounds like you are an expert at jumping
  • 4 0
 @rickybobby18: that’s the truth. it’s physics.
  • 3 0
 @plyawn: While this is true you would think that if you didn't know anything about jumping you would at the very least pull up on the bars. A few cases of people seemingly riding off things with their upper body weighting the bars.

 Friend who does not mountain bike: mountain biking is a fairly safe sport right?
Me: shows them Friday Fails.
  • 30 0
 compared to riding on the road w/ a bunch of distracted drivers....yes
  • 2 0
 Depends on whether or not you want said friend to ride mountain bikes with you.

 Las Vegas is not a bike friendly town, so I definitely feel safer bombing down the side of a mountain then riding on the road.

 @bdub5696: I may break a bone or get a concussion (and that's a risk I take), but there aren't any 2 ton deer texting on the phone in the woods that are going to run me over. You don't see many white bicycles on the trails. Wife's parents are road bikers and I've been trying to convince them to get a mountain bike for years (may be a gravel bike is what I need to direct them to).

 The last clip is basically my life right now.
"Hey things are going great I should manual this!!"
Then the inevitable crunch follows.
  • 7 0
 The 2nd clip. Did that noise come from the rider or the person recording? Also, 1st clip was epic even if it was a fail
  • 1 0
 The "Wooaahh!" was one of the other 'spectators', the "urgh" at the end was the rider. Poor Joe
  • 21 0
 the first clip was definitely heading for Saturday,, shame he came up a little short and ended up on Friday..

 90% of the time you can tell if a person is going to crash based on how they hold themselves going into to jump / feature...the other 10% just got lucky
  • 5 1
 @ 0:58....dude! I hope he's okay but WHY would you attempt that drop?! ...could tell he had nowhere near enough confidence on that bike to attempt that in the way he rolled in. Let your buddies do that, have a beer, and just ride around it.

 3.10 "I'm good". To be fair, if you were good you wouldn't have just ridden off the side of that woodwork.

 ER docs should watch these too, and get a sense of what injuries are going to be rolling into the ward. Looks like collar bone would be most popular?

 It's so nice to see so many people going to the same riding school. Remember when going off drops or jumps, lock both your arms and legs, do not shift your body weight, success.

 3:42 might be one of my favourite fails of all time. Simple, (not) elegant. Mainly, the editing was perfect. Long lead-in to total failure, with a quick cut away.

That and a lot of new used bikes for sale.

 Hah!! They called me the faceplant 35 years ago cuz i deadsailored 8 ft in the air onto my face in a bmx race. Smashed it up pretty good. Broke my neck. Why? Cuz i was SHOWING OFF. I paid a price. These people are paying that price too! Its good to get your face beat to a pulp just to look like Remy. Things is........., YOUR NOT REMY!!!! Learn the basics. Learn how to jump SMALL jumps succesfully before boosting 25 foot doubles. These folks dont have the basics down. AT ALL!! If your suspension bucks you off, your missing some skills. I feel for these wreckers cuz i know how they feel today. Pretty damn sore.

 Sooooo many of these could have been avoid had they simply limited themselves to one trail beer (while on their 3rd bike ride in 2 years) and avoided the "f**k it, I'm going to do it" mindset.
