 Run 1 clip, OK - but the last 4? .....Oh dear.

 Just add another sponsor spot for the last 20 seconds, win-win. We get all the crashes and the sponsor gets more screentime.

 @getsendywithit: Agreed. I meant to type 'ruin' not run and I was doing my best to see everything BUT the ad boxes on the screen.

 3:32 was that a fail or just an attempted suicide?

 He was aiming for that tiny transition and cased it hard. Probably technically doable move but seems like a super optimistic decision to go for it.

 @cougar797: "optimistic" is an understatement...seems as if a parachute would be the right course of action!
  • 1 0
 @santoman: Or other thought is he intended to land WAY further back then that and overshot the heck out of his intended target thus adding a lot of extra drop.
  • 3 0
 @cougar797: not too sure, looked like there was no slope had he landed further back...would have been a 30' huck to flat. Either way, that was huuuuuge. anyone know where this is?

 Looks like a place out back of Steyning West Sussex, UK. Never seen anyone try it but there are tire marks...

 @landscapeben: how many crosses at the bottom?

 @santoman: None, they all get removed by the evil trail pixies... come to think of it they probably also put the tire marks at the bottom there to act as a lure!

 This has to be the best FF for a long time. Its that balance between absolutely brutal wipeouts that make you wince, crashes where you go wtf how did that happen and some that just have you in stitches laughing they are so ridiculous. Winner
  • 2 0
 Totally agree. I went from cringing to laughing more than any other FF I can remember.

 2:15 The most style while crashing I've ever seen. I give him a solid 10 for style points.

 I give him a -100000 points for the E-bike

Yes, there should be a separate Fails category for mechanical dopers or at least a filter.

 This week, brought to you by people who ask their friends “Are you ok?” while they’re still bouncing off the ground.
  • 3 0
 ...I think a standard needs to be in place....good 5 count before asking
  • 8 0
 I am still trying to figure out how not sticking a 360 or bouncing off after landing a 40 foot drop is anything but a win. 99% of us will never even try.

 Pinkbike needs to post a clinic on how to not dump your front wheel off a lip - seems to be about 50% of submissions.

 Noooooo then we wouldn't have any more Friday fail submissions.

 Does anyone understand the scientific concept of why you turn the camera to the ground immediately upon seeing a crash happen? Your buddy does not need you for the next 2 seconds and your sole job is to get good footage of whatever is about to happen.
  • 2 0
 man, i gotta give it to those riders that have more balls than skills. still sitting down on the face of jumps? you are the reason i stopped coaching kids to mountain bike. can't be responsible for the ones who, immediately after the "safety according to your skill level" talk, make it a career goal to end up here on fridays. but again... props for the courage and freeing up more time for me to ride.

 My brain cannot comprehend 2:58. I need someone to explain it to me like I am in first grade because I don't want that to happen to me. It looks like the front wheel goes backward at one point.

 He had floppy dick legs and didn't press into the lip, and his ass dropped back and hit the rear tire right as the rear tire was going up the lip. His ass stopped the tire dead and flung him OTB.

 @jdkellogg: did you see that in one take or go frame-by-frame? Bravo
  • 1 0
 @jdkellogg: Thank you. I have seen videos like that before where the bike turns into a trebuchet and it is stopping the rear wheel that is the culprit. But it looks weird because you think it will be ok because he has his weight back and his front wheel is up.

Needs to commit to the front flip.

 Classic ass the pad makes the tire the disc brake.
  • 1 0
 @vapidoscar: Nose dives are mainly caused by being to far back on the bike and unevenly compressing your suspension so the rear kicks harder

 @ceecee: If you have enough experience riding jumps you can see instantly what is going on when someone has no idea what they are doing hitting jumps they have no business going near.

 Opening clip...riding buddies, standing absolutely motionless as their friend piledrives himself headfirst into the ground...then in the most monotone voice possible, "ou al'right?"

...no, he's probably not! You should probably go check on him. ...."oh, but that's Frank, he's ah-ways do'n that."

 3:32, holy crap was that a send attempt. Not sure any bike has enough suspension to soak up that drop.
  • 1 0
 Did he think he was actually going to make that?

 @mybaben: You gotta wonder. He's either a glutton for punishment or he was just being really dumb and thought he would land it.

 What's with the pal at 1:41 hiding behind the tree? He looks like he's hurt, did he have a fail right before his buddy subsequently had his own fail?
