A new form of encouragement to those destined to fail.

 Most people on film here don’t have friends, just persons to join them who film them as long as possible failing.

 friendship is, when somebody compliments your swimming after you capsized your sailboat.

 @pinkknip: I think the videographers who are out to record fails footage need to keep their camera steady until the failure is complete and the moviestar has come to a dead stop. Too often they point the camera at the dirt to give the viewer an impression of what the moviestar is looking at at the moment. But I feel it doesn't quite work out and I personally prefer the third person view.

 The guy looking back to find the slippy spot that stoped him railing the wall ride at walking speed.

 If only someone had been filming the guy filming himself filming a guy....can't decide is that was genius or annoying as hell.
  • 2 0
 at least he didn't drop the camera as soon as the person started crashing. He was dedicated to the end.

 Let's be honest, they both knew what the results were going to be.

 There's two general theme to Friday Fails:

1. Bad things happening to good people
2. People getting what the deserve

You get to categorize them.
  • 3 0
 "You get what you heckin deserve!!" pew pew
  • 1 0
 And that guys in full face and no knee pads crash the hardest.....
  • 16 0
 Whatever happened to learing how to drop of a curb first?
  • 4 1
 clearly a case of riders in over their head,,,,,,, Pa dum Tssss!
  • 2 0
 It seems that you have to try to get your front to drop that fast. I watcth that and think with any common sense you'll keep a little speed and ride right off it balanced and then nose in to the landing. Try a curb or something else first.
  • 2 0
 No insta likes for curb drops bro
  • 13 0
 That poor bastard at 2:47 smackin slick rock in the creek! Nice one slick!
  • 14 0
 Fell off a cliff guy, see ya
  • 6 0
 Legend has it he is still falling.
  • 9 0
 cameraman looking at epic mountain/lake landscape while his friend falls to his death down the mountain is my pick for this friday fails winner
  • 2 0
 Not a helmet mounted camera maybe?
  • 10 0
 @ak-77: they tend to follow head movement of the guy wearing the helmet, and as general courtesy rule, your head should turn towards the guy who is falling to his death down the mountain

 I'd like to see a special Friday Fails composed entirely of the YouTube experts. Bobo, Seth, Mo and Hanna, Heather Munive, Trail Boss, Steady Spin... This would be awesome because they record in higher quality.

 I love watching Heather Munive biking vids. She's not the best rider out there, but her sheer joy while riding makes me want to go out and ride my bike.

 @Caiokv: It was qualified with "YouTube".

 @Caiokv: to be fair, Trail Boss is pro rider Jeff Lenosky... the rest though are a different story.
  • 7 0
 Trying hard to reserve judgement, but....

Encourage new riders to practice smaller drops first, to build confidence. See example at :36

 Some of these guy's friends should have told them to pull up when going off a jump. Looks like there could have been a number of spinal injuries in this week's videos clips. Some nasty ones.
  • 2 0
 People so physically uncoordinated they can't catch a ball or be competitive in team sports, so they decide to go mountain biking.

 Been there, done that... bike was dangling from my foot, they said just let the bike go & climb up. Took 6 riders to make the human chain to save me (didn't want to let the bike go, so it was more of a huge bike save). Good thing I was near the front of the pack so as more showed up the easier it got. The Klein wasn't eventually harmed!!! whew!
