 have to assume the video/phone was not found and posted in some Blair Witch style fashion (lost footage from a phone found in the woods) ...so he lived...though, damn

 I am genuinely curious about the well being of the 2:05 rider.

 2:00-2:05 is one of the hardest hits I've seen here. Hope that guy was able to ride again.

 Yeah, agreed. Hard to watch that one. Hope he's ok...

 Scary - Looks like lights out anyway.

 I had a similar crash a number of years ago, concrete instead of a tree. I got a major concussion and 25 stitches in my head. I was wobbly for four months........

 The first kid on snow was not a fail. That was some proper committment.

 0:46 - Impressive distance on that slide. Also sure he's glad he's buddy's brake work well.

 smack on the ground immediately before the slide was rough

 Any update from the poor fellow who hit the tree @ 2:04 - that was unfortunate and tough. I'll assume concussed and hope he heals OK.

 I like everyone else would love to find out how the rider faired who hit the tree. There is usually at least one clip every week where I’m left wondering how the rider faired.
To the rider in the clip hope your ok.

 I’d rather just assume no life-altering injury. Knowing my concern doesn’t help anyone that crashes online, learning injury details won’t help the rider. So it’s either pointless “hopes and prayers” or satisfying morbid curiosity. I choose blissful ignorance. For all we know the guy has an extremely efficient personality type so taking a nap while down just makes sense.

 2:05 Press Enter to Respawn... hope dude's fine.

 Backflip attempt landed on two feet? Task failed successfully.

 3:13! I saw the steep rock face at the start, knowing it was FF and braced for bad things. By the end I had a big smile. Great clip and definitely not a fail in my book.
Lots of high speed low altitude carnage this week, hopefully everyone is recovered by now...

 Had to hit pause at 2:04 and check the comments. That was a hard hit!!

 The front flat smash noise! immediate deflation.

 *Crash still happening: "YOU ALRIGHT?".

 It's more considerate to ask BEFORE the crash, but this is fine too.

 @ultimatist: I’ve started yelling it before they’re off or on the feature just in case anyone is recording. Like you said, just being considerate of how others are doing mid activity!

 Time to invest in magnetic pedals like the dude at 3:14 must have. Automatically returns your bike to you every time!

 Steep as a bastard for sure.

 Bike at 1:08 looks like a 2014 Trek Fuel Ex 29er with its infamous 69.5 degree head angle, short wheelbase and no dropper post. What could possibly go wrong?

 1:00 that was in Friday fails #2, i was going back through them waiting for todays to be uploaded ‍♂️

 If noobs don’t go straight to the classifieds to sell their new bikes after watching 1:42 and 2:03, they’re our kinda crazy.
3:13, uhhh…staged?

 Atleast there's already a medic on site at 1:37

 1:20 clip - knowing you are going to crash and then knowing how to minimize it - well done!

 Unfortunately it ended in a hospital.

 This week looked especially painful...and it seems plenty of front hubs seizing and throwing the riders OTB.

 Berate my skills what you will, but this week's fails make me happy I'm clipped in when doing the minuscule air time that I do. OK, start the schooling...

 adding to the "is the guy at 2:04 alive"? Damn that looked brutal.
Can we get an update?

 The one at 40 seconds got what he deserved.

 Tough week to watch if you want to keep riding.
