The theme this week is "amateur hour". Typically we get some clueless noobs in way over their heads mixed with some talented riders going huge, but 95%+ this week were people getting bucked on pretty modest jumps, or just plain failing to understand how gravity works.
Yeah, some of these people were not eve close to having the skill it takes to do what they were trying to. Sensible progressions, not just failing, is what makes a rider improve.
These people without gloves simply amaze me!!
My memory is of my motorbike course teacher asking the class if they enjoyed the thought of other people wiping their own arses after a turd. When no one in the class said they wanted that. He suggested wearing gloves when riding so there was not a risk of them needing to ask others for that sort of help.
I crashed about 3 years ago on a night ride. Cheap headlight so peripheral vision was impared. I smashed my right shoulder into a tree on a right hand corner, got thrown off backwards into a second tree then to the (soaked, muddy) ground. In the dark on my own. Good times.

@mi-bike: Sry, but it's a hometrail, nothing official, just a nice little spot. So you wanna come from America to visit us and ride trails that have one minute length? ✌
first clip... weakest person typically goes last. 3rd guy goes over handlbars. Last guy does a sweet little dismount. You know the last guy was happy he didn't have to go over the jump.
Generally don't like the POV clips but at least the first two at 0:33 and 3:01 were following another rider, providing fail uncertainty. 3:25 you know exactly who's going down, just waiting for it.

That was a pain in the ass to type out, but I hope it helps yall fix the issue.
And I hope the poor fellow @ 3:26 is unhurt, but that evoked a spontaneous LOL
Here's some more of it
So good, in fact, that they don't even play!
