 What do Friday Fails and failed marriages have in common? 90% are caused by lack of commitment Smile

 I had to rehwatch that one to make sure his neck didn't snap. Thankfully it 'only' looks like an obliterated collarbone Eek

 @krka73 Yeah wasn't great but I think I got lucky. Pretty bad concussion and a sore shoulder. Oh and snapped brake lever, but other than that all good. Smile

 @Jackjackson: Thank god bud! that looked nasty, glad that bill was not as bad as it could have been.

 @mi-bike: It's hard to tell if it was a rock or tree initially. Stupid Google makes things hard to see especially when there's no slow-mo control and the play/pause is on the far left side of the screen. But you're right it's a tree that he hit. Still hurts like a MOFO!

 Man, this was "sketchy ramp setup" week.

 This week featured a greater than usual proportion of actually skilled riders rolling the dice and losing, as opposed to total newbs getting bucked over the bars. I found it enjoyable.

 The hop at 1:30 would have been pretty freaking cool had it worked out

 Agreed-love watching Gumbys dead sailor to their doom, but also love rad riders just getting a little too rad.

 You guys really need to start doing compilations of Friday Fails, Saturday Sends and Sunday Saves. Would make for interesting viewing not knowing how a clip was going to pan out.

Ideally with fresh clips, but perhaps a Christmas/New Year mashup of the clips from the last 12 months.

 this is a good idea!

 That bonehead move at 2:43.... Worst part is that I fractured my wrist falling over the edge..

 It's it amazing when the cameraperson zooms in on the crashed rider at the end of the clip. In the event you find yourself filming a crash, stay calm, follow the action, and zoom like a Steven Spielberg movie when they come to a stop.
  • 1 0
 Exactly!!! Well done.
  • 17 9
 E bike crashes are sooo satisfying
  • 9 3
 It’s the future. Gumby’s without the fitness or skill to get into big terrain and features will do so.

Please keep filming each other Broped riders!!!

 Dunning Kruger (look it up) in full effect - always shocks me seeing the number of riders riding above their pay grade, hitting stuff that takes most folks a handful of years to work up too.

 Someone who is exceptionally talented at documenting fails, that's who. Deserves a "cold as ice" videography award.

It was a hard hit
  • 6 0
 @ShawMac: Agreed. That was a master class at fail documentation. You're not doing anything helpful by asking "You good?" or dropping the camera to get there before the dust even settles. The damage is done, might was well keep recording for a sec.

 Real lack of committment this week by many of the riders. But redeption arrived in the committment shown by their filming friends. We all know that as a filmer you have a DUTY to your PB community to carefully zoom on your buddy's carcass before ruining the shot by running to help them out.

 Calm, collected and committed. Not the rider, the cameraman.

 FINALLY!!!!! A GREAT CAMERAMAN!! At 0:42 he keeps the camera ON the rider, and then he even zooms in on the body! BRILLIANT!!

 Fortunately not. Heavy concussion and a sore shoulder only Smile

 2:55 I'm think "WOAH, what's that guy doing (going so slow)" He got off easy on the crash

 Should turn it into a game where you guess whether audio samples are Friday Fails or orgasms.

 Good mix of clueless newbs and legit crashes; If you were featured this week, which one are YOU?

 Dude at 2:00 at least broke his collarbone, hopefully nothing worse... that was brutal.
  • 5 0
 Nah I didn't break anything fortunately. Concussion and a sore shoulder only Smile

 @Jackjackson: Good to hear man, that looked brutal... stuffed your shoulder into that tree with all your momentum behind it, I thought for sure that was a hospital trip crash.

 @Jackjackson: I think I might ultimately opt for a broken bone over a concussion, but that's just me.

 @MartinKS: exactly, you gotta pump the backside of the homies rib cage so you don't case the next feature. They won't be mad as long as you land it clean.
