 If you even have the balls to attempt a back flip, 360, or road gap and you don’t make it, I just chalk that up to practice. Kudos to them. The rest of the fails, however look like me on any given weekend.

 Even whatever happened with that wallride?

 Can we just edit out the words " Are you alright/OK?" from every video?
I don't want to think about "No!" I like to think they're all just wee little bobbles & everyone's good to go.

When I hear that question, I cringe thinking this will be the week the person says "Oh...oh, dear Lord NO!!" & it's not edited out...

 @blowmyfuse: I honestly watch more for the sounds that the visuals.

 I thought so too. Either a repeat video or a repeat of the mistake with that wallride.

 Yeah, the 1:35 road gap is a repeat also. Wife/gf chuckling as he ran it out

 @VtVolk: hahaha that was good

 Here to say the same thing. Can't forget that gap followed by laughing girlfriend. Unless it's a normal thing for them.

 I just watched a bunch of these with my kid…I think maybe from Friday Fails #100 a couple of years ago or something. That wall ride is definitely not new

 Some people are much more brave than they should

 I can't believe how many of these clips are of riders who have clearly never tried to jump before who one day decide to hit a wooden feature on a black line.

 @mudandgearspdx: I sort of admire their bravery. “Just send it bro.”

 Omg, that crash on the moon booster on Aline at 3:50 is my absolute nightmare. Especially at the speed you hit that at, hope the guy is ok
  • 1 0
 @cyclebean My buddy did the same thing (over the bars) on the big jump on Crab Apple few years back. I swear I thought he broke his neck. Came out with only a few bruises and a broken foot.
  • 1 0
 that guy was going about 3x slower than you should. I have no idea how that little speed & air could lead to such a huge buck on what is a pretty mellow (but big) jump.

 more cases today than a lawyer could handle in a month

 Some of them being worst case scenarios.

 1:49 - the real fail is the choice of pants.
  • 1 0
 Yeah for sure. I'm perplexed by dude's entire fit. Is he wearing boots as well or are his pants tucked into his socks or what?
  • 2 0
 @shami: yes
  • 9 0
 Was the guy just after 1.00 in his underpants ??

 I think they were tight jorts.

 1:44 Man damages trail to look cool. Trail gets even.

 XC riders: I see you, I love you, and I'm sometimes one of you, but please: don't "just send it," watch a video or attend a clinic before trying to clear a gap with you 100mm race bike.

 probably should also get out of your easiest gear before crankin' into your first feature too!

 I see a triple theme this week 1 POV of failed or accidental flips 2 Back wheels cased to oblivion 3 Filmers who can't help laughing I kind of like this combination

 It's very hard to say you are OK if you are still trying to extract your face from the trail...just saying...

 3:11, what was the game plan? No brakes?

Lots of cases...so many cases.

 2 OY's! for the price of 1.

 Actually, I think they all took the wrong line. We do get several answers to the " Are you alright?" question.

 Someone needs to show the guy at 0:57 what you can do on a hardtail. Just not the guy at 0:59.
  • 2 0
 He said "Send it baby!" And thus ended their relationship...

 2:11 was mighty close to being a much worse crash. And another supportive friend at 3:34 - lol

 @3:00 might as well just run the rest of the way down the hill and catch the lift back up to his bike.

 Another block of middle aged men thinking they know how to mountain bike because they rode a BMX around in high school.

 is it just me or 95% of PB front page is marketing BS
  • 3 0
 Mountain biking is a sponsor driven sport. Riders get paid by advertising products which makes almost all mountain bike content "marketing BS".
  • 1 1
 @sino428: yeah, but last few weeks PB front page feels like focking AD Blocker stopped working
  • 1 0
 @valrock: probably just the time of year. Not much actually happening in the mountain bike world to do or cover.

 Pretty sure this how they pay for all the cool giveaways: www.pinkbike.com/news/tags/win-it-wednesday
