Video: Friday Fails #271

 This makes me pretty stoked to have aged into a mellow XC toodler-about, who can no longer afford to break his body. You can keep your "sends" and "braps" and whippersnapper exploits. I think 3/4 of these fails would have killed or paralyzed me.

 Might just be me, but after every couple episodes of watching FF, I go out and turn down my rebound. Went out today and it was all the way down. Now have to start over!!

 With heavy thump, a lifeless lump, They dropped down one by one.

 Pretty sure that a fair number of those fails wouldn't have been fails if they were recorded in landscape.

 That desert plant waited 100 years to get enough water to finally bloom and Jerry took it out.

 So many good examples of why you should put a fullface helmet on when you go above your abilities.

 The guy who was doing the flipping/tailwhip trick showed some pretty masterful crashing skills. Homeboy didn't appear to be wearing any safety gear and still looked non the worse for wear as he popped to his feet.
Of course that could have just been the adrenaline talking...

 The most painful friday fail this week was my Property law final...

 2:55....I see we are still letting our Ibis to the job.....

 2:33 looks like major back injury.

 An inspirational medley of crashes as usual to remind us how now to ride.

A couple of technical suggestions to the PinkBike Devs and editors;
1) Please stop with the video autoplay, or give us an option to set it to manual control. Not so much of an issue with FF, but in other articles it drains bandwidth if we just want to read what's under the vid
2) Vertical aspect ratio entries should be compended into the YT Shorts format. I'd wager most pb users are phone forward and vertical aspect makes the content about 1-1.5" wide. Even on good phones that's not enough pixels to make it a decent viewing experience.

 How many of those nose dives could have been avoided be riding the grim doughnut?

 Face slam edition. Ouch

 "Excuse me"
Most polite introduction to a fail.

 and that kids, is why you always wear a full face

 Very bold to wear a tank top among the yucca and cactus

 0:47 is part of the Squamish Enduro course, will be interesting to see people hitting it at race speed!

 "This week's biggest fail: forgetting to publish Friday Fails until 2pm. "

Dead to me

 The first loading ad bit was the biggest Fail

 So glad I did not watch this prior to today's ride, I hit everything I could get to drops, jumps, rolls, etc. The DJ not great for climbing but so fun on the trail..

 Bike @ 20 seconds flies an awful long way.

 0:35 was a quality tuck and roll by the young-un. 2:00 was a bonus 2 for 1.

 Finally some one answers the are you good question. Okay im good.

 Honestly! I'm a band director, and my students usually request to watch the Fails at the end of class. WE ALMOST DIED.

 These are some brutal hits this week. many vibes to the smashed and concused.

 So much camera time went by on that last one, it was like an entire story...

 0:54 had some impressive hang time

 Let’s see e-bike fails!

 Pretty tame this week, I count only 2 trips to the hospital.

 Ty kraaavo.

2:12 - WT??

 1:44 is a good reminder to clean/bleed/inspect my brakes hahah

 Dude @ 1:03 = 1, Tour de France peloton = 0

 Omg that first one has got to hurt and same with falling off that cliff

 This one made me say OMG ! FU_k! out loud like 5 times.

 Hope that kid at 2:30 wasn’t seriously broken.

 00:48 .... Painness to watch

 I swear some of those body slams made my tablet move.

 Dobře!
