 #86 - metal gate to the face - truly awful.

 That scream is not because of metal gate hit, it’s because her hands are caught in the barbed wire of the fence.
Most frightening biker fall scene ever seen (

 You couldn't have found another 8 to add in there to make it 1 for each day of the year? Wasted opportunity, 1/10, would not recommend.

 Watching these videos, I am moving ever closer to buying a full face helmet. I don't ride a lot of gnarly stuff but I sometimes feel tempted to try stuff that I maybe shouldn't ride at my skill level. I need my teeth.

 *mouthguard I’ve had a full face helmet on and still smashed my teeth...

 how else you progress if you do not try stuff you prob shouldn't? That being said, yeah get a lightweight full face. Or full DH if speed involved

 At first you think everyone on here is a total bumbler as crashing isn't the most flattering activity, and then you see your local features and how small they look on camera, and you realize most of these people are actually pretty darn good.

 Genuinely wonder how many of these people never ride again

 I made it half way through the 30 minutes and can't watch anymore. Too many MTB fails. Too many of these just make the rider look bad... riding way out of their skill zone.

 What’s the Over/Under in $USD for the total of hospital bill (not adjusted for insurance), bandages, and bike parts, in this compilation?

 You should do a new one called 'Wobbly Wednesdays,' if you're not going to at least address "it", LEAN all the way into it!
