 We'll call the opening clip 'natural selection'.

 Just a slight miscalculation is all

 what's funny is more than one person looked at that ramp setup up and thought "yeah, this will work."

 This reminds me of a joke...two men walked into a bar and the third one ducked. LOL

 Holy hell, was that the alternate director's cut for the Napoleon Dynamite 'Sledgehammer' scene? Ever take it off any sweet.... right in the face?

 Wow, I thought the guy only had a whiplash on that table but CRIPES, he actually faceplanted on that top side of the roof! What was he thinking? LOL And why wasn't there a zero for the choosing?

 @JonnyTheWeasel : Darwin Award and PBFF Best Fail All Time!
  • 4 0
 He wasn't even close to clearing the roof. It didn't just skim his helmet, he was at least a foot (sorry, 30.48 cm, I know imperial units are triggering for some...) too high.

 Dear PB, can you please make the intro clip #1? Otherwise, how do we vote for it like today?
  • 5 0
 @SATN-XC: Actually only one person, saw that and thought "yeah, that'll work" the other saw, and said absolutely nothing. And yeah, im the first one....

 @shunji180: The intro clip is obviously #0.

 I love the exasperated parent sigh in 5 after no doubt telling the kid not to do it.
  • 6 1
 A familiar sound
  • 5 0
 Parent must have approved, because he was recording it.
  • 6 0
 lol, that was 100% the sound
  • 9 0
 Sounded more like a “how do I explain this to the wife” sigh.
  • 3 0
 Sound of failure and disappointment
  • 2 0
 @k-n-i-x-o-n: I see how it is
  • 6 0
 Lol that's the sigh I make when I think "great now I have to deal my child's overreaction to falling."
  • 6 0
 @CSharp: that’s my favorite Depeche Mode b-sides compilation
  • 2 0
 @boopiejones: I think more like, "I just spent two grand getting my kid set up for mountain biking and now he's never going to do it again. . . how do I explain that to my wife"

 #17 railing the snow…until he wasn’t. Still great riding considering the conditions.
  • 25 0
 ...though have to wonder about the no glove choice
  • 14 0
 Yeah, he was killing it. Looked so fun. I thought he would go down way earlier than he did.
  • 9 0
 I just kept wondering which tree he was going to impale himself on. I wouldn't have made it past the first, so congrats to the rider.
  • 4 0
 Definitely great riding in those conditions.
  • 7 0
 Gave me anxiety the whole time. Every turn I thought was going to be a digger
  • 5 0
 And no gloves- just bare hands holding onto his dear life in the Great White North!
  • 3 0
 @Ebab: Absolutely! That was a real rollercoaster to watch, each tree and rut that came aong I was holding my breath awaiting the inevitable, then when it came it wasn't so bad.

 That first head smasher might be my all time favourite crash.
  • 19 0
 I'll second this. It truly epitomized a Friday fail. In both design and execution that stunt was resounding failure.
  • 11 0
 @jaytdubs: Some people talk about 'the spirit of gravel.'

That there was 'the spirit of FF'
  • 5 0
 He seemed so disappointed lying there. Partly crushed by the beam, partly crushed by disappointment.
  • 39 0
 #0 is a hall-of-famer and we can’t even vote for it…
  • 2 0
 Either of the Frosty the Snowman should have been the opener and then #0 and #1 head to head for the vote. Still think #1 is the worst.
  • 2 0
 The lack of being able to vote for it turns the perfect fail into a fail.
  • 25 0
 PB need to add a vote button for the opening clip - that kid totally ate the beam supporting the roof. Brutal.
  • 19 1
 For everyone wondering what was going through my head on number 1, well.... the roof beam was.

Follow me on youtube for more stupid fail clips and ect www.youtube.com/@sethgale5458.

 I like to predict how the crash happens. The opener was a no brainer. As in...absolutely no brain.
  • 1 0
 You can’t lose any brain cells if you don’t have any to begin with
  • 5 0
 @ro-bert: Its true.... I never did have brain cells...
  • 3 0
 @sethgale: That was you??? Buddy, take a physics course. . . Wink

Hope your head and pride have healed.

 @rrolly: My head has healed, but i think my pride might be broke forever hahaha

 First time I’ve only needed to watch the first clip to cast my vote.
  • 10 0
 Except there’s no option to vote for the first clip
  • 13 0
 @BagelMan: That too, is a FAIL
  • 9 0
 A cat on the jump? Typical.
  • 1 0
 I knew instantly he'd blame the cat for his fail. Then he turns his head ;-)
  • 7 0
 Dude got the clothes line in #1....THAT is a good start for the Friday Fails. I bet his nose is still broken. lol
  • 14 1
 Nope, its not, in fact i have no injuries whatsoever, no concussion, all my teeth still there, and no broken back.

 @sethgale: Damn,are you a vertebrate?

 @sethgale: Nice. Hard as steel man!

 @bman33: hahaha thanks thankfully my helmet did a great job, but I have to buy a new one now and I'm broke

 @sethgale: Lucky, but remember, next time you may run out of luck.

 @Mtmw: Dang that crash was insane, and he must have been super hurt, that sucks, especially that his crash wasn't from his own stupidity, like mine was.
  • 8 0
 #16 - dude lost his shoe! Hilarious!
  • 3 0
 Instantly thought of the Jerky Boys...He was probably first hurt with words...
  • 6 0
 Yea that one hurt. my wrist is still tweaked and i cant extend my elbow XD
  • 1 0
 @ReformedRoadie: very very hurt
  • 8 0
 Like wow, these are the leaders of tomorrow...omfg
  • 27 1
 Look at the leaders of today. omfg.

 #1 is head-and-shoulders above the rest. I'll be here all week.
  • 5 0
 Many thought "Trail Dogs" were annoying, now we see Trail Cats are no improvement. I loved the long look into the woods in the direction of the culprit.
  • 2 0
 Oh man, I would love to go riding with a proper trail cat. Like one of those big Savannah cats, or a domesticated mountain lion. Could you imagine the reactions from other riders?
  • 5 0
 pinkbike poll how many times did you watch fail no. 1. 1. you are a saint 2. yea right 3. ok 4. thats about right 5. you're going to hell with me.
  • 6 0
 Can't even vote for the worst fail in this vid...
  • 2 0
 Opening clip is O.O - unfortunate the fellow filming didn't consider the potential danger of that one.

#1 is concussion, and had my vote. Even when I was young I didn't attempt to chuck myself off of rock faces with zero prep. Jesus
  • 7 1
 The fellow filming did consider it, and did know exactly what would happen. But like a silly sibling, said nothing.. But luckily it was fine and i didnt have a concussion so i didn't get super mad at him.
  • 3 0
 @njcbps: I would've voted for both 0 and 1 - both are brutal, painful, and funny at the same time! Wow, I can't believe FF this week came out with a bang that hard!
  • 3 0
 @sethgale: OK - thanks for the background info and good to hear no concussion. I would have gotten checked out even if no symptoms.
  • 1 0
 @sethgale: Are you sure you aren't still concussed? If you're in the opening clip, you aren't in #1.
  • 1 0
 @mamrd: yeah i know haha
  • 5 0
 I really wonder how bad the actual #1 was hurt though...Landing on your head/shoulder/neck on rock like that...oof.
  • 4 0
 Number 1 I don’t know who you are but I know you are the number 1
  • 5 0
 thanks
  • 3 0
 5 for the disappointed breath after the crash.
  • 1 0
 I don't even need to see the rest of the crashes, #1 was a double whammy of the lack of intelligence and the abundance of skill. 10 /10
  • 3 0
 Im offended on the skills comment.. lol, good point on the lack of intelligence though.
  • 1 0
 In his defense, number 4 was trying to avoid the mud at the bottom. Of course it is better to crash in the grass than get the bike dirty...
  • 2 0
 #2 Congrats on winning the Rear Wheel Rock Boost contest. Hope you're good kid.
  • 2 0
 Mannnnnn that little guy on the red rock near the beginning….that was harsh to see
  • 1 0
 #7 I was telling myself if you have to pedal that much to clear a jump, the trail is really badly build. The trail is actually perfect ...
  • 2 0
 The opening video was pretty rough. but what did you expect?
  • 2 0
 #7 is that the new GoPro Dick Pound signature edition?
  • 1 0
 Can the owner of #4 confirm that's the bottom of Waterfall at Bolton Valley VT? Such a rowdy trail.
  • 2 0
 Really started out with a couple of bangers…Eesh
  • 2 0
 The sigh in #5 makes it so much better
  • 2 0
 The 17 seems to be very fast on snow... Vinny T?
  • 1 0
 Forrest seems Finnish to me, so I'd guess it isn't.
  • 3 0
 The Comparison to Vinny T is perhaps the biggest compliment I've got but that is just me riding my favourite local winter trail.
  • 2 0
 #1, wtf.....
  • 1 0
 #15 - not spectacular but I've been there enough to feel the frustration
  • 2 0
 hehe I recorded #2
  • 2 0
 0 was the worst one.
  • 1 0
 #1 wins by a landslide lmao
  • 1 0
 A vote for #1 is a vote for #0. Win win cause they are both the worst.
  • 1 0
 #3 And they say that black cat is bad luck... what a twist.
  • 1 0
 My favorite clip was the ads thrown in...
  • 1 0
 What’s up with the add in the middle of FF.
  • 1 0
 The second kid is probably dead. So he got my vote.
  • 1 0
 #14, what bike is that?
  • 2 0
 Looks like a chromag
  • 1 0
 @Benfurby: 15 is a chromag for sure. But 14 - no idea!
  • 1 0
 @Benfurby: It's a Scor
  • 1 1
 I didn't need to look past #1 to decide on my answer.
  • 1 1
 #4 fat dude shock sound
