That crash is like something I would have nightmares about... Like that is a legit phobia of mine, that very scenario. I need a therapist after seeing it happen.
All of the crashes this time felt like a warning video for Narcalepsy. Almost all of their heads tilted, the bikes leaned over and they laid down for naps.
@MasterSlater: It is Bandages and Glory at the You Yangs in Victoria like @Captain65 said. It's honestly hard to imagine how the rider in that video went for that crack. You can clearly see where you want to go as you approach haha.
My favourite part of all these is how the buddy filming always manages to get the whole crash and aftermath. No one ever sets the camera down to make sure they are ok, got to make sure you don't cut the video early. That is what true friends do.
Go big! Hahaha love it some of these were solid gold...people biting off more than they can chew for sure! If you're not falling your not hauling! I laugh but theres some respect in there too...respectful laughing hahahaha
Rag doll fall @40s... Ouch! 1:08 Think I am getting too close to Larry??? Ouch! 1:40 Think I can stick my wheel in the crack? Ouch! 2:35 Target fixation.... Ouch! (could feel that one in my office chair.. Sympathy pain...)
As soon as I saw a fat man in blue jersey with Polish flag on his arm signaling his readiness to spill blood and give his life for the motherland, I knew I will hear either “o kurwa” or “ja pierdole”
Nothing says "I really know what I'm doing here!" like sitting down on a fully compressed dropper, while going downhill, with a full face and armor on.
I’ve only had the “I’m about to ****ing die” moment once jumping out of an airplane years ago when I had a chute malfunction, but I’d imagine that split second of not knowing if you’re going to clear the train gap is about the same feeling.
I think my favourite types of crashes to watch are those ones that are super slow speed but you can't correct once you hit a certain point, like that last one
Those that can't gauge their speed, go way to fast, and have zero bike control Those that forget they have cranks (and prolly 12 speeds) and can't figure-out how to make the bike go faster.
A few weeks back, PB lamed up and taught mtb-douches how to bunnyhop (um, yeah)... maybe it's time to start with the basics - um, like, steering, pedaling, bending the knees. Any amount of time spent around more than 10 carbon mtb-freds will tell you these vids are the norm.
Looks like Bandages at the You Yang’s in Victoria AU
How's that poor guy at 1:43, crashes hard because he TOOK HIS FOOT OFF THE PEDAL, and his buddies just keep recording.
[ ] nosedive because: [ ] shock rebound [ ] body position [ ] can't bunnyhop [ ] breaking [ ] too slow
[ ] coming short on jump
[ ] overshooting jump
[ ] landing on side
[ ] bar/bike hits tree
[ ] front wheel washout because [ ] understeering [ ] tyre pressure [ ] tyre [ ] noodle arms
[ ] general ineptitude

Ja pierdole
Some basic polish words for you to learn

At 0:50, well...that's what paralysis is made of. Yard dart to flat, ooch.
