no doubt. what happened to that guy, it's like he was shot by a rifle the way he went down. couldn't figure it out. vine grab his brake lever or something?
@jamesbrant: Looked like there was a little square edged ledge that you had to get the front up quickly for... but don't think he timed it well. Kinda also looked like his back wheel hit another little ledge at the same time which I think is what stopped his bike so abruptly and sent him down so hard and quick.
Cheers to the girlfriend laughing at the guy who wipes and rolls in the scree field. She's clearly seen him take a beating before. My wife would be freaking if I wrecked like that in front of her.
The conversation prior to this: Dude: I totally got this. GF: Are you sure? I don't think this is a good idea. Dude: Babe, I toootally got this. Just hold the camera. . .
Every single time I watch FridayFails, it triggers the exact same existential crisis where I'm questioning all of my life choices. Really, this is what I do? Flirt with disaster on my overpriced stupid bike out in the woods?
If nothing else, I'm honestly impressed with the amount of people getting out there and trying this stuff even if this time was a fail. Good for the people of Friday fails for committing and going for it!
Nasty as usual. (I am still wondering why I keep on looking a it, while I continuously try to convince me everything will go well when I am on my bike) Seth's bike hacks fail in latest video deserves to end here.
so much inexperience on jumps!! and what are ya doin sending your kids down jump trails when they don't even know which brake is the front or back. deadly!!
I watch these weekly. The question, or maybe just realization, is increasing clear.
Modern day MTB is just, dunno, riding down mellow hill at super slow speeds, barely turning, mostly skidding, and/or 'shredders' with zero clue on how to get a front wheel higher than the back.
@tobiusmaximum: a gaper (noun):- a novice or beginner to an extreme sport. Identified by the ‘gaping’ gap of their forehead exposed due to their poorly fitting safety helmet.
Apparently this was Faceplant Friday. That wreck by the river at 0:50 and the jump to faceplant at 1:33, amongst the other faceplants in the video compilation just looked aweful.
How is it that NO ONE pulls up on the jumps? Everyone goes OTB. I always thought it was human/2nd nature to pull up and absolutely no one grasps that. I’m completely flabbergasted.
I've never seen a Friday Fails without a Whistler Bike Park trail in it!!!
i'd take a dollar per crash which happens on WBP every summer season! i'd be freaking RICH
riders are somehow making mistakes..
Their friends laying their bikes right next to jumps waiting for you to be impaled in the handlebar is way worst imo...
1:20 mark? I thought that looked like the beginning of Lightning. More trails need features like that at the start with a sign that says "if you can't clear this feature, the rest of this trail is over your head".
@JohanG: I just moved to Huntsville and everyone keeps telling me it's amazing. To be fair I've been impressed with Monte Sano. I've never lived near this type of terrain. It's breaking my fat ass in.
Maybe it was cameraman's bicycle
Maybe cameraman pays cayden's medical bills
Maybe cameraman is some sort of guardian and told Cayden to not be reckless
Maybe Cayden does this all the time but promised this time it would be different
Just off the top of my head.
looks like the parking lot road gap at bootleg canyon. also, dude needs to dump his chick. she laughin at his ass like she hates him. oh nice we even get on board footy at the end! bonus!
Too bad these crashes arent fatal, these people are unfortunatly just going to have to go on being gapers.
The only deserving ones this week were the roadgaps.
Realize I am a terrible person.
But ya, I was confused at first...
Dude: I totally got this.
GF: Are you sure? I don't think this is a good idea.
Dude: Babe, I toootally got this. Just hold the camera. . .
Russian dashcams.

Y'all need to take up badminton
