That was gnarly for sure, I like the videos that make chuckle and are relatable to crashes I've had and have popped up from...that was not one of those type.
That's the main trail at Skyline Rotorua where they have Crankworx. You have to almost purposely fuck it up to get anywhere near that wall. It's kinda baffling actually.
Maybe he was attempting to clear it for shits and giggle but there's a huck to flat road behind that wall.....
....and god damn that looked like it hurt bad.
@FurryCrew: He is completely out of control leading up to it. I don't think there is any way he was doing that on purpose. Definitely looked like it hurt.
It really didn't look THAT bad. Winded and hurting but nothing broken. Don't be such a fanny. These videos provide a much needed tug of gravity for the average man and dog.
NP mate, That wall is there exactly for what he did, miss the previous corner and you can slam into the wall instead of going into the road and potentially getting run over by a random vehicle going by. I have no idea why he tried to "jump" over instead of just taking the hit.
EDIT: Actually after watching it in slowmo, he actually was going to miss the wall and JUST clipped it instead hence he went over the top.
@SickEdit: if you’re meaning the group guys who completely air over the drop away left hander & all end up in a heap on the grassy ski slope then I 100% agree. Fail of the decade (if not all time!)
Off topic here, but can anybody tell me what that expression in what sounds like Russian I always hear in crash videos that sounds like "yeah boy" means?
Maybe im becoming numb to this but there was only 2 that barely made me wince. The other theory is that pinkbike has gone soft over Christmas. If this is the case, sort it out pb!
I rely on this once a week to take the pain away !
This week was so pathetic it wasn’t even funny. First boys going “yeah send it”, oh well, obviously, you have never sent anything bigger than shoe box with UPS so guess what, shut aaaaawhp

1:30 was the first take on an Instructional tutorial on how to jump trump’s wall.
