 To be fair they said that they would “steal” it.

 The first one really set the tone, and that tone is one of possible paralysis. All scary reminders to be smart and focused.

 and also have a medalert bracelet with your blood type on it if you're going to ride this many levels above your pay grade

 @conoat: the maddest thing is, that trail appears totally innocuous, such that you wonder what can even go wrong

 I'd also recommend that guy study a little physics, namely the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy, and also ballistics. So if you roll down a slope that is three times as high as the lump you are going over, you are either really going to have to drag the brakes or prepare to be launched further than you intended.

 @iamamodel: I'm pretty sure Danny Hart hasn't studied physics, and neither have you.
You either have a 'feel' for these things or you don't, like you either see how cringey a comment is before you post it or you don't...

 @deadmeat25: Half the stuff I write is cringey. I know it. That's why I'm here: shits and giggles. Think fast, type quickly, hit 'Submit', move on. Sometimes I amuse others, sometimes I don't.

A stranger once pointed out with disdain, and commented, that I was wearing Crocs with socks. I thought for a moment and responded "It must be horrible going through life caring what other people think of you."

 Bike number 167 seemed to roll much better once it ditched its rider...

 It would have been cool if he got up, ran along side of it, than jumped on and continued on his way.

 Does he have to on it when it crosses the finish line?

 0.41 - so now we're persuading people who've never ridden before to ride so we can film them fail AND we're making them wear identifying T shirts ?

 If my last name was Volunteer, I'd change it.

 Hahaha, you weren't kidding when you said in the comments on the April Fools video that you were totally stealing "Sunday Slams"

 2:08 - Doesn't make sense how that guy rolled off the box so slowly. One would think that someone willing to do trials in the dark on a snowy night would at least have the commitment to roll off the obstacle at something more than "Mach Turtle."

 That wheel at 3:08 don’t look so good.

 Make that x2. That crash took out 2 rims - the rider in front and the rider behind @bikesek filming, what a day! Big Grin

 Is this why FF's was so FFS on Friday?
  • 2 5
 It's not that. I just don't need negative riding in my headspace. Additionally I just don't like seeing people hit their head.
