I am sure I am not the only one who has noticed that a whole lot of these fails would be avoided if the rider did not smash the front brake. Is it instinct or something?

@kailmarks4968

6 ай бұрын

I don’t know, in many cases the reason they’re out of control is they aren’t using the front brake at all, and the terrain is too steep for rear-only - thus they can’t control their speed. That, and simply riding like a wet noodle.🤣

I’m fairly new to serious mountain biking after decades of riding/racing off-road motorcycles. Videos like this pretty much match what I’m seeing at Sandy Ridge, Oregon wherein large numbers of bike riders are attempting jumps for which their skills aren’t even remotely good enough. I used to think the motorcycle ranks were full of idiots but the mountain bikers are much worse. That said, keep it up!! 😊

It’s the advent of 29 inch wheels. They give lesser riders a false sense of security because they can roll over terrain so much easier than the old 26ers.

I'm ex moto. After my first crash, I had to switch my brakes, front-right side. The other thing, especially watching how a lot of these bikes respond, is their suspension is set up wrong, way too much rebound, but then not enough support in other cases. All of us will crash, trying to push it. My advice: have someone tune your suspension, and dial it in. But yeah, some are sending it past their skills.

New mountain bikers really do have a special ability to turn small jumps into MASSIVE crashes.

I’m convinced that many of these had wished they had gone home rather than gone big.

#37 has to be Fail Of The Year. The daring! The blind panic! The distance! Exemplary. The only thing missing is the radar trace from the local ATC.

When you know a crash is coming, it's the ones with the rocks and trees that really scare you. Then you've got #59 at 5:45. No rocks or trees, but yeesh, that's two full seconds of serious midair regret.

I love the dedication of their role as the cameraman to watch the person roll down the hill and not say a word

Most of these aren't even riding mistakes as such. Most are just people riding way beyond their capabilities. Scary shit when you can see way before the crashes that they have no control over what they're doing.

The male pain grunt is a universal sound.

Man, that is a lot of OTB! Happy New Year! Stay safe.

I cant show my wife this video if i wanna keep biking lol

After watching highly skilled rider videos doing awesome stuff, I get amped up and start thinking I can do that too. But after watching one of these fail videos, it brings me back to reality and no doubt saves me a lot pain and suffering.

7:26 bro knocked the tree down 💀💀💀💀

That shit is crazy! I think my friend and I have 3 - 4 clips on friday fails by now (last clip of 278 for example), and we still halve already two more in stock. The sport is kinda dangerous, but still so addicting.

OMG auch... Great compilation. And yeah I guess in a lot, if not most of the cases, a too speedy advance on the parts of trails ahead, seems the issue... But well, we race. We fall... it happens. Last year the only thing bugging me was a broken rib on the right and under it a cracked one. It heals...slow,...but it heals. Good luck healing!
