 last week was the real fail

 For real! As a dedicated mechanic at my LBS the only reason I even come to work on a sunny PNW Friday to deal with the barrage of cheap Chinese e-bikes and department store garbage that inevitably find their way into the shop for repair is the fact that I will at least enjoy the few minutes my coworker and I spend watching Friday fails.

 #15 because you never say "just send it" with your fresh pajama looking kit on. instant karma.
  • 18 0
 Both 1 and 9 are super brutal... I'd be interested in knowing of they are okay from those.
  • 8 0
 He may chime in - but #9 is fine!
  • 10 0
 i got an i9 add right in the middle of 9

 @twonsarelli: Mine was for onlyfans. Must be targeted.

 #1 one was horrifying.

#9 was... also horrifying.

Yikes.
  • 9 0
 I wonder if #9 will consider a FF helmet ... it seems perfectly suited for this crash. It probably wouldn't stop a concussion because the deceleration of the brain is similar with both helmets, but would have helped keep face more intact.

I voted #9 but #1 also brutal.
  • 3 0
 That was my first thought: 'Bet that dude upgraded to a full face helmet'.

 #1 is like a clip from a horror film preview. #9 is a hard hit but the biggest fail is that I got an ad mid crash. Like just before he hit the tree it cut to an ad.

 Got hit with the "We'll be right back..."

 Still recovering from a crash from a few weeks back... These videos hit different after a fresh fail

 Same...

 9 or 1 is probably the worst injury but there is something special about the chaos in 12.
  • 1 0
 12 is enough to end the ride but not quite enough to leave permanent damage I would guess.

 Frederick Watershed sighting in #11!

#1 was literally a nightmare.
  • 1 0
 Correct on #11.
  • 7 1
 The real fail is two 30 second ads in a 2 min video
  • 1 0
 For real, an ad interrupting the middle of a clip had me stop watching the video. The same ad over and over no less. Pretty bloody annoying.
  • 5 0
 I like #12 because if you close your eyes it sounds like when they mic up an offensive lineman an NFL game.
  • 5 0
 number 1 is absolutely horrifying
  • 3 0
 This one was so brutal .... Definitely will not help me in clearing this one gap in the woods ...
  • 3 0
 9 is how I broke my pelvis, so I'm voting 9. A close second is All of the vertical video.
  • 5 1
 why is there an ad in the middle of a 2 min video?
  • 4 0
 cos you don't know how to block them
  • 4 1
 15 just because its an ebike
  • 2 0
 #7- sometimes the best thing you can do is to let go of the bike and start running.
  • 3 0
 #7 What kind of bird is that ?
  • 2 0
 That's a flying squirrel.

 #6 Battle Creek Drop to beach

 First glance it looked like #12 was drifting left onto the rail. Running into the other rider was a much better outcome…
  • 2 0
 No. 12 is a rare example of the rider behind taking out the one in front rather than the other way round.
  • 2 0
 I voted #2 not based on the outcome, but for the worst fail in technique.
  • 1 0
 Might be wrong but that looks like Links at Purgatory.
  • 1 0
 1-4..(and a few others) poor guys crashed becaue the video person had in portrait mode. Shame. lol
  • 1 0
 Trees in the middle of the trail right after the jumps or did they just magically appear out of nowhere? Big Grin
  • 1 0
 Crashes were fine this week but the mid-crash audio was above average. Really adds to the FF experience!
  • 2 0
 12 for the sound effects but 9 seemed more than dazed...
  • 1 0
 First bro body slammed the ground
  • 1 0
 Having ridden #3, that is a brutal spot to OTB...
  • 1 1
 I thought 6 and 9 were pretty bad 69!
  • 1 0
 I vote #8 for the softest landing.
  • 1 0
 No awkward rebrand footage?
  • 1 0
 #4 was coooooking through that section
  • 2 0
 I'd call #11 a save.
  • 1 0
 Yes it could have hurt a little more if I had not partially recovered and went down at the top. Thx
  • 1 0
 Did I spy a Mountain Creek - Asylum crash?
  • 1 0
 What happened in #12 on Enter the Dragon? Slipped a pedal maybe?
  • 1 0
