 @2:42 I do believe we're witnessing history here, first known instance of someone asking the cameraman if they're ok before they can ask if the rider is ok

 can anyone explain the kid riding the wood ramp that was dug into the dirt, but perfectly mimicked the dirt they removed? like, why????? LMAO

 Next week, everyone move your Friday ride to Saturday. Nobody wreck, everybody sends it and nails the landing. We can beat this Friday curse.

 3:15 - Did anyone check to see if the rider left a farewell note at the top of the cliff?

 Riders that refuses to consider wearing flats ever: "2:04. See. Told you so."

 Give him credit for the fake out. Looked like it was gonna be the typical low speed nose dive. But he pulled just enough speed at the last second . . . only to miss the landing.

 ya that was an entertaining bail. i thought it was going to be a bad nose dive but no! wheelie into the abyss!

 2:44 reminds me of my kids when I ask them if they’re OK. Quickly say “yes”, then start crying and say “noooo”.

 2:09 Those floating OTBers are just absolutely horrific!! That is an automatic hospital trip.

 I'm curious what "friends' laugh at you while you just ate some serious dirt and possibly hurt yourself pretty bad ?
  • 1 0
 I’ve never done a backflip, but I know that the key to success is to hit the jump face at the speed of a slow walk.

 I understand having a laugh at the small misfortunes or even at bigger crashes, but only after finding out everything is ok. When people just laugh hysterically and continue filming, it's time to reconsider your riding partners.
  • 6 0
 I think people's first reactions are the actually the ones that don't matter. It's not like they can do anything to help right away, even if they are injured; if someone gets hurt, it's the process of getting them off the trails for medical attention that matters. That's when you need support from level-headed riding partners. People react weird under stress anyways and everyone is different.

Anyways, the cameraman is supposed to keep filming! That's the point! If I crash and the cameraman doesn't get the clip, I'm going to be even more pissed than if I had landed something sick and they didn't get the clip. Gnarly crashes don't happen every session, and if they don't drop a Friday Fails of my life at my funeral someone is getting haunted.
