Watched that last night.. the blokes got some bottle. Having said that and being clear that I know nothing about building a ramp like this or jumping over much of anything but right from the start of the video I had the thought that the ramp looked way too steep to get him over the house.?!

Still, was an entertaining 20 minutes.. Brendog's channel has been a pretty good distraction through most of the various lockdowns.

Gotta love his missus telling him 'that's enough now' at the end of the vid.. 😀

I feel like I just watched about 12 videos of him falling off his house.

Gotta love his missus telling him ‘that’s enough now’ at the end of the vid..

The "don't do that again" did seem quite miffed.

Anyone else get the "Manscaped" ad in the middle of that?! Bollock trimmer and priming kit. I bought one for Dawson.

"so Brendan, how did you end up in hospital adding to the workload of the overstretched NHS?"

"I was trying to jump my house on a push bike after being towed in by Motorcross bike"

Fails on Rule 1 (don't be a dick) in my eyes.

Utter moron, hospitals are full and he's doing something stupid that could easily take him there

Christ, here we go we another made up rule.

That is commensurate with his abilities, same as me going out and riding my local trails, same as my neighbour walking the local hills, he's not pushing himself out of HIS zone, if it was Dave Jenvey doing it, then I'd agree with you.

Dez, how does one go about priming the bollocks?!! haha

Agreed, while I am not a fan of the whole youtuber/influencer culture bollocks that means people give up racing careers to make clickbait videos it is a) not his fault b) his job and c) something he is quite good at.

Also by doing at his house he has prevented the mob of fifteen yearolds working out the location and copying it, which about the only (covid lockdown) fault you could find with these videos normally. Not exclusive to Fairclough, Kerr et al in the surrey hills, the smae thing will apply with the 50-01, Hazzard Dudes, even the GMBN crew in their respective local areas.

Haha, that made me laugh.

What a lunatic. The sketchiness of the run in alone would have put off anyone with normal sanity levels.

Needed more plywood obviously.

Half of me thinks OK that's kind of funny.

The other half of me thinks with a lockdown going on that he shouldn't have a group of his mates round helping him with such antics.

Pah, that's nothing, if he wants something sketchy, wait until Surrey Royal Hospital is trying to land him a bed while he's lying in the ambulance queue next week.

That is commensurate with his abilities,

So it appears.

If any of the judgemental knob heads on this forum did that, I'd say they're idiots. What you're forgetting is, Brendan can ride a bike a lot better than you can possibly imagine.
Now, i suggest some of step away from the keyboards, as you might cut a pinky on it😉

It was the bit just after he got off his bike which seemed problematic.

Dremel + multi-tool attachment.

(Actually just skipped to anticlimactic last 2 mins. Something I do a lot. Did I miss much?

I reckon if he landed it he would have been surfing that plywood bridge down the other side.

Another classic. Worth looking up his other "home" videos from lockdown. Plenty of sketchiness

Very funny, brilliant entertainment. Enjoy these videos.

Also great fuel for potential future Parish Council members to get all self righteous about.

It's his job, it's how he makes money.

You are allowed to go to work aren't you?

"That is commensurate with his abilities, same as me going out and riding my local trails"

So taking a massive slam like that is within his abilities? No, utter bollocks. I think we'd all agree he's lucky to not have injured himself.

Taking risks like that in todays climate it utterly idiotic, regardless of if it's to get some clicks to earn his money. I wonder how all the NHS workers would feel coming back from a 12 hour shift of hell and seeing people taking risks like this? I know, why don't we make a reaction video to this of my nurse OH who often gets back from the hospital and sits on the sofa in tears? That'll get him some views too. Doesn't paint a good picture for cyclists and the amount of grief we get in general either. Absolutely ashamed by videos like this and would certainly not be happy if I was his sponsor.

If he needs video views then he should be doing it another way. How about a series where he teaches people to do the basics like bunnyhop or wheelie. Or give us a series 'behind the scenes' of what training in the off-season looks like for a pro and encourages people to join in.

Absolute lunacy, everyone knows you should never upset a heavily pregnant partner... risking life or death with that alone let alone jumping his house on a MTB 😂😂

Impressive he kept trying after the first crash into the roof 🙂 I would have thought that little jump over the crap on the drive would have lost him some speed?

I watched it, entertaining enough but he clearly didn't have enough speed to make the jump and he would have known that. So the only conclusion is that he wanted an end to his video even if that meant stacking it, which to be fair he's probably good at as well but...
Guess he needs to keep the clicks coming.

So he's knocking the house down but CBA taking that bit of fence out to allow a faster run-up?

Bloody amateur.

I thought it was a brilliant video. He is very entertaining and has massive balls / skills.

Some of those on the forum getting upset about him risking clogging up the NHS need to vent their anger/frustration at Covid somewhere else.

FFS, you had better stop taking a shower with soap, just in case you slip in the shower. Or put corks on all your forks, just in case you trip up in the kitchen and stab yourself with one.

As an NHS worker whose just got back being at work in the hospital, I thought it was great. He saw where it was going at called it quits.
Best bit was him getting bollocked by his lady, I guess he's doesn't take her to Rampage.

people give up racing careers to make clickbait videos

As I understand it, the reason Brendan is still racing DH as some 10 years ago his team told him that there was absolutely no expectation for him to make race podiums and to carry on enjoying being himself. He would've had to be as disciplined as Gee to stay race relevant.
Without that team guidance he might have faded off into obscurity but what we have as a result is much much much better I reckon 🙂

There was a good segment on a Remy metallier vid where he explained why he wasn't going to risk riding a relatively easy but high consequence elevated skinny as this was risk he couldn't manage, yet he's happy to drop a bunch of massive consequence snow covered features.

He is really good on camera, isn't he? As is Olly Wilkins.

Someone needs to give them their own TV show.
