Favourite, the second clip in the downhill racing vid, where the guy falls off the start ramp!
Vid six makes me laugh way more than I should have
Some seriously sore bodies there, especially clip 8
It all just goes to show that riding slowly with your wheels in the ground is the safest way to be. Age and wisdom...
I liked number 7, just wonder if the bike survived
Some of those in number 8 gave me flashbacks to Les Arcs last summer! ๐ฏ

Unless you're in Slovinea sporting a wife beater and goggles combo.
I'm a big fan of number 4. That wasn't working out for him from the moment he got out of bed.
The last one is great too, Frank Spencer on a bike.
No8 is mental ๐
on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being extremely ashamed and 10 being utterly proud, should I be that No. 4 is in fact me?
ended up with a right deep slice down my shin, great scar to show for it though
Last months winner down the bottom is perfect.

Piss pot & goggles (Sooo 2006 Darling), wifebeater (Sooo 2001) and mates who still shoot mobile videos in portrait... Reckon it's a 1, sorry buddy...
No, it's a 2 - he held on to that bronco ride all the way down. ๐

In that case my favourite is ... errr anus. ๐
At any point in that sequence did you think I'll probably clean this?
I've got the sound off - is there a yeehaw from anus at some stage(s) ?
+1 point for every completed one
No6. is strangely stylish...
nice work Anus (not a sentence I thought I'd ever type)

I feel for you, it was like gravity was coming at you from all sides. Im also pretty sure you had 4 legs at some point on the way down. ๐

Think I know where 1 was, lots of people trying stuff like that, a mini rampage thankfully I'd had a beer and the bike was a long way off...
Know 7 too..
I like the one where someone's shouting 'Are you ok?' whilst the rider still bouncing off bits of scenery.
November winner is brilliant. How not to ride a bike.
I like the one where the rider just drops off the ramp, slowly. It's this kinda moment when you instinctively know you'll end up hurt, but there is sod all you can do about it.
Almost like moving poetry.
Approach..
Teeter..
Momentum..
Buttock Squeeze..
Gravity takes over..
Thud.
Check for broken bones..
Check for broken bike..
Take a bow.

surely?
Am I the only on who thinks the November Winner one looks a bit set up?
and mates who still shoot mobile videos in portrait...
The world is slowly catching up and accommodating portrait videos. It makes sense for some subjects and broadcast platforms.
November winner is my favourite because after the crash mysterious fellow mtbrs seem to appear out of the woods like magical dryads.
I think number 1 was Nicholi Rogatkin. He certainly knows how to crash.
Bunch of amateurs IMHO. If only people had been filming me
๐
I love the way the nov winner on the ramp just stays with the bike. Nope, I can get this back if I can just......
If that had been me I would have been doing star jumps to get away from the bike!
MOAR CRASHEZ!

6 is excellent, as is backyard dirt jumping dood on his DH bike.
4?
Oof,number 2 looks very painful ๐ฏ
Makes me feel my skills are reasonable.
.
It's the "oooooooohhhh" that's gets me in #4, but all credit to the chap, he's got bigger cojones than me going into jumps!
