 The one in Sweden wins for me because it was almost amazing
  • 24 1
 the trail is called Flinnbanan, I believe. It is an amazing jump trail, and I can totally understand, why the dude wanted to whip the shit out of it, the trail just totally sets you up for it. Bit too much of a whip though Smile

my vote for 5
  • 49 1
 His street style would have been off the charts.
  • 13 1
 Awesome! vote for N°5 as well. Although I love the noise on N°2...
  • 4 0
 his buddy ride with plastered hand
  • 2 1
 He should work on that trick.
  • 3 1
 5 was awesome!
  • 8 1
 It looks like he was just thinking about trying some Danny MacAskill moves mid trail!
  • 4 1
 Ya... #5 was so close to being trick.... A few more degrees of rotation and some momentum... someone should be trying to recreate that crash but pull out of it at the end
  • 3 2
 #5 was trying to be like semenuk whith a fast plant 360.
  • 11 1
 Anyone else think he was going to hit the REAL gap in No. 4?
  • 2 0
 Apparently formula drift is becoming a mountain biking sport
  • 1 0
 #5 was the funniest crash I've seen in a long time!
  • 1 0
 I was planning on it haha
  • 1 0
 He shoulda just kept his front wheel on the ground and did a "slider" type half cab out. !!!!! Gotta say : if he could pull a 360 slider going that fast- it would be sick as hell. Definately COULD have been done tho ; )
  • 1 0
 Yes! But if he did he was done for, needed so much more speed.
  • 84 1
 #2 for funniest cause of all the cussing and we've all been there.
#4 for sketchiest moment. That could've been soooo bad
#5 for best save. That shit was amazing
  • 1 0
 #3 for what just happened
  • 80 4
 look i dont think reece wallace should have won it was pretty bad but that crabapple crash was insane. i dont think reece needs any more free stuff
  • 9 1
 agreed
  • 12 1
 When i saw the winner i thought the crabapple crash must have been in June. How the heck did he not win???
Please give this man his evoc he deserves it.
  • 2 1
 #2 Case to CRAZY nose manual!
  • 17 3
 The crabapple guy has been getting enough free hospital food, he doesn't need a pack.
  • 14 0
 I didn't win and I din't spend more than an hour in the Hospital, but thanks anyways. The voting online doesn't mean a thing, I guess.
  • 5 0
 You got robbed man, should have won last month.
  • 11 0
 Doms got robbed!
  • 1 0
 Dom's has to be the worst crash ever. He has to win COY. Just re-watching that makes me cringe.
  • 35 1
 "F*CK, F*CK, F*CK, F*CK, F******CK!"

I just pee'd my pants in laughter!
  • 11 0
 I believe you missed a "MOTHERF*CK!" in the middle - and the retarded sound at the end, haha!
  • 5 0
 That last F*******CK! is classic. He knows he is going off the edge doing a nose manual. Gonna watch that throughout this Friday any time I need a laugh.
  • 1 0
 I hear "Move out" not "Motherf*ck"?
  • 1 0
 +1 #2 - Penshurst, UK for the win. big crash and as hilarious.
Just unfortunate it wasnt in HD, 1080 would have been amazing.
  • 16 0
 Want to win the evoc bag, but really don't want to crash hard enough to win it..
  • 55 0
 You can do it, I believe in you. Totally worth it.
  • 11 1
 #5 cuz it was awesome.......and no kids or cows were harmed during the making of this movie
  • 7 1
 Number one, because you can't beat a good old face plant, and wtf was he thinking? The 360 one was almost the most amazing mid-bikepark run trick ever.
  • 1 0
 Went from shear vert to zombie in 1:10 of a second
  • 2 0
 tottaly number 5, but 4 a strange thing... the deathspin was almost recovered, but, what it made me laugh, was the third buddy, did anybody noticed that he is riding with a cast on his arm? sec no. 32.

cheers!!
  • 1 0
 HA...good eye! That is priceless
  • 1 0
 Is that guy from the first video alive ???????????
His fork was bottomed out pritty obviously because of the angle of rock to ground was very close to 90 degree and his front wheel also gone leftside after hit.
Idiotism to do such descending when it is obvious to hit the ground at such angle at the ending.
  • 3 0
 #2. Mostly for the Uhhh Uhhhhhhh after completely disappearing in the bushes.
  • 2 0
 #4 He needs to win something to offset the p*ss taking his mates must have been doing while he emptied the turd out of his pants.
  • 3 0
 Turn the volume up to max and listen for the 'death rattle groan' at the end of #1 - we have a winner
  • 2 0
 #5 was so close to being the coolest trick ever. His buddy totally knew it too.
  • 1 0
 I'll be very surprised if #5 doesnt take it...that is one of THE most epic "saves"! Stayed on the trail the whole time! lol
  • 1 0
 Okay number 2 as i have done the exact same thing as he did but he landed a lot harder by the sounds of it, number 5 is a very close second
  • 2 0
 #5, although I find #3 strangely amusing because of the landing separating bike from rider...
  • 1 0
 Have any other previous winners not received their prize? I was told that evoc was trying to contact me. But they're not doing a very good job of it.
  • 1 0
 Wonderful collection. I really adore/disgust the sound of #3. Sounds terribly.

But #5 is of course the best thing since months!
  • 1 0
 # 1 for total balls without knowing you need a lot better run out!
#2 for the audio and panic! Saw it coming, had a chance to save, but just lost it!

 These were weak. #3 could have hurt and 5 looked cool--the rest were worthless
  • 2 0
