He's a rugged kid, of course he's durable. that f*cker.... I'd love to see him doing more stuff with the Nitro youngins. 360 quad whip??? uhhhhhh

zjp2000 (Feb 9, 2016 at 17:01)

maybe he's made out of rubber

Sadly, this looks like CTE in the making.

MANA624 (Feb 9, 2016 at 21:20)

@mi-bike CTE is developed over thousands of impacts taken directly to the brain. While it may not be impossible, I would say that while mountain bikers are anything but safe, we can pretty much scratch that one off. If you watch the video he lands on his feet most of the time, and these are the worst in a career of biking.

Durable for sure....Just curious how you're doing physically? I'm pretty lit right now built I know my face was wincing throughout that vid. I love how creative you are and how you push yourself. Very unique style.....Keep it up!

I'm still not sure which one is scarier, if that frontflip to faceplant or the utah cliff.... Damn, he is a tank!

That's not true, we are just learning the real consiquinces when it comes to trauma of any level to your brain. They are finding damaged brains in water skiers simply from years of riding choppy water, and ONE concussion is enough to permenately effect your brain negatively.

scott-townes (Feb 10, 2016 at 8:14)

@mayha49 its about building up your muscles to support the weaker areas of the body and of course knowing how to fall which has a ton to do with it. Look up injury prevention workouts. There should be some routines out there you can do at home.

Hopefully he is the poster child of no long term troubles once he ages a bit. I wish him well and hope he has a great season.

The commentary is great. Nicholi you're the man.

juicebanger FL (Feb 10, 2016 at 9:15)

After walking away from every one of these crashes he has to be the toughest guy in MTB

hollowing2000 (Feb 9, 2016 at 19:56)

Bordo had some nasty ones as well. They are like chunks of steel that just roll out when they hit the ground.

The Dude is built solid, when he crashes its the rocks that break.

GOGRANDE (Feb 9, 2016 at 21:38)

Nick is one of those dudes that makes me think there are aliens on earth dressed as humans.

Korea848 (Feb 9, 2016 at 17:39)

How was #2 not #1?

SteveDekker (Feb 9, 2016 at 18:00)

Yeah 2 was scariest, guess 1 hurt more.

MaxDeutsch (Feb 9, 2016 at 22:02)

#2 was brutal

Cmac101 (Feb 9, 2016 at 18:55)

Is it weird I like him a lot more after watching this than I did before? What an animal...

Ger09 (Feb 9, 2016 at 16:21)

Good lord..

joose (Feb 9, 2016 at 17:37)

Kali better step up their coverage for Nicoli

airon (Feb 9, 2016 at 19:29)

damn those are some hard hits, Amazing skills.. try to avoid these top 10, In the future and you will get gold between your teeth. Like a pirate! red bull was a amazing accident to have seen in my life. so glad you rode away that day!

slayerdegnar (Feb 9, 2016 at 20:19)

Hey Nicoli, chill out in Utah from now on.

flyerhead5 (Feb 9, 2016 at 18:32)

OMG that last one! Why is he still here, except to keep entertaining me...

obee1 (Feb 9, 2016 at 20:58)

Keep charging hard kid. I personally prefer seeing you landing shit, but I appreciate that you have a good attitude about the inevitable crashes that you endure. Good on ya for posting this, cheers

DeepThought (Feb 10, 2016 at 6:52)

I still can't believe they let him finish his Rampage run after that tumble. Glad it worked out fine for him, though.

Bigbikes1 (Feb 9, 2016 at 17:37)

Haha love the Sportscenter countdown! So sick!

steveperry (Feb 9, 2016 at 16:04)

Ouch!!

molloser (Feb 9, 2016 at 22:31)

Gosh look at his front wheel after #1 . #2 freaking insane... I have even more respect for him now!

Kainerm (Feb 10, 2016 at 12:21)

I remeber seeing him at the Vienna air king. He kept bombing into the ground during the best trick contest on every. Single. Jump. Every time he got up, but also every time he kept looking worse and worse off... I wonder how many concussions he has suffered in his career...

victorcultbmx (Feb 10, 2016 at 15:00)

He won Vienna Air King contest and best trick

hgrenade (Feb 10, 2016 at 13:32)

beast mode! future rampage winner

Stvante (Feb 9, 2016 at 21:29)

wow.. he's got ninja skills for walking out of these crashes.

Waldon83 (Feb 10, 2016 at 0:40)

What a beast, tough as nails! And something crazy like a bee sting is what will end his cycling career.... Fingers crossed that never happens

simooo (Feb 10, 2016 at 2:36)

He is using his karma up wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too fast. Don't end up in a box!

connected-project (Feb 10, 2016 at 6:29)

the fflip crash looked the worst to me!

SeanFionn (Feb 11, 2016 at 18:09)

Only a matter of time, we all fall we all crash one thing is for certain eventually your luck runs out.

abele02 (Feb 11, 2016 at 14:38)

Surprised the Crankworx crash when he broke his leg didn't make it.

rbernard (Feb 11, 2016 at 22:59)

i learned nothing from this video other than Nicholi can be a luck guy sometimes.

bikesoverbritches (Feb 11, 2016 at 9:18)

Lawn dart front flip to shoulder smash makes me cringe every time.

Georgecookie (Feb 11, 2016 at 13:45)

Paking (Feb 12, 2016 at 6:16)

robokfc (Feb 12, 2016 at 9:53)

still a cunt though

Georgecookie (Feb 10, 2016 at 14:39)

how ?

burnbern (Feb 10, 2016 at 15:37)

You ever met him? Seems like a nice enough kid in person...

LindLTaylor (Feb 11, 2016 at 6:33)

Story at my local jump spot is that he came up to a guy there and apologized profusely for tire-tapping his helmet with his back wheel... While they were both riding. Dude hadn't even noticed, and when he checked his helmet, sure enough, there was a tire mark from one side to the other. He really is a nice guy, just doesn't like tipping his hand at competitions. He's also among he first to congratulate other competitors if you look closely during events.
