Too bad you didn't get a better video of it.

Needed to tilt the camera a little further up.

When I watched the video I was like "He's lucky he ended up only washing out!". Seeing the list of injury, that's a pretty hardcore wash out...

I thought he should set his suspension firmer.

Damn crash doesn't even look that bad. Brittle bones or something.

heavypedalmtb (Dec 30, 2014 at 20:21)

Wow! The list of carnage #1 suffered is worth more than a free backpack... Heal up soon!

Then Pay closer attention. He's thrown into that berm or mound of dirt or whatver it is. And he's going pretty fast.

Geeze, he was having a decent run otherwise. Pass on our support for the rider!

The "FAIL OF THE MONTH" are the life-most useful materials on the pinkbike: they are sobering.
One have an opportunity to analyse a mistakes and what to pay attention for.

Invest in a full-face and a pressure suit.

skelldify (Dec 31, 2014 at 10:03)

Hey, it sucks he got messed up so bad. I'm just saying, I don't think the video is that good, certainly not fail of the month worthy.

oldenglish (Dec 31, 2014 at 11:00)

Don't think that was 40ft gap as the title says, looks more like 20 tops. Also, who the hell hits a 20ft gap without a full face? Sorry about the injury, but use some common sense.

3 1

PLC07 (Dec 31, 2014 at 20:21)

20feet isn't big by any margin. If you jump much bigger on a regular basis it can feel pretty safe.

Mini-Pinner (Dec 31, 2014 at 22:01)

That was some sketchy riding. As I was watching that i thought every jump was going to be the one he was going to crash on.

ritchtrialsuk (Jan 1, 2015 at 5:20)

Pretty sure that's the Pro Line on Enter the Dragon at Bike Park Wales - definitely 40ft chaps and you have to hit it really quick to make it.

4 0

oldmanDan (Jan 1, 2015 at 5:56)

It is indeed the pro line at bpw! And having done almost the same thing myself on the same jump, I can attest to the fact that it is 40ft!

3 0

alfieh1998 (Jan 2, 2015 at 1:10)

Yeah having ridden past them jumps that run along side I can also agree the are a good 40ft and you do have to hit them insanely fast

if it was me with the backup fail I'd definitely have pretended I meant it and maybe just casually jogged off to the loo or something.

With a Roly poly at the base of the landing so it looked intentional to land on the arse XD

Was November the month with the guy who extended his neck like 180° jumping a gap?

GETSOME22 (Dec 31, 2014 at 5:13)

man that's rough I hit a tree a few weeks back and its been tough to get my confidence back. Its progressing slowly but I am thinking about investing in a full face helmet and body armor. Still wouldn't do much for the spine and I came off a jump endo'ed face first into a tree and scorpioned myself in the air it was pretty sweet. I recommend a teeter hangup it does wonders for the back! lol

#1 's crash was brutal, scary stuff. Hope you heal up alright dude!

Steve-skidvd (Dec 31, 2014 at 5:51)

Got to be No1, if only to hear the Welsh accent at the end... he was pinning it until that gap, and he didn't underjump it, just got a little sideways and missed the landing... If the injuries listed above are correct... Big Up to the man and hopefully a full recovery...

#2 for reinforcing the important lesson "look where you want to go, not at what you want to avoid"

#6 is clearly Marple in Stockport. Sheffield is the other side of the Peaks. The title places must be where the riders are from.

GiraffeInPurple (Dec 31, 2014 at 12:44)

#6 just a lil more speed you could of made it to the other landing.

Lselby99 (Dec 30, 2014 at 18:21)

#1 makes me hurt just seeing it, get better soon, but #2 shows the disadvantage of bigger wheels.

oodboo (Jan 2, 2015 at 0:39)

I'm pretty sure that's a 26" dj bike in #2. Are you saying he should be riding 24"?

#5 because he has very lucky!

Legis (Jan 8, 2015 at 3:43)

Haha, but i prefer to say that is dismounting without damaging yourself skill

So another way of summarizing #1 would be near death experience or simply.....sh$%!

"Merthyr Tydfil"
Is this dude's name?
If so, this alone earns the FAIL.
Give the man the freaking prize, and thank everyone else for playing.
