arna86 (May 31, 2015 at 12:32)

#5 - that "ohhh sh*t" was perfect - I reckon every single person on this forum can relate to that exact moment

6 2

rustyhorse (May 31, 2015 at 18:22)

Yea #5 - I'd like to have a beer with that dude - too funny

42 0

Evo360 (May 31, 2015 at 14:24)

I love the way that most of them are hucking decent gaps and the one right at home in good ol' Blighty is of a guy falling off a three foot wide wooden feature.

MTBLegend92 (May 31, 2015 at 12:32)

My etch-a-sketch has better resolution than #6

skibeejeebees (May 31, 2015 at 12:52)

#3 !!! That slow walk away after the crash was perfect hahaha

1 1

bikecustomizer (May 31, 2015 at 20:29)

#3 is what I always worring about: undershoot
(because I'm 96kg)

5 2

iamamodel (Jun 1, 2015 at 14:18)

Bikecustomizer, weight makes no difference when it comes to projectile motion. Where you land is a function of speed and angle of takeoff. Just go the same speed as your friends and you'll be fine.

Brandons1996 (Jun 1, 2015 at 14:39)

Lol had to get up and out of there before the adrenaline went away. Shitty part about riding solo

1 2

bikecustomizer (Jun 1, 2015 at 14:47)

@iamamodel
Weight makes difference for acceleration and speed, doesn't it ?

I guess hevier needs more speed to shoot/fly further.
And where you land is a function of speed and angle of takeoff.

As my friends ? All right.
And how do I know if I'm alone on a new stunts/trail, nobody around?
Of course - try.

That is what I've written about.

"Shitty part about riding solo"

Precisely.

Arnoodles (May 31, 2015 at 12:27)

#8 looked brutal. That get's my vote.

owenpollock (May 31, 2015 at 12:31)

agreed #8 was the nastiest

slc-ripper (May 31, 2015 at 13:42)

His roll out of it made it all the more impressive

1 0

Median (May 31, 2015 at 16:52)

anyone else notice the bend in his legs right after he crashes?

1 0

dmacrostie FL (Jun 1, 2015 at 9:00)

Ya it looked like those little wiggle legs snapped at the knees! Hopefully it was just the angle.

geephlow (Jun 1, 2015 at 16:21)

"was it close at all?" -- holy schnitz, that was funny! I'm still cleaning the coffee spit-take off my keyboard...

C'mon -- give rossfr something for the effort, EVOC!

millpill (May 31, 2015 at 13:16)

Remember when we saw those massive cases at the santa cruz fest series? Now that I see these people case these jumps and get reked, I wonder how those guys didn't die...

5 0

kdstones (May 31, 2015 at 16:32)

#7 because I can't believe he managed to overshoot that big of a jump!

2 0

otrider (Jun 2, 2015 at 6:57)

love #3 the crash is no better or worse than most but the troll walk with his shorts half off is genius LOL. Nasty is #8, it looked bad in slowmo, would like to see that at speed.

skelldify (Jun 8, 2015 at 9:34)

Can someone tell me how to submit a video? I messaged "evoc" with a link to my video like it says, but never heard back. I looked up the user profile for "evoc," and it's some poor dude from CA who happens to have all those letters in his name. I wonder how many Fail of the Month submissions he gets?

RedBurn (May 31, 2015 at 14:48)

THE 2ND GUY IN THE FIRST VID should have had a gopro!!!!!!!

daddyfras (Jun 2, 2015 at 1:15)

So much comedy this month! While it's not the best crash, I'm calling number 3, purely because of the walk at the end - golden. Been there buddy.

joshward615 (May 31, 2015 at 13:29)

I needed the long pause after 1 so I could gather my thoughts.

dirtjumper771 (May 31, 2015 at 13:04)

I'm think either 5 or 1. 1 was a solid crash, but 5 had the oh shit moment. I hate hard decisions

3 0

Dan278 (May 31, 2015 at 13:24)

yeah #5 is clearly the winner!

jonnyschmidt (May 31, 2015 at 13:27)

Best post of the month as usual!

OMGBBQ (May 31, 2015 at 14:42)

I think #5. It seems like a working man's attempt. Regular bike, seems like a guy out for a good rip. And he has some great comedic timing. "oh shit." Classic.

burgiaramaixo (May 31, 2015 at 13:13)

Toby-G (Jun 5, 2015 at 4:55)

With all these polls going around pinkbike, can we have a poll for last words before a crash, guaranteed fun right there.

Come on....you can crash better than that!!!

I walked away completely un-harmed with my bike intact, only to snap my leg a little later on the jump after that...

holy crap haha

freeride-forever (May 31, 2015 at 22:59)

#1 hands down. Nice steezy line, bruh looked like he had it locked the fvck down & it was totally unexpected that he was not only gonna blow up but then bring in the camera as collateral damage. Easy win.

#4 should put the fvckin' trainin' wheels back on. :s

chappy08 (Jun 1, 2015 at 3:42)

Bit of a goon you bruh

nutelladonut (Jun 1, 2015 at 7:04)

Tbh, not digging how the April winner wasn't a mtb clip. Like, maybe if the prizes were pegs... Not mtb day riding backpacks. Just some food for thought.

DBomberMan (Jun 1, 2015 at 14:53)

#3 for the old man shuffle

1 0

DrPete (Jun 6, 2015 at 16:14)

#1 was totally cringe-worthy, and the extended silence/camera on the ground just added to the "oh shit" factor.

3, 4, and 6 where really dumb. 8 looked like the guys legs broke the way it was swinging around.

ecologist (Jun 1, 2015 at 6:51)

come on, #6? Dumb sure, but so funny. Dude does a half flip to face plant, "Was it close at all?"

Did someone say "Yoda?"
