 damn it, just had a helluva crash a couple days ago (flipped numerous times) and i would have a video of it but the sd card in my go pro got knocked out grrrr!
  • 2 2
 I watched the Wyatt one, repeatedly, and even put some tape on my screen to verify that the tree actually does move. If you don't believe me, try it, yourself.
  • 1 0
 Cause the camera isnt moving at all....cars move trees not 90lbs kids...
  • 2 0
 I had to watch the wyatt hitting the tree vid again to see the broken arm. That is sick. And not in a good way.
  • 1 0
 why everyone thinking he broke his arm...no one ever seen someone get knocked out and go all handicap arms?
  • 2 0
 Yea but hes not knocked out...hes moving and you can see his wrist/arm bent backwards at a pretty drastic angle, then he tries to put weight on it and collapses.
  • 1 0
 You can move when unconscious you know, you move in your sleep all the time.

 Catherine Harnden's Huge Crash for sure! How her bike just stops and she flys on is very interesting!
  • 1 0
 She seems to drop into the gap between her tyre and frame as she hits the lip, maybe this slows the back wheel so much that she flies forward, whatever happened i reckon it hurt!
  • 1 0
 did she hit the back brake off the lip or something?
  • 3 0
 Her ass catches the tire. I was there, she dislocated her elbow and was walking arounf a few hours after. Crazy tough!
  • 2 0
 If you pause it you can see that the front tire is off the ground and the back is still on the lip when her butt hit the tire. Causing the bike to pivot like it did.
  • 1 0
 It is butt and tires
  • 5 0
 this is hilarious! PB should do this every friday. the last photo rocks btw, LOL!
  • 1 0
 Cheered up my Monday lunchtime. I feel so much better revelling in others misery lmao. We've all been there though, mates in the distance pissing themselves when you can't even breath. If you don't fall off you're just not trying hard enough.

 The river one reaction is awesome. Wyatt hitting a tree is for sure KO to broken wrist, humerus, and destroyed shoulder.
But did no one else see how perfect that rock fit in the gap of his helmet in "Crash to the Face"? It hit him perfectly!
  • 1 0
 bike in river is awesome! do i propose a device like the surfers use that keeps us attached by a line to our bikes when bailing? only for that particular trail in that particular section? takers?
  • 1 0
 Good idea until it gets caught on something then it would cause more problems than it solves. Smile
  • 1 0
 retractable leash goes around your wrist and attaches to the handlebar. Not much for it to get caught on and in a crash the is slack so you aren't "attached" as much you could be.
  • 1 0
 LOL @ Bike fall in class 5 rapids

"Dude my bike is in the river!"

My response if i was the guy riding in front
"Why did you put it in the river? did it look like it wanted a swim?"
  • 1 0
 just going to remind myself that the next time i go jumping and freak out after watching these it is your own fault! still gonna watch them though hehehheee..

 I don't so much 'enjoy' these, as find comfort in the knowledge that I'm not the only one who bails.Thanks to all my mtb brothers and sisters who join me on the forest floor.

 Wyatt hits a tree hard is the hardest I have ever seen someone hit those pesky trees. especially when the jump out that fast.

 I had my mind made up on the bike falling into the rapids, but then that kid in the tree and his helmet popped off and spun like crazy. The helmet trick bought my vote.
