Man thats weak sauce, its not really his fault he just didnt have a good enough rig. he blew the crap outta that rim.

good enough rig? did you see how far he overshot the tranny? by a good twenty feet! if you look how he should have hit it, it would have only been maybe ten feet down. and i think those were single tracks.

yea those were single tracks.....pause it at 29.9 and you can see it clear! atleast the good news is, he leaned how to cartwheel

nobody inspects their rims often or thoroughly enough... I had something kinda like that happen to me once, I was rippin down a trail on my previous 8 inch dh rig (at least as fast as our random hero from the video) and I got just a little bit of air(less than 12 inches off the ground). My front tire then landed on a small, and smooth rock, my bike stopped I kept going, head first like superman style... I was trying to figure out why I crashed as I went back to my bike and found out why when I saw my rim looked like PAC-MAN waca waca waca.... it broke at the weld... when a rim wants to break its going to break, but either way you probably shouldn't be gapping a jump to flat ground on a hardtail.

The back story.....
John (Wellburn, the hero of the story), hit it once and blew his foot off the pedal so went back again. If you watch close, you'll see him land back wheel first and the front wheel slams extra hard into the landing bumps. THAT'S what caused the failure.
All he got was a bit of a raspberry on his lip where he smacked it into his fullface. Which meant that he didn't get any action that night, but that's another story.
It's on a trail called Aflo Daddy in Williams Lake. Wicked line, hit it up first chance you get.

for all u guys talking about never buying single tracks and that it wasnt his fault he crashed he should have had his spokes tightened i would have checked my spokes before hitting something big like that
