 Evoc, PLEASE send me the bag I won last year.
  • 58 4
 I emailed EVOC directly, they asked for proof (emails from Pinkbike and links to the page which the winners listed) and within a week I had a shiny new freeride bag.

I was really impressed with EVOC taking control and sending a bag out... If you've won also and have evidence then I'd highly recommend emailing your countries office!

 ^ That's the complete opposite of them taking control, haha. You had to alert them and to provide proof of the contest existing? That's whack as all hell. Does PB put these contests on without any oversight from Evoc? It seems the only people who get their gear are the ones who take the initiative and contact Evoc to provide "proof" of them winning a contest. What if the winner blew up both hands and eyeballs during the crash!? That person would never get their bag and that's just sad. But seriously though, these videos are awesome and get your shit together Evoc.

 I didn't write the complete story Scott.... I initially saw that I had won a Saturday Sequence when it was listed here on PB a few weeks after my caption was written. I PM'd PB (I'll refrain from using user names) to ask if I had actually won. A few days later I had a reply saying yes and to send them me address details.

A year later when this accident competition started up (I'd completely forgotten that I'd won), I was reminded that I had won and emailed PB again: (same user) which to this date still shows as not being read. A few months later I emailed EVOC directly and had it resolved within a week. I would say that's a pretty clear case of EVOC taking ownership. Their customer service was professional at all times... particularly that I see the oversight being with PB.

I Completely understand why you'd think differently given I didn't initially wish to share the full story... but since you took the time to make an nonconstructive reply I thought I'd share the details.

As for your hypothetical eyeless stump armed rider... they'd have never been able to see and type a reply with their address anyway!

 I feel your pain coolbeans, I won a sequence Saturday a few years back and never got anything either.

 fun fact: i was told that i won the february contest, but turns out that they are mentioning a user which didn't appear on the february contest, at least as far as i know...

 patch- that makes a bit more sense. It sounds like that PB user just fell off the face of the planet. whoops.

 #8 def ended in some inadvertent ball grabbing
  • 2 0
 You nose case and crash to getting your balls landed on.
  • 1 0
 @JackAyrton Did you break your face? That looked painful. You young whipper-snappers get right back up and keep shredding though most of the time.

The bike doing an endo and landing on your head was a nice touch though.

  • 9 0
 Me too, that was 5secs of pure fear I won't forget for a while..!
  • 3 0
 I thought exactly the same! Was like, oh shyte! Bad times - these comments have made me feel better for sure! The Sheffield lad I think took the hardest slam... Trees always win, ALWAYS!

 #1 for the Ground Punch.
#8 for the Junk Punch.

Tough to judge, I'd say #1.
  • 2 0
 8, I thought he deserved it though? was I too harsh?
  • 2 0
 #4 for the the balls to mimic brett rheeder
#8 for the epic heartbeat at the end....
  • 17 0
 Evoc has conveniently skipped over the past two months. I definitely would've won March. Also, numerous people have complained about never receiving prizes.
  • 2 0
 Pretty sure u are #4 in the Feb Fails.
  • 14 0
 #8 ( 1:04 ) there is nothing better after crash than a hand of your friend hitting your balls!
  • 6 0
 Just making sure he still had feeling down there.
  • 3 0
 @joshbaro very important! and if somebody should check it, than only your bike mate :-)
  • 14 0
 Why the heck #5 grabbed the front brake in the air? OMG.
  • 8 0
 He realized in mid air h3 was headed for the tree. Instead of leaning the bike away from the collision and trying to ride it out, he panicked and grabbed brake.
  • 2 0
 Don't look at this what you don't wont to ride in

 #3: DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FREE RIDE FLICK LARRY??!!?? DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS???

  • 25 0
 Sack attack! lol
  • 4 0
 The guy just aimed for her (i mean from now on ) balls
  • 8 0
 #8 has my vote. Who here hasnt had to try avoiding a rider down? Hopefully OTB to another's ball wasn't the outcome however!
  • 3 0
 looks like he landed his hand right in his mates nuts as if he wasn't already hurt enough
  • 2 0
 #8 crotch punch had me giggling like a school girl.
#5 front brake grab was great for his sheer stupidity
but #3 takes the cake, because crashing hard ONCE in a day wasn't enough. He should win because of his persistence in crashing multiple times!
  • 2 0
 How come you skipped the results of the last fails. EVOC?.. Don't expect this to have a winner as well just enjoy, no one wins anything should be the title. Signs 2 time runner up to failure of month.

 #2 - nice example of decent jumping technique, immediately followed by bad jumping technique.

#3 - It always bemuses me to see guys sporting full face helmets..and no other protection. The philosophy appears to be "so long as my noggin' is ok". Each to their own, I suppose.
  • 3 0
 And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I now wear a full face. Number 1 and 5 in particular.
  • 4 0
 JARYTON !!!!! YOU MADE IT BUDDY YOUR FAMOUS

 #8.. I mean that is funny! Dude goes OTB and then gets his buddy slamming his sack. hahaha
  • 4 0
 #8 FTW - bonus points for the inverted crotch-grab
  • 2 0
 Number 1 lmao faceplant !!!! anyone for dirt sandwich..........get in there.
  • 2 0
 #3 - that's why you don't plant big trees so close to the inside of your berm. I thought everybody knew that . . .
  • 2 1
 sorry Sean!!!! : ( we will consult you with any questions next time we plan to dig a berm!!!
  • 2 0
