 The stoppie no-footer to no handed nut ride was my favorite.

Also where in AZ (i assume was the clip at 0:36 filmed?

 If you're talking about the chap at :49 then I'm in full agreement.

 The rocky section is in Phoenix on The National Trail, that section is called the waterfall (a rarity in AZ). I believe the other section with the cactus is Hawes, but I'm not sure.

 My best guess is Hawes > Big Sis.

So this is weird that I am not posting under my own screen name.

 There were more new ways to crash shown this week than I’ve never seen in a single FF video.

 Let's call it a Starfish Berry-Cruntcher? It was an epic move!

 @SATN-XC completely agree, there were some gnarly crashes, but this one was a serious slap from gravity.

 @Yaan: I think there’s a bit of moms voice just before the clip ends.

 @ripinitup: dad on the slow “oh god”…mom with the 3x as fast “oh god”…hahaha…listen closely…

 its funny asking "are you OK?" before he even stops crashing...
  • 8 0
 guy even answered back before coming to a full stop

 I thought the same thing, the guy was still sliding on his face when he was asked if he was ok. We need some crashing etiquette lessons. What is the proper amount of time to wait before you ask " are you ok?"
  • 2 0
 @reximus42: Wait until they've stopped sliding and taken two deep breaths.

 This is why the gym is important if you wanna send it. So many people folding like lawn chairs under compression.

 I find that swallowing some volume spacers helps with this.
  • 8 0
 This is why skills are important if you're going to ride legit black diamond trails. Lots of folks ride someplace like Arkansas, think they can throw down, then try to ride hard trails in Moab or GJ and get schooled.

 :31 looked like he has been to the gym, didn't help much

 In winter, I train flying over the handlebars to a snow mound. It saved my neck once.
  • 3 2
 Actually, if you send it you don’t need the gym. If you think you’re gonna hit the gym and work into sending it by getting stronger that way, it’s too late.. sending it is not for you

 And it's BS. I love any kind of fail (Jerry of the Day has some choice snow fails) but this is an MTB site.

 Got nervous with that desert crash. All I was thinking was “Don’t hit the cactus. Don’t hit the cactus”. Haha. I’ve had to pull needles out of my arms a couple of times. Not a fan.

 strange -I was thinking hit the cactus hit the cactus

 It never gets old watching sleeveless shirt bros crash in the desert, LOL. Enjoy that completely avoidable trail rash.

 I can't decide between the base-jumping lady at 0:30 and the quicksand drop at 1:43. Hated to see the grom at 1:39 tho, Hope he/she is ok.

 If your Friday Fail was filmed by a man in a Red Bull helmet, is it really a fail?
  • 3 0
 A fail is a fail. One thing is for sure....backflipping the Tombstone takes some serious cajones!?

 Can we get these as GIFs?

 The rider at .50 throwing his hands in the air wasn't enough to save him, if the would have also closed his eyes and screamed I think he would have pulled through.

 It's Ejection Seat Friday apparently. Every taste and type of OTB is present.
0:49 really needs a digitally enhanced slomo close up. Great sequence of movements there.
