Video: Friday Fails #262

 sounded like the AXS hits a shift before the slam lol

 "do a wheelie!"

 (Voice over in Disney narrator style)
And gnarly it was indeed.

 I think we all knew it was gonna end bad with the goggles backwards on the head.

 Great question! The rider is coming up to the jump and starts shifting their weight forward to anticipate the jump face, but as they're moving forward and standing up to absorb the force of the jump, their rear wheel hits a rock or root that they hadn't noticed. When the rider's rear wheel hits the bump, the rear wheel slows down significantly and the riders weight shifts forward violently. It looks like the rider is also braking with the rear brake a little to speed check before the jump, which is going to exacerbate how much the rear wheels slows down when they hit the rock or root. If the rider isn't expecting a lot of traction from the rear wheel as they're braking and then they hit a rock and the rear wheel instantly locks up, it's really bad. It's a pretty common way to crash, and you can even see World Cup DH racers crash in this exact way sometimes when they don't see a tiny rock or root at the wrong time. I've eaten shit this way in race runs. It sucks.

 @TEAM-ROBOT: "nerd" - Jacob Furbee

 @treymotleyDH: That is correct

 ITOFTS too but that doesn't stop me either..lol

 @TEAM-ROBOT: or spinal stenosis

The stutter bumps coming in could have temporarily paralyzed the rider.

That was how we found out about my wife's condition.

She hit the deck too but much harder and much worse consequences.

 @TEAM-ROBOT: as long as you’re aware

 Penis arms, quite common on Friday fails.

 First thing that came to my mind at 1:25 was poor suspension set up. Chattery bumps like that should be absorbed by your fork.

 ya buddy, i've gone full caption for a few weeks now. really adds another level of enjoyment

 Just went back for a rerun with captions on. That's magic! Tears.....

 I believe her name is "Mother Francis"

 Could be a save really

 I think his shorts clip the 29" rear wheel and actually "hit the brakes" with one wheel still on the drop. Catastrophic.

 Using the compression shaming in your arms and legs would be even more effective

 if we are referring to the guy who superman'd off the drop...it's b/c his ass got sucked into the rear tire as he was going off. Got to imagine getting your balls pinched before you are slammed into the ground has got to be terrible

 @SATN-XC: I was mostly referring to a lot of the fails we see in most of the episodes they post. For sure a lot less drop fails in this one but I swear there was one where it was just a straight ride off haha.

 @SATN-XC: You mean your gnarberries?

 Here ya go: youtu.be/L2rD1qVEY68

 Helmet visor... after slamming face to ground.
