Yeah there were a few skilled riders attempting really hard stuff this week- no shame in failing, I wouldn't come close to trying some of these. What I don't get, though- there were also an awful lot of people with no real chance of success- riding features way over their skill level. Did they think they would just figure it out in the air? Seems like a hard way to learn.
Get double-bounced on a trampoline while pushing back against it with your legs: go high, under control. Get double-bounded on a trampoline and let the mat buckle your legs: don't go high, out of control. Go off a jump while pushing back against it with your legs: go high, under control. Go off a jump and let it buckle your legs: don't go high, out of control, end up on Friday Fails.
I think #6 broke his steerer tube off and #15 had a tubeless tire blow off and wrap up the front wheel. Yikes! Lot's of jacked collar bones and hawged out shoulder joints in this batch.
Also amazes that folks are willing to chuck themselves off of drops with no plan.

Insensitive or just poor timing ….
