And finally there is an Ibis @1:54 that did its job (although the guy did everything to prevent it from that)

Wow. That is a clinic for how not to ride. Face level with stem, butt cheeks pinching the rear tire for extra speed control, pump the front brake for frequent nozzers... good grief.

@plyawn: that rider should 100% watch cathro's video on the boss stance...

Oh god yeah, that looked like one of Cathro's counter example videos.

PS: Mile (www.trailforks.com/trails/mile) making a Sunday Saves appearance! If you look on youtube there's multiple versions of the same stuff...

That's one of my favorite vids, "My Ibis do the job!" lol!

That was ugly. Mile is far from a superhard run. Just aim down on any modern trail bike and cruise on through.

@cpscotti: what blows my mind is that Mile isn't even *that* hard! lol.

I don't know what it is, but man does the Ibis Ripmo attracts more than it's fair share of Freds...I mean, lots of people rip on that bike, but holy moly is it completely binary! 3% or ripmo owners are shredders, 97% are this guy or worse. lmao

Today's saves are brought to you by: Incredible modern suspension. Put these folks on 2005 bits and Friday Fails would be a double feature!

Happens more often now than ever. Be careful on those overrun trails.

@alis66: Why? That kid was small, 29ers would roll right over him no problem.

I much prefer this to fail videos.

I can really feel the Sunday Saves, mostly because I can still remember doing so many of them myself. Literally the "school of hard knocks".

School of hard knocks alright. I've never seen so many bag rides on the top tube. This was the crushed nuts edition.

It’s like the bike gods know there’s way too much content available for the Friday Fails compilation, so they intervene to balance things out. Orange helmet guy at 1:56 was literally begging his bike to throw him over the bars, but the bike gods just wouldn’t have it!

I'm going to have nightmares from the guy @50 seconds. Warp speed and barely missing the big rock. That one could have gone really bad.

That one could've ended like a bug on a windshield.

That’s the new entrance line (rebuilt by Carson Storch & Josh Venti in spring 2021) of Runaround at Blackrock Mountain Bike Area in Oregon, at 2:54.

@2:26 now we know why he is always last in the train ... lots of talent to learn from though

Whistler I'd watch trains going over some of the big gaps at the bottom - often each rider getting progressively worse until along comes the caboose... You don't want to watch, but you can't look away.
