We've all been there: It's the rock roll you've done a thousand times before, that one off-camber root section, or maybe it's your first time hitting a brand new drop - you crash. Accidentally crashes are part of our sports. EVOC certainly don’t want you to provoke crashes for this competition but they would like to keep you safe on your next adventure by dishing out prizing for the best fail of each month. Here are our picks for August.

 It wasn't the gnarliest, but Finn takes this one home for almost holding onto that bike! Nice effort mate.
  • 44 4
 The dude (Finn) actually could ride a bike which can't be said for most others...
  • 66 1
 @Mugen: well the guy in #1 can clearly ride, i mean you don't try massive 3's if you can't ride haha
  • 8 5
 @JMBMTB: How do we know he was actually trying for massive 3's? /jokeendshere
  • 26 1
 Yep #6 has it for me. Dare I see it was a genuinely enjoyable crash? It didn't look like he gut hurt bad but it was impressive to behold. I rewatched it several times because his attempts at keeping it all together were great

 I say no. 3 just because I feel bad that dude will never see his front wheel again...

 @bmar: we found it in the bushes to the left side of the berm!

 @Mugen: I would say Finn has seen people ride, but has no idea how off his attempt is. Dude is fully nerping.

definitely the best video here.

 @JMBMTB: It was a massive 3, just with the problem that it was a 320 instead of a 360.

 #6 for the sheer number of shapes he cut before going down. Reminiscent of Aaron Gwin's one at Lenzerheide

 #6, the song choice alone is worthy of winning #houseofpain

 Should of included a disc scratch when he lost it though. lol

 I feel like the fails have been a bit tame lately. Maybe I'm getting desensitised to people crashing!

 @Pinkbike Why would you even post #4? wtf

 #6 because he tried to recover untill the end.
  • 5 0

 The "editing" of most of these reminded me not to take the professional videos for granted!
#6 was the best crash.
  • 4 0
 #6 gets my vote, but shout out to #7 for a rock solid case. He went down like a sack of flour.
  • 4 0
 #1 wasn't a fail in my opinion, he crashed while attempting a 360.

#6 wins it for me.
  • 2 1
 Feel bad for #3 sudden catastrophic equipment failure
#4 - I hope that hurt you idiotic wrestling shite
Clips vs flats debate with friend - clips would have saved #6, but would have made #1 far worse
