FF but at faster speeds...some of those were really brutal. Was rooting for the rider pulling off the run save @1:35 to jump back on his bike mid run....so close
Honestly. These vids are nuts! The riders are either seriously talented or complete loose frickin units who look like they drunk a bottle of grapa and sent it for a bet!
@TooManyBikess: Straight hucking meat, praying that skills may make a surprise entrance. These guys are riding way above their pay grade...props though!
@blacktea: It looks like lots of people were couped up for a year+ and this is their first time playing outside and they are just rediscovering their reflexes and skills. HAAH
It was more late crash. Most of the crash energy was already dissipated...helmet did its job, but yes it should have stayed on. He'll remember to buckle next time since he got lucky this time.
In my opinion too many kids think of facing the national championships without having adequate preparation (they are wrong in this even the sports clubs)
Too many Sunday Warriors !!! The problem in Italy (like many other places i guess) is that bike parks are replacing downhill tracks and these bikers think they're driving on the highways. Guy at 00:56 lost his helmet ... WTF!
In my Opionion most Bikeparks in the Alps (expect maybe the big French Parks) are catering more to Beginners and slightly Advanced Riders. You almost never find anything above S2 Level (on the Singeltrail Scale) and forget about finding anything above S3. Everything has to be flowy ..
You think Friday Fails is rough until you get reminded what crashes at race pace look like…! Ooft, some folks must have been hurting after some of those.
This angers me so much! First clip, fast step down section, corner and obvious crash zone with no ‘ B Zone’. If that bike had hit a young child spectating then it would be a total different matter. Organisers need to sort them f#%king selves out. There’s already been a spectator death here in the UK, that’s one too many. Note to spectators, even though the organiser may not give two f#%k5 about you, take care and don’t stand on the outside or corners or on the downside of the tracks.

Some pretty brave attempts flavored with an arse crack

(the track was fun though)
Che culo!
You had a great luck!
