 “Marty I don’t like this” - proceeds to mob full speed into the wood feature and launch herself lol.

 I heard "Party on Wayne" and I was stoked she was using that as her tagline to send. I guess "Marty I don't like this" matches the results more lol

 When you've rolled every jump up to that point, why not keep the strategy going?

 I was most impressed that someone managed to have the restraint to say "fudge" when smashing into a rock like that.

 @SwampThAAng: I am 90% sure this is on the Touchstone Loop in Bedford Reservation in Walton Hills Ohio. Last time I rode it all I could think about is this fail because it is an awkward turn.

 I always find it helpful to keep my head in the game by applying the front brake when descending on wet wood.

 Gotta love the 2nd (victim) 1st after intro...

 Rough day for that rider. Dude should get a prize for being featured twice in the same FF video. 0:21 and 2:41.

 00:50. Full front lock is the best strategy for steep roll overs.
  • 1 0
 @0:40 is he riding a 24"?
@2:43 damn tree snake jumped up and bit him
@3:30 FINALLY A SUMMIT FAIL

I will say, I don't have 1/4 the commitment some of these folks do holding onto the bars clear to the dirt, kudos for that ...

 1:30 Seems like there was a disaster waiting to happen either way with everyone standing around in the trail and bike laying there.

 With that many people standing in the middle of the most popular trail on the North Shore a crash was going to happen sooner or later

 @davecheng: naw that’s the wall ride on Flowster, right? Pretty easy, not sure if he was trying to slide it for style
  • 1 0
 @shortcuttomoncton: Ahh, okay I see it now. Weird 360 camera perspective. Interesting, I've never thought of that corner as a wall ride. I've always hit the gap to inside. Smile

 @davecheng: gap to wall ride to double, baby! Was better before they removed the first double last year, but still a smooth section
