Honestly after watching the whole ride… definitely not surprised

I have a life questioning crash once a week. 😅

I was at a flowy trail yesterday and my feet launched off my pedals so I sat on my back tire. That ride sacrificed future generations

I've never questioned mountain biking, only my ability. 😄

Looks like you were landing nose heavy in a lot of jumps, maybe you should slow the rebound a bit on that shock

“Shit”. “Holy fuck”. That’s when I know it’s not my day.

Area 51 is no joke. I watched videos and was thinking I was gonna go smash everything but the canyon gap. I live local and headed out one morning and was surprised by how friggin huge some of them are. VERY deceiving on camera. Props to you for hitting the big boy jumps. Ride safe, brother🤘🏼

This is why as an “upper intermediate” rider, I only do really tiny jumps. 1 out 5 of my jumps I’m accidentally in the wrong body position, or compressed my suspension too soon or too late, or slip off the pedals, etc.. on a small jump those mistakes are scary but manageable, on a bigger jumps it can end you for the season. Kudos to the dudes that nail it 5/5 times, but as a 4/5 times dude… forget it. Not worth it

Yeah, that's happened to us all when sending bigger or higher speed jumps. Popped too early. It's a simple science, but very time sensitive. 🤘🏽💀🤘🏽

oh man! when the front wheel goes down like that all you can do is brace for impact. Those are the scariest because you end up over the bars the fast way. This is why I wear a full face helmet.

Need to slow that rear shock rebound down and or speed up your front fork rebound. Crashes are part of the game. Props for posting it .

bro the go pro effect is insane, it seems like nothing when you see the "first person" view

As I sit here on my couch, old and disabled, watching this video, I wonder when mountain biking went from being a nature's escape from civilization to a daredevil stunt show, where you didn't really ride if you don't come back bloody.

spending some time on a dirt jumper will help immensely. you learn a lot of skills that translate to the big bike and gives you confidence

Hope ur doing all good bud That’s was a 8-10 crash right there You absolute legend 💪💪

Place looks sick! Glad you were able to ride out.

glad you will be ok . i screwed up last year and bruised a rib ; which wasn't a good feeling . back riding 2 days later ! ride on brother !

Mate you deserve way more than 80 subs! Your crazy!!!

sheesh, i’ve had that feeling like any mtb has too… When popping off of a jump, make sure you don’t just piggy hop your way through but actually a proper front to back bunny hop, that’ll help you from landing nosy on jumps. Check out the first season of How to bike from Pinkbike, it’s great to learn jumps too.

On this footage it´s obvious that you´re tending to land after a jump nose-heavy. I think this happens because of a slightly wrong body movement in front of the jump. Most of the time you got away with it, but on the last jump there was a lack of speed, too, so you cased it. But falling down is part of the game, and I´m glad to hear that nothing´s broken mate. :)

I sometimes think bikes with a lot of suspension travel are not suited for jumping. You can never forsee how it’s going to react on take-off

I'm a long time surfer and became a mountain biker a few years ago, i ride pretty aggressive and considerably big drops, had many crashes but came out fine and thought i was invincible, till last summer i crashed on a small jump that caused a severe ankle sprain with torn ligaments and 11 stitches in my calve, this crash had me thinking is it worth to risk my well being and my surfing, cause I'm planning to stay fully functional and a surfer for many more years. Others that i know had it worse than me- handicap and even death. The fire that i had in me is no longer there.

Ouch! Nice riding, though. I took one look at Area 51 and decided to descend on the fire road instead. 😄 I'm into the smaller easier jumps.

Glad you’re okay bud, can’t beat a bit of Body Armour, keep shredding man.

man i am glad ur fine every now and then work on your technique on small jumps and trails also check your fork tube for any damage ; )

Sorry, but it looked like you went in on those trails without some proper warm up sessions, enough skill or maybe you just pushed yourself beyond you limits because of the cameras👍. Wish you a speedy recovery and maaaybe try taking it a little calmer next time!

Seeing how you cased pretty much every jump on that trail the real question is if you should have hit that gap and I think you know the answer…..

Looks like u didn’t pull up enough; happens to the best of us luckily I’m a fat ass so I usually just put all my weight to the rear and hope for the best 😂 sending healing vibes ;)

Did you get bucked, or come up short or both? And at what point in the air did you realize it was going wrong? I don’t do jumps so honest question, do think you would try to bail if you were in this situation again?

Hope you are doing well. I had a crash in match and broke my arm, both ulna and radius were snapped. Still recovering and looking forward to go back on the bike.

Hes a little squirrelly out there and noticed the bad habit of dropping nose down first when landing. Its cool when you dial in your landing nice and buttery but if not your gonna need a lawyer and a medic for that case.

You can harness your emotions and put them to work for you, or else they go unchecked and they will work against you

just had a crash like this last week, but I went full OTB for me LMAO. Learn from your mistakes and press on, at least you didn't get hurt too bad

Pressure plays an extreme role...you may have the skills but for a sec you freeze and lose position and crash, you would've cleared smooth but you lost height on front... Stay strong and keep on riding bro, i would do the same but suddenly i have joint problems on my legs and cant solve the problems...Live your life and smash those trails bro!!!

Ouch. Hope you get back on that horse

good vid

Hey man thought I might see if you’re still doing mtb video’s or if you have completely quit… also what injuries did you get and are you okay?

Serious question, when someone asks are you alright? And you reply no, what’s the definition of alright. Like does no mean take me to the hospital? Or I broke something? Or is it like “no I just fell off my bike of course I’m not “alright”?

Had a really nasty crash yesterday too. Got away with scratches thankfully

bro forgot to hold the bars

Reckon it’s the bell, bad luck

Same here. Every ride could be my last lol

your rear low speed rebound might be too high/ rebound in general, causing your rear wheel to buck upwards a bit on all jumps

hey man- it doesn't look like your fork and shock are responding as they need to, you should probably open the comp, lower pressure to a 30% sag when you get on the bike, and set rebound accordingly

You were pinned and riding great... and then one miscalculation. Glad you walked away bc you guys were rippin fast. When the front wheel starts to dive, lightly squeeze the back break in the air and the drag will help to drop the back wheel and get you level for the landing. That was a big gap.

I really think you need to spend some time working on bike control. It seems you end up nose heavy off all the jumps where you really need to stay level in the air to be comfy. I would try riding a smaller bike like a dirt jumper or BMX and that really helped me learn. Manuals, bunny hops, and leaning to bunny hop/pull off of tight steep lips helped me feel super comfy in the air. When you stay level in the air, even if you case or get sideways, it is almost always better than coming in nose heavy. I had a t-8 compression fracture in my spine from staying too back heavy off the lip which caused me to go nose heavy off the jump. I realized only after a long break from riding that I always jumped like this. I would preload the rear suspension too hard and always get kicked foward a little even if I was clearing the jumps fine and always landing fine too. But once I was traumatized by the spinal injury I realized just how much I was doing this and now I feel super comfy on the bike. Hitting a jump should FEEL no different from a massive assisted bunny hop. I think that ideally you should not be rotating forward as you travel through the air. One way I got rid of that habit was just by practicing really strict and level bunny hops on flat ground. Idk I said a whole lot of gibberish and none of this prolly makes much sense but I know just how terrifying a bad crash like that can be as I had one myself and I do not want that to happen to anyone else if I can prevent it😂

Kind of best case scenario , no pun intended

get well soon bro

Yeah those lool like some pretty technical trails. Gotta be aware of what you are riding for sure. 😮

Hope you did t break anything or end up too hurt , I think your lucky to not have gone OTB coulda been a lot worse

Goddamn that slow motion in the end …. That looked nasty! End of the day crash?

troy lee pants on and jumping nose heavy... jerry activities

What bike are u on? Hopefully u were ok. Ride on !

Ma boy, I broke my toe cause I slipped of a pedal and put my foot to the ground today.

Beginner type of skills ,combined with a big squishy bike, results in riders convincing themselves that they know how to ride, when by any serious measure, they do not. Learn to hop, well. That will build the skill, muscle and reflexes to be able to make a fast correction to get the front end back up where it should be while in the air, when you find yourself in an endo position. And, remember, with a hardtail, bucking is far less common. In skating, you aren’t a skater unless you can ollie and in MTB and BMX, you aren’t a real rider unless you can hop. It’s the basis of nearly everything, beyond beginner-level riding. Anyway, respect for taking a scary wreck. Salute! 👍

im only 10 and i have had a couple little ones but that i havent got there YET...

Buddy is skipping all the proper bits and landing nose on every jump. Not suprised on the thumb nail

Yo was this in italy? i know a trail called area 51 where i go biking in italy

Mt biking is not a young man’s game. CRASHING is a young man’s game. As I push into my 50s I’ll never stop riding, but I have stoped jumping. Rib me if you want, but you’ll get here too, someday. I hope the kid didn’t break anything too serious.

On a full suspension bike and loose shoes. I hope you are ok.

Nose heavy it happens to all of us

the bike made the landing no problem😋

It's because you still have the bell

They need a Gopro that captures fear.

been there a few times and still 40 some years later I ride.

did you bottom that fork out?

1:24 yeoooo

gnarly you fucking ait the handle bars hard to watch cuz its so relatible

take it easy

You have poor jumping tehniaue,that s why You literally go nose dive every jump Put the rebound shock slower and more air in tyres

Imo you should have noticed the signs it looks like that whole time you were being really sketchy, casing and kept almost crashing the best thing g to do when you see those signs is know your limits for the day

look that sucks but it was super minor haha

it looked like you were really tired at that moment and forgot how to jump properly, nice try tho :D

You ride sketchy asf dude no wonder 😅

You’re handlebars setup and jump technique has me questioning why you were there in the first place

Damn

Does there HAVE to be a jump every 100 ft? When I rode more there was like An jump...for the day. How many times u really want to throw the dice.

Ouch! Your face alright?

When we try to violate the laws of gravity and physics, the only question is..."What insurance do you have to cover this?" LOL

Plan on doing this again because you're reinforcing it by watching it thinking it and being afraid over and over again by cementing the memory in your mind of what you did wrong . ...Not to mention infecting other people with your fear. Erase your video and start posting only your best moments and the best things you've done and that's who you will become again. (Real simple, live in your negative past like a scared soul, or constantly Embrace what you do that is great and your best .)

Most of bike crash is bad jumpin' keep ypur wheel dwon the road

yep if you're going to do motorcross things, should probably suit up for it. Many don't even wear gloves. Stupid is as stupid does.

What exactly is so appealing about this extremely painful hobby?

😂

I hope you are ok . No offense but it looked like you were in way over your head on that trail .

Im sorry for your crush mate, here take my sub 🫂

Knar

Judging from the noises you make as you ride you re pushing yourself to far to fast to keep up with your friends. Go at your own pace man. We all learn on different levels

Those aren’t even beginner jumps 🤣

I love MTB and the thought of MTB but whenever I get into a crash it’s a “why the fuck am I doing this” crash after the adrenaline dump fades. 😅 I’m getting too old to break my collarbone. I’ll stick to road and gravel cycling for now and live vicariously through sick MTB trail vids. 😂

I had a crash not too long ago, maybe last week or something but it was a 16-18ft gap on a slope so it also had a 5 foot drop, I landed it but fell another 25-30ft down the mountain side. All I got was a concussion believe me worse crashes have happened you’ll be fine🤙 The trail wasn’t purpose built by the way it was built just off to the side of a hiker trail

You fell of in the best possible place coulda been allot worse

man you have to stop pushing into your jumps. every single one was out of control nose dives

you don't have great form when jumping

Wasted

After my second broken bones injury being in bed for many weeks and not able to do many things like take a normal shower, having the worst pain i have ever had then you gonna start thinking about how much u win doing mtb and how much u can lose.
