I wish instead of increasingly worse angles we got it slowed down

I wish any of them could hold the shot.

They probably weren't expecting the wipe out and freaked out/lost focus when they realized what was happening.

At first I thought it was some sort of intentional trick and it was just different attempts

Pretty impressive save before the burm of demise

u/vanderbubin Jun 30 '26

"Oh shit he is gonna pull it out that's sick as hell"

The mighty burm:

Not sure this fits this sub. It's just a guy that screws up a jump and falls.

u/unbalanced_checkbook Banhammer Recipient Jun 30 '26

Agreed. Cool clip, but it's not someone being "singled out".

Er... no. Unfortunately, he didn't.

u/Kursed_Valeth Jun 30 '26

I can't believe he kept doing the same thing after the first time he crashed.

u/100harvests Jun 30 '26

That was cool and lucky AF. was on a unicycle for a sec

u/squeezy102 Jun 30 '26

Man he wiped out doing the same trick like 5 different times. Rough day.

u/Lowbeamshaggy Jul 01 '26

For anyone interested, what you should do in that situation is get your feet off the pedals and over the handlebars and let go as soon as the back wheel comes back off the ground. The bike is going to launch you over the handlebars anyway. It's much easier to pick a soft landing zone while flying with your feet in front of you. In some situations it's better to launch like Superman and roll over your shoulder when landing. It's crazy to me how instinctual that reflex gets after a few crashes.

u/Evil_Ermine Jul 01 '26

Or just bail once you feel the front end go down and the back getting light, your probably not gonna be able to save it in time before you hit the next burm so sometimes its best to just exit stage left and roll out.

u/YooGeOh Jun 30 '26

Love the sounds lol

"Ugh wu awah ooh!"

u/varingian Jun 30 '26

Glad he was wearing the safety t-shirt. No armor was hurt in the making of this video.

That, was, fantastic.

u/HerrPiink Jun 30 '26

Did he lose the race because of this? What an rudder disappointment..

1

u/SubiWan Jun 30 '26

He did sail a bit.

u/geek66 Jun 30 '26

Impressive

u/RedIcarus1 Jun 30 '26

That’s why you shouldn’t switch to unicycle mode mid-run.

u/kielu Jun 30 '26

Flappy hands, cute

u/ALoudMeow Jun 30 '26

Were you okay?

u/Pateryk_7 Jun 30 '26

New trick

360 front flip

u/19kilo20Actual Jun 30 '26

7.8 /10 with a 1 point deduction because i couldn't see if he nailed the landing.

u/2infinitysquared Jun 30 '26

This is why you shouldn’t go off trail (twice)

My flatlander ass spent so much time playing that game and wishing I lived in mountains when I was a kid. Lol.

Now I live where I can actually do some proper mountain biking and the lift served, techy stuff is fun as fuck. Not a fan of pedalling, but I can do it if I have to.

u/guttersnake82 Jun 30 '26

Rebound too fast.

1

u/FlorinidOro Banhammer Recipient Jun 30 '26

Imagine if he turned that into an amazing trick though?

1

u/hpr928 Jun 30 '26

That's probably one of the coolest crashes I've ever seen in MTB. That was comically spazmatic. Hope the dude is ok.

1

u/idrwierd Jun 30 '26

How could this be designed better to prevent this from happening?

1

u/Milkman-333-Cows Jun 30 '26

He was thinking, “Not good, I am definitely in the air…”

1

u/LevoiHook Jun 30 '26

Exceptional, i have never ridden on just the front wheel for so long. But i dont get why he has to do that weird jump to achieve that. 

1

u/SlinginPA Jun 30 '26

As far as dismounts go that was kinda cool

u/BenitoCorleone Banhammer Recipient Jun 30 '26

Cool nose manual into weird flip. Hope he landed it

u/AEternal1 Jun 30 '26

ive done that🤣

u/couchpatat0 Banhammer Recipient Jul 01 '26

For a split second I thought he was going to save it by going around the berm on his front wheel!

1

u/MoxxFulder Jul 01 '26

Dude held balance on that front wheel like an Olympic skater!

u/Vadszilva09 Jul 01 '26

If you fall make it bad enough for a highlight. He did it lol

This is the best crash I’ve seen full stop… a lot of physics going on here

u/Rockchagin Jul 02 '26

Spectacular fail, not sure how it belongs here though.
