There I was hoping this was going to be a Golden Age of Hip Hop thread.
The big dawg at 8.20 was very lucky indeed.

I'm getting on in years so wheels are generally in contact with the ground. Friday Fails is a bit of an institution in our house & that 10 min special was no different.

I get a weird sensation down my back & legs watching some of the bigger hits, like I'm being prepared for an impact myself. Odd, as I've never been able to jump.

That just confirms my suspicions that jumps are dangerous and not for me 🤣

Step up at 1:30 probably rates as my least favourite. But yeah, 8:20 no full face 😱

Glad it's not only me. I received a really badly broken spine from 13 mph to zero when a car turned across me on my road bike. No damage to the fragile road bike, but my back split in half due to decelleration forces - like an old 'lap belt' injury in cars according to the surgeon. The 4 broken ribs were from the landing.

I don't like watching them generally, not good for your confidence if you do want to hit something. And yet I find myself watching and wincing....
Mate of mine is a very talented rider and says he never watches them for exactly that reason

kinda highlights why land owners bulldoze jumps and why every time I went to Rowney Warren there was always an ambulance parked.

I don't do jumps. Friday Fails just confirms why.
