Mountain Bike Tips: Crashing

[lucifuge1968]

try that clipped in n ROFL

[15willo]

This only happens on a cannendale lefty lol

[samvegg]

O yeah, the first thing I think of when I crash is to tuck and roll, not "HOLY SHIT!"

[stellamehla]

'Cause when you ride a Cannondale, you'll need to know how to survive alot of crashes.

[KINGL3WI]

Now do that of a 40ft drop and lets see what happens.

[mdziwuls]

not ever ones gunna have nice grassy area to roll like that. if i tried tha td roll into rocks and spiny bushes

[greenwolf6767]

lol i just wrecked yesterday and got some pretty bad cuts but he is kinda right one tip forgotten stay loose i wrecked jumping the other day clipped a tree stayed loose and let my body do what it was gonna do and i got right back up and jumped it about 13 more times

[ctcomebacker]

I fell off a 10 foot drop , landed on my neck .... torn muscles..broke my cartridges and bone fragments. i suffer from severe headaches now and can't move as well as before. this happen due to careless preparation on my part and not slowing down on an obstacle that i saw first the first time. i was just going too fast . I will get back on a bike as soon as I get better,,, but I will slow down a bit.

[greenwolf6767]

@ctcomebacker damn that sucks man i feel it for ya dude you are in my prayers

[chicotel09]

i broke my humerus, no it wasnt funny. i wish i broke my collar bone

[dannmclaughlin]

haha six weeks my ass im 14 and broke my clavical 8 weeks ago and im only just allowed back on my bike... 

[CaptainCarthex]

@dannmclaughlin 8 weeks isn't that much longer than 6 weeks honestly.

[colallo]

[thefamilynerd09]

[jonathan1636]

@thefamilynerd09

[Ch3ls3yxxSubs]

[DASNOWMAN888]

So If Im At A High Speed And Endo Flip Over The Bars Break My Back And Get Impalied In My Back Im Supposed To Go SuperMan In 6 Seconds? lol

[SLRsnake]

generally all my body parts are flailing they last like 2 seconds im not gonna remember to tuck

[xkakashix12]

@SLRsnake after a few crashes, you will instinctively tuck...for these things, we have to learn the hard way

[126mx]

lol y u outa breath dude?



[ElAken123]

Face plantt horrible tip

[KernowLadz]

I tucked and rolled off a drop off.

[loz771]

i liked this just because of the title lol

[funkaphiliac30]

knob



[zman17ify]

how bout you not crash

[1987kids]

@zman17ify if you're not crashing then you're not progressing or pushing yourself, wait do you even ride? PIN IT TO WIN IT

[0v3rd0seh]

I'm normally flying through the air like superman by the time I realise i've crashed :(

[Ruditoman]

@0v3rd0seh

hahaha sooo true!!! It always happens to me like this or in a way that bike goes all the way with me that is not possible to roll

[chainlinkdreams]

great tip, if you're pussy-footin down a hill, If you're ridin your heart out then good luck trying to do all that!!

[actionsports111]

I tucked and rolled today... right into a tree.

[oldescot]

Doug, I agree with you in every way about this. I crashed April when (I have to admit, I was going to fast) I ran into a tree while trying to make a sharp turn. My handlebars hit first, and did a mid-air ass-over-tea-kettle movement before landing on the ground. My arms were not extended, and my body transferred the energy of the impact into the ground. I was ok, but my MTB's handlebars were bent out of proportion.

Great tip!

[Jacob8013]

what if your a more experienced mountain biker and you have clip in pedals? like me and im 13?

[caballoalizeero]

hey this is a god tip, ill take on care nex time i crash, for not doing this, ive broken my shoulder twice

[UltimateTechGuru]

Good tip! I recently had gone for a endurance rally on my mobike, crashed twice on arm first, like he displayed & am still recovering & recuperating with the pain it is giving out! Should have seen this video first, well never the late. Wont repeat this mistake anymore!

[mo5866]

I crashed and Killed myself twice, just wish I'd seen this earlier.

[coffeycake96]

canandal bikes suck weener 

[franticey]

yes it's great telling us how to fall of a bike when the crash is staged but what if theres a big drop to the side of you. do you still roll of the mountain :P

[anthrax13aldous]

I'm not afraid to crash anymore! XD

[mteir23]

i broke my arm recentely and had for a bloody month so boring i swear feels so funny when u get cast off like a floppy arm

[phistoff]

try doing that at 100 m/h like i do every day of the week 24/8 bitch

[dangilliland]

Great Advice: Tuck and Roll = 6 seconds vs. brace and break bones = 6 weeks

[Rhinoch8]

Lol i remembered i falled down my bike and rolled 20 yard away. There were big roots on the trail, and the terrain was very steep

[johndeerebuck]

id rather just fall how the wind takes me, lol

[teamwhitebread2]

I got a broken clavicle....8 weeks for me

[JoetheFreestlyee]

@teamwhitebread2 ah what a cunt he only said 6 weeks in the video. booo!!!

[Kheops63]

Easy to do at low speed when you see the fall coming.....much more difficult when your rear wheel rebound on a rock at 60 km/h....you only need to practise, more and more...

[phyrad]

Well, you probably shouldn't start riding at 60 km/h as a beginner, should you?

[Kheops63]

No nobody shouldn't but sometimes....you are above your limits! and then It hurts......I started MTB in 1992 and 3 years ago, a big crash calmed me down for a long time....

[caedmonsvengance]

haha, it looks like he really hurt himself.

[frudrunner]

these comments are ridiculous, of course you don't have absolute control in a crash, and it happens very fast; this is why the roll needs to second nature; this is by no means bad advice (from a dorky, too confident guy, albeit)

[teratino]

yeah but this was intentional crash. in real life you're not gonna fall like that, you'll be probably on some rock or something so you won't be able to roll

[takumifuae86]

how do u know if u gonna crash on mountains,because u r going really fast

[pooflingnchimp]

I'll try to keep that in mind next time I come to a complete stop, put my right foot down, and then crash.

[eatspaste]

yeah, it's true that rolling into a tree can help your ass meet the back of your head, but it's still good advice when possible, the instinct is to put your hands out and it's not a good thing.

[v0lt35v]

theres a tip for crashing!?!? heres my tip. dont crash!

[Ekcoj94]

@v0lt35v If you dont push your limits you wont crash, and you wont get any better..

But ye the comment was kinda funny ^^

[ICarlosSpiceyWeinerI]

@v0lt35v Pfff smart ass

[HRS8509]

cannondale. feel it! wtf? if the ground beside the trail isn´t flat and smooth you could stay for the rest of your life in a wheelchair. feel this, cannondale??????

[maddogmudslinger]

ya lolz jest try not to wreak an ride what u know the trail i dont ride a tril hard till i know it

[m3rcuryd3ath]

dont crash?

[yorkshirelad2]

Lol. Its all good at 3mph u, do that at 25 wi rocks n trees flyin past u !

[willejp]

thats the stupidest bike vid i have ever seen in my life :L

[thesa2388]

Its a good tip , but lets face it where we ride there are trees and all u dond just choose the spot be realistic .

[thesa2388]

it's good to see the perseverance to get to do it . Im the same way i get to it even if i lose some blood

[jokerdude49]

good roal  but if ur going fast it is not going to help to mutch

[simplybmg]

esta bien este consejo para caidas,pero claro a la ora de caer tu n saves komo te puedes llegar a caer si espalda de lao o sales volando de la bici

normalmente al tener kaida n daria tiempo en llegar a pensar en aguantar bien la bici i protejerte bien

[thesa2388]

eso si jajajaja

[chopsuey202]

crashing tip 101 for retards if u don't want to use this retarded method dont fall off your bike KEEP RIDING and dont stop tilll ur at the end of ur trail and that concludes crashing tip 101 for retards.

[thesa2388]

ur r probaly the stuoidiest person ever comenting here if u hae not fallen u have not done anything u idiot!

[thestig576]

Here is a tip for crashing. DON'T FALL OFF!!!!!!!

[ZMC888]

As any motorcycle rider will tell you coming off aint a biggie, it's what you hit after that which can ruin your day! He tucked and rolled like a pro, unfortunately into the path of an oncoming semi!

[LiquidShell77]

lol

[11bella19]

hehe neat

can you two pls stop arguing?? Thanks! 7x

[thetttttttttttt]

let's face it, if you hit a head sized rock your f*cked

[eatTOEnails]

ur crash was well funny hahah

u dont have time to think when you crash

heey i have a tip DONT CRASH!!

[lewgo99]

u dont have time to think to do that u autamaticlly think put ure arm out

[manovleedz]

u dont even think about doing it its just a reaction

[M6dEEp]

I had a *potentially* bad crash last month, but i tucked and rolled and it saved me from a broken collar bone, its something that's actually pretty automatic if you have any sort of athleticism. however, i wouldn't recommend doing it if you don't have a full face, you could clonk your head on a good sized rock and end up like special tim.

[RandomHero565]

i love the begginin crash, it was a lil army role

[sesarathor]

The begining crash was so cheesy

[nicholas112588]

I agree with the "arms straight out and break your colar bone idea", but sometimes things come WAY too fast, and you can't even react to them. I found that out just over 2 weeks ago :'(

[Darkelement101]

dude ive hit 65km/h on a down hill trail..doent work...iv never crashed at high speed only low speed because at high speed ur more cosintrated, at low speed you dont give a shit and crash ...

[carfreak35041]

Um I'm a noob to mountain biking and all, but wouldn't that not help very much when someone is doing a downhill run at like 30 mph?

[tittytwister5251]

hows about u dont crash in the first place? common sence ppl

[NotnaRed]

Try to do this at 25mph in the forest....it doesn't work....

I´m too lucky, that i'm licing right now...

[pigcow1]

he says to keep your arms in but his arms are way out

[ckazz90]

Do u like to crash Doug?

I guess u already fell on ur faceXD

[chocolateblnt]

If you ride "Cannonbail" or work in the bike industry you know this vid should come with the owner's manual. Garbage bikes!

[vielle77]

sometime you crash so quick that you do not even have 1 second to do this, you should just put your body hard by your muscles, and you wont feel pain, thats what I do.

[omgwtfmd]

this guy is pathetic

[cajus22]

THat "crash" in hte beginning looked too fake...

[enensis]

DUCK AND COVER

[TomMSTie]

My problem is, I'm too busy thinking "AAAHHH!" To tuck and roll. I'm still new at this Mountain BIking Stuff. I've got a Specialized Rockhard Comp Disc, BTW.

[bowtech2907]

haha yeah i have to agree with you on that one

[dhlover88]

his crash at the beginning was really funny. lol

[AddinGaroth]

well, lots of times you dont even know that you are gonna crash, like, just about 1 hour ago i crashed, slid like 5 feet and my arm is screwed up. haha i didn't even know what happened. good idea . . . to roll . . . kinda a no brainer . . . but

[metalfreak13]

hahahahahaha...i love his fake crash,at the beginning...

lol

[olitshaw]

ye this is all good if your not clipped in to your pedals

[Timmay0081]

damn, too bad i didn't see this video BEFORE i snapped my arm and fractured my cheek bone. :(

[chusval]

Dios mío. Vaya pedazo de chorrada. Mira que he visto vídeos malos, pero este... Que intente hacer esa misma maniobra sobre un buen montón de pedruscos y luego me cuenta si pone o no pone las manos antes que la espalda.

[jumafre]

its just obvious to do that man. this guy is not a good teacher.. bad vid. bro

[supidusernames]

nice, i practiced it, and it doesnt really even hurt

[denalidav]

nicely displayed Doug, thanks for the beta!

[josubadiola]

Doug Dalton the genius of cannondale!

Feel it
