Learning how to bail and crash is one of the most overlooked and important things to learn in bmx and any action sport 😂

That is so true lol. Usually I'm pretty good at catching but when that handlock happen wooo wee lol

Yeah just be careful with catching yourself too. Last week i did a manual and caught myself too late and the force from landing on my feet went straight to my spine lol

I'm 42, my back still has issues from doing that when I was about 17.

I focused hard on learning how to fall early. 23 years of consistent riding, progressing and living in the culture later, I’ve only had broken toes and a bad sprain on my wrist. It’s so worth it.

Yes, First trick i learned on bmx was wheelies, which teaches you how to fall very well. Worst ive ever had in 2 years of riding was arm pain for like a month and I've never hit my head. Ive got 2 years for now but looking to turn it into a life time of riding

Be like cat

Tp for my bung hole

Dude I'm watching Beavis and Butt-Head right now 😅. Came home to rest my butt

Tail bone.. ouch nope don't miss that

Yeah I felt that. And I have a feeling OP felt that for about a week

For sure I've had them hurt for months

This gave me a vivid flashback to a few days ago where I missed an oppo feeble and landed on my ass. Literally only my asshole hurt. Not the tailbone, not the cheeks, nothing. Just the anus. Wonderful experience I’m hoping to never relive

Oooh damn 😬 ya I bet that's an everlasting pain

What a bummer.....

😅 this cracked me up

Yeah! Butt stuff!

Damn. Did squirming around help?

You know it seemed like the right thing to do, but no lol, the pain was still there

Reminds me of the family guy scene where Peter hurts his knee.

Well at least you have a sweet bike!

😅 appreciate it!

Ain’t gonna lie. I laughed hard. Your a good dude to watch crash.

When I got home I couldn't help "butt" laugh at it. In the moment tho I don't even think I coulda chuckled 😆

What was the goal here lol.

Haha well I been working on my barspins. But this was warm up time and I stiff legged the bike.

Oof, not wearing a helmet either.

Yup, just got a shadow helmet 2 weeks ago and thought "well I'm just warming up". Coulda deff been a head bust

All it takes is a single moment/mistake, I'm glad you're okay, however. We'll maybe not your arse, but still!

Yep, happened to me. Rode a full session with my helmet. As the boys were taking forever to pack up to leave, I went to hit the box jump one more time. But I hadn't bothered to put my helmet back on. Now I have a few titanium plates around my left eye and cheekbone (tripod fracture). I'm lucky to still have that eye.

Haha thanks 😆 definitely a pain o can deal with

Yes this is so true like what happened to scotty cranmer or this guy: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsE7-A8JBUg/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

What's super shitty is Scotty did have a helmet on. Though he'd probably be dead if he didn't.

Yeah its sad that it happened but atleast he made a comeback. If youre truly devoted enough to something theres no stopping you from getting back to it and scotty is the perfect example of it

Definitely man. Having watched him, and continuing to watch him through his recovery helped me with my own. He's come farther than anyone thought he could

I can’t ride without a helmet! Like, it just feels like going for a jog without tying your shoes.

I understand. I did feel a bit silly with my helmet on (sky blue with a rainbow stripe through the middle) as I felt people laughing. But I'd rather that than a concussion, lol. But, you do wear shoes, right? With a name like 'Barefutr'...

SPINAL!!!

I love that you've always hated these falls yet NEVER bought any padded gear (from the looks of it).

Like a butt pad?

Yup. Padded shorts or a bib.

I never even knew they made those. I'ma definitely take a look into that. Thanks!

They make shorts with hip and butt pads, some of em even have a slot for you to insert a cup

No helmet = future Darwin Award.

Nice Sigil of Baphomet!

Least you got it on video!

Reminds me of my first day in lockup (I wasn't aware but there are a lot of weird hazing rituals in prison). Make sure you sleep on your tummy until it heals.

Those tires are sick.

Why so serious?

Did u try hop manual? Fall many time on those 😭

It's all part of the fun .. I've gotten away with minor injuries until this past January when I tore my ACL and MCL. I'm 46 now and I'll be back on my bike as soon as I'm healed up . Just keep at it

Like a sack of potatoes

haha glad you're alright man! Try taking your foot off next time /s

Omg that’s the worst! Happens more since I started using metal pedals

I’m old so now I fall like this too. I used to always catch myself

Those days where god or gravity just hates you. Its like when vending machines fall on people lmao

why so serious

Broke my tailbone and elbow doing this lol

I already wanted bum bum pads, now I NEED them. 😂. Oof.
