Hey so I have been wanting to do a crash compilation for a while. I feel like the Mt bike industry sometimes tends to take things to seriously. Crashes happen all the time in Mt Biking. It is a part of getting better or knowing your own limits. That being said I was not seriously hurt in any of the crashes. The worst crash I had was not on video, on a small jump before wearing protective gear. tore up my elbow had to get 3 double stitches(it was deep). So go ahead laugh at me and enjoy the video. Let me know about your worst crash below or link a video. Cheers and Keep Mtbing

    Nice compilation.
    A lot of your crashes seem to be caused by sliding out. Are you running your tyre pressures too high?
