I am so glad to see this type of video tutorial. I often watch the fails-and-bails videos and think, while they are somewhat entertaining, it would be much more useful to discuss what went wrong and how it might have been avoided or fixed. Thank you for putting this out.
One thing I recommend as someone who has struggled with this is if you are stiff on big jumps try doing a table or whip to keep you loose and prepared to react
This was excellent Neil, please continue with this series. Your explanation and insights are very valuable, and this video helped me understand why I had a small crash yesterday, and how to avoid it in the future, so I will be more confident next time I ride that section, instead of being on edge.
Plz plz keep solving the crazy puzzles, slowly we will learn how not to crash as well. Your channel is amazing, it gives us a lot of insights into mtb. Your teaching methods are very simple and easy to grasp.
i had something like it on my bmx, didnt tighten the front wheel enough and as i was heading to the jumps i bunnyhopped up a curb at around 15mph, wheel popped out, fork hit the ground and i went otb. landed on my face knocking myself out and disclocating my jaw, shoulder, and aggravating a previous rib injury. all i remember is flying through the air then waking up in hospital 😂😂 always religiously check my wheels now
Nice! This is an amazing addition to the channel! I think it should be a regular thing. “Learn from the mistakes of others. You won’t life long enough to make them all yourself.” Watching the fails with a lesson at the end of it is the best education I’ve had watching gmbn.
After several headers and dumb mistakes on my Canyon I took up mountain unicycling and haven't had a header since. That said, I have not been riding my bicycle so a bit concerned to take on the Dragons back this weekend. I appreciate the tips.
Yes please more like this. I am just learning and do not have good skills yet. Had a bad crash in July my leg could take 8 months to heal. Love seeing these how to videos but they make it seem so easy but makes you want to learn. Great chanel thanks guys
I would love to see more "stop crashing" tips for beginners! Really ready to stop being at the mercy of gravity!! 😁 It would be extra helpful if you did a series of MTB Beginner's workshop videos. I live in a remote area that has a well-maintained MTB park, but no one here does basics training. My husband & I are in our 50s, & two months ago we took up MTB as a new adventure. Since we want this to be a sustainable hobby, we won't be doing anything super crazy, but we would love to have awesome basic skills to enjoy green & blue trails.
Dude about time. Man how many crashes you guys air and never explain why they wiped out. This should be good content that I can take on the trail. Thanks in advance.
great vid! Please do continue with this series. Problems I've had ... washing out front wheel on flat loose turns (ended up with compartment syndrome and a broken thumb) and also washing out in sketchy berms
Please do continue these series. You shared handful of nice crash videos on twitter too. It would be awesome to have your opinion on what went wrong there.
Really helpful video. We can all learn by others mistakes and our own, but to have a experienced pro like Neil analyse with slow motion video....can't get better than that! Great video!!
It would be great if you could continue with these advice/tips videos Neil, we've all been there (and occasionally broke something) but even with experience it's good to have advice and sometimes the most obvious solution can't be seen until someone else shows or advises you. Great video as always 👍🤘👊
No mention of the infamous dead sailor? I know Blake covered it in his jumping tutorial, but a little more information on how to avoid or even react whilst in the air would be much appreciated! Great video nonetheless, hope there will be more!
This video should really be titled: “GMBN No-Crash Course”! I’m watching the video nodding my head, remembering each of the times I’ve crashed like that over my riding career.
Yes, I agree, please continue this series. I had a question about a crash I had that resulted in broken finger and broken wrist this year. I was on a down hill run on coming out of a berm that curved left and my front wheel quickly folded to the left after exiting and I went over the bars. My son said it was pretty dusty. Any suggestions as I really wasn't going as fast as I usually do and it was a surprise to me. thanks much Neil!

Very useful video. Keep em coming. Definitely would make for a good series.
Really useful, helpful Information from you guys as always

Yes, that's a very good use of all fails sent to GMBN ;)
PLEASE CONTINUE ON WITH THIS CRASH COURES
Yes. More more

Crash Scene Investigation? 🤔
@@gmbn right in the concept guys 👌
More of this yes!

I just learned how to bunnyhop I’m so happy !!👌🏻😀😀😅
Mohamed Fayaz good job!
Awesome! It's a valuable skill to have out on the trail!
Excellent!
It's refreshing to see this original video idea. Neil displays excellent empathy
Stop this now. You are doing a great disservice to those of us who enjoy watching the crash videos. What we need is more crashes, not less.
I was referred to these videos by an earlier comment that I made to GMBN and it WAS well WORTH watching these videos! Thanks, GMBN!!
This was excellent Neil, please continue with this series. Your explanation and insights are very valuable, and this video helped me understand why I had a small crash yesterday, and how to avoid it in the future, so I will be more confident next time I ride that section, instead of being on edge.
I watch crash videos all the time and try to work out what went wrong. Great to have an expert view on this.
Best GMBN video I’ve seen yet. Content was great but so was the videography and music. I’d love to see this turn into a series.
More of this please Neil. More skills....equals less spills!
Plz plz keep solving the crazy puzzles, slowly we will learn how not to crash as well.
Your channel is amazing, it gives us a lot of insights into mtb.
Your teaching methods are very simple and easy to grasp.
Infinitely better than just another fails vid. Plenty of those already, thanks.
4:13 this has to be one of the worst ways to crash, unexpected just cruising along then something snatches the bike under you BAM!💥
i had something like it on my bmx, didnt tighten the front wheel enough and as i was heading to the jumps i bunnyhopped up a curb at around 15mph, wheel popped out, fork hit the ground and i went otb. landed on my face knocking myself out and disclocating my jaw, shoulder, and aggravating a previous rib injury. all i remember is flying through the air then waking up in hospital 😂😂 always religiously check my wheels now
@@thegreatcactus4922 hope you bought a helmet after that
yay work break... good advice... not that i intend on crashing again but it is most likely gonna happen
Thank you Neil. Please do more of these crash course videos. Learned what I was doing wrong on drops.
I have definitely learned something from this video. More of this please!
This series might be the best videos you do. Do many more. Great way to teach.
Yes please more videos on avoiding or correcting mistakes! Thanks.
Dissecting the fails and bails, great shout!!!
Yep, more of this would be good.
(After a crash) “Now I have a reason to get that new helmet I’ve been wanting!”
Been waiting for these crash investigation videos for years, keep them coming!
Didn’t really know what to expect from the title, but this was absolutely, absolutely phenomenal. Definitely continue Don!
Nice! This is an amazing addition to the channel! I think it should be a regular thing. “Learn from the mistakes of others. You won’t life long enough to make them all yourself.” Watching the fails with a lesson at the end of it is the best education I’ve had watching gmbn.
This is great please make this a series. Also liked seeing you crash more of a "we all crash"
Yes please, more of this. I am trying to progress my skills and the more I can learn from the mistakes of others, the better.
At last! Crashes + case studies! please continue 🤘
Yes please more crash analysis. Great job.
This would be a great series! Please make more!
I think this is a great idea for a series. Maybe one day I'll stop crashing so much. :)
Whew - so I'm not the only one?
Like everyone has said. Please continue this series. It's really helpful.
After several headers and dumb mistakes on my Canyon I took up mountain unicycling and haven't had a header since. That said, I have not been riding my bicycle so a bit concerned to take on the Dragons back this weekend. I appreciate the tips.
very informative Neil .. would very much apprectiate u and rest of GMBN to continue with these tutorial videos
Yes please more like this. I am just learning and do not have good skills yet. Had a bad crash in July my leg could take 8 months to heal. Love seeing these how to videos but they make it seem so easy but makes you want to learn. Great chanel thanks guys
Great concept. I develop bad habits and lazy techniques. This show reminds me of how something should be done correctly.
Nice job Neil prefer that style of coaching video as I'm sure most of us can relate to these crashes👍👍😀😀

Love this vid. Great coaching tips too. Please post more as they'll save a few bikes and limbs!
Yes Please! Im getting too old to keep hurting myself!!!
Dude about time. Man how many crashes you guys air and never explain why they wiped out. This should be good content that I can take on the trail. Thanks in advance.
Great idea! Please continue this series!
Great video content. Bravo. Yes, fun seeing wipeouts. but knowing how it could be avoided is golden.
Great vid, like the style of explaining exactly what's gone wrong and how to fix it, you do make it look too easy though! :-)
Useful tips thanks Neil definitely keep these coming
Long Live GMBN! Helpful as always.
🤘👊
Fantastic video. Thank you Neil. I try my best to show videos like this to my kids so they don't have to learn like I did. The hard way :)
Yep, def think it would be a great series, even incorporated into the DSS?
great vid! Please do continue with this series.
Problems I've had ... washing out front wheel on flat loose turns (ended up with compartment syndrome and a broken thumb) and also washing out in sketchy berms
I have to show this to my brother.
SAME
Thanks Neil, more of these would be great. You could also just follow me around with a camera, I crash a lot!
More of this type of video, please.👍
Please do continue these series. You shared handful of nice crash videos on twitter too. It would be awesome to have your opinion on what went wrong there.
Keep up this series! I think it’ll be quite useful especially after watching my brother crashing last weekend!
Really helpful video. We can all learn by others mistakes and our own, but to have a experienced pro like Neil analyse with slow motion video....can't get better than that! Great video!!
Neil ‘s expertise shinning through, great video with good advice.
Definitely continue 👌
Great video, thanks Neil, really useful. More of these (and coaching vids in general) please.
Awesome idea for short series! Love it!
More please. Keep it coming.
It would be great if you could continue with these advice/tips videos Neil, we've all been there (and occasionally broke something) but even with experience it's good to have advice and sometimes the most obvious solution can't be seen until someone else shows or advises you. Great video as always 👍🤘👊
Great idea! Makes the crash videos become learning video. Awesome!!!!
Top video keep them up i like the brake down of each one then showing the right way to go.
Please continue! Thanks!
Really like the analysis, more please!
Yep, great tips on what not to do and what you should do. Keep it up.
Yes please, more videos like this 🙏
Please keep doing this series
most important series on gmbn
Many great insights. Resolved lots of issues I hadn't even realized were so easy to handle. Thank you!
This is a great piece, and would make for a nice series!
No mention of the infamous dead sailor? I know Blake covered it in his jumping tutorial, but a little more information on how to avoid or even react whilst in the air would be much appreciated! Great video nonetheless, hope there will be more!
Deliberately crossing up or whip. Helps loads as keeps u moving not frozen
@@rupedog truth dude
@@rupedog I don't know what crossing up means, and whipping scares me, because I feel like I would be more likely to lose control.
good tips Neil
This is an excellent series. I'm learning. Thank you Neil!
Absolutely! This is great!
It's the obstacles that I don't see that get me. I've had enough crashes in the last 3 months for a video of my own
Instructive video! Neil is laid-back as usual. 😎 Nice choice of music as well. 🎼
Thank you. Yes pls keep making more videos
This is so so so useful. Please continue! : )
This is great! I’d love to see more like this!
Crash course? Yaay, i also want to learn how to crash! 😀
Ride your bike
Liked it keep this series going!
I need all the help I can get. Please keep the anti crash stuff coming.
When I am crushing it at my local trail sometimes I yell "Neil I am Coming for You" AAAAAh
magruderable I need more answers than I do questions
I need to integrate this into my rides.
More of these videos please!
This video should really be titled: “GMBN No-Crash Course”! I’m watching the video nodding my head, remembering each of the times I’ve crashed like that over my riding career.
Great video, would like to see more. GMBN rocks
A really good insight on those crashes. Definitely more Crash Courses Neil! :D
absolutely, keep the tips coming!
Thanks so much for the video and yes please keep these up!!
Yesss, carry on this series please!
It was a really good video. Would like to see more of these.
I really enjoyed the video Neil, as a new rider it was very helpful I would love to see more.
More, more and much more please!
Definitely do more. In fact, come back to coaching!
Yes, I agree, please continue this series. I had a question about a crash I had that resulted in broken finger and broken wrist this year.
