A lot of the dirtbike crash video clips that pop up on social media makes us laugh, and not because they’re humorous.
We’ve shared more than a few that showcase horrific crashes with little redeeming value. Rather, they make us in wince in pain. So why run ’em? Because people can’t seems to stop watching the train wreck. And there are plenty of them that happen every day.
So it’s cool when we run across a dirtbike crash video that is less scary and at least a little bit funny. The Motocross & Supercross channel guys on YouTube seem to get it, as their 2017 Best Motocross Wins & Fails, Ep.2, dirtbike crash video mixes some cool footage where the rider didn’t end up having to pick his teeth up off the ground after eating it on his dirtbike. There are plenty of crashes in this clip, but while some of them are real grinders, most of them aren’t of the bone-crunching variety, and the producer is able to scatter in some other footage that is sometimes humorous and doesn’t involve a crash.
A perfect example is the riderless man at the starting gate around the 30-second mark. For a second it almost looks as if he is going to pull the holeshot, and yet he still figures out a way to crash. Then there’s the real holeshot artist at the 2-minute, 31-second mark, proving that if you want to get the start badly enough, you can come up with a way. And yet he still gets smoked to the first turn. Or the “burnout king” at the 3:!5 mark who looks cool right up until the time that he doesn’t. We also dig the never-say-never attitude of the guy who fails in his back flip attempt at the 3:37 mark. One and done? Not hardly. In fact, he earns our zero-to-hero award on this particular crash compilation.
While we could do without the stunt fools that close out the final minute of the video, but 2017 Best Motocross Wins & Fails, Ep.2 is worth a quick view anyway.
