Yeah, so we try to run at least one video a week that pertains to dirtbike crashes. That might seem sadistic, but we simply view crashes as part of the game when it comes to riding dirtbikes.
Some dirtbike crashes are downright funny. Some we can learn from them. And then some are like this assemblage of dirtbike crashes from YouTuber Derek Hallman, downright scary. While there is nothing graphic about any of the scenes in Hallman’s clip. it’s a wonder that some of these riders survived them. There are a lot of high-speed incidents and collisions with immovable objects to go along with the usual gamut of action-cam carnage. Ahh yes, the action camera, eyewitness to more dirtbike crashes than any human being in the history of, well, history.
Some of these dirtbike crashes are ones that you can see coming. It’s like watching a horror flick where your inner self is screaming, “Don’t go into the barn where they keep all the axes and saws and stuff!” But people go anyway. There are more than a few riders in Hallman’s clip that have probably asked themselves just what the the hell they were thinking–well, after the bells stopped ringing anyway.
We also want to point out that there are some real jackasses in this video, for whom we have zero sympathy. If you’re going to attempt to ride a dirtbike at anything approaching race speeds without a helmet and, in some cases here, without a shirt, you deserve the rashes from whatever dirtbike crashes that are coming your way. Shame on you.
At any rate, this is one video that we feel obliged to tell you up front not to watch if you’re looking for humorous dirtbike crashes and fails. This is not one of those videos. Instead, Hallman selects some real grinders that are guaranteed to elicit a horrified, “Whoah!” out of the viewer more than once. Viewer discretion advised.
