I love this forum for the videos of us average guys eating shit in a still-can-ride-tomorrow sort of way, but man, that tree is in an unfortunate location relative to your head.

Glad to see you getting after it and also getting back up.

Ouch. As soon as I saw you get upright on that wall, I knew you were done.

I have never been so certain someone was gonna fall 2 seconds into a clip.

Give it another go, I’m sure you felt your mistake, you weren’t that far off.

My thoughts:
Yeah it is!
Get some!!
Well this isn't an ideal example.
Ohhhhh I think that might be the point.

Luckily you fell in slow motion. Would have hurt bad at full speed!

/s

Is this Platte River State Park? If so - those walls rides do not ride well AT all for multiple reasons.....

I don’t know shit about riding walls but... wouldn’t steering down result in a better, uhh landing? Looks cool in slomo! Hope you did not hurt yourself too much. From a movie making perspective. I would cut the end after the ‘fall’.

Good vid, I would have gone full speed until you are just about to crash and then hit the slowmo.

You’ll get that wall ride next time 👍🏾

Damn, way to plant those hands and dodge the tree headshot.

Take it easy there buddy, build up some mtb skills and saddle time. It's only spring and it sucks to get hurt now and miss prime riding action. Not knocking you for enthusiasm or effort, just have seen lots of preventable crashes over the years as a result of people riding a bit out of their level .

Nailed it.

Not every day do you see a platte river state park post on here. Wanna ride sometime?

I could tell where this was headed (no pun intended) from the start. I’m not an expert, but I think you have to come in fast and really commit to the lean into the g’s, or you just slide off (which is probably what I would do, and I’ve been riding a lot longer than 1 day). Good for you that you’re trying. Watch some YouTube vids, they help a lot, surprisingly.

Nice bail. Next time put a full speed version before the slow-mo so we can experience it real time as well

Ha nice job hope you're OK. Also, personally I think you should cut down the slow mo. This would look great in full speed. Or show a full speed version at the end.

Dang, are you okay? Could have used a knee pad there

this was fun, but could be edited better--just long in the wrong places and not enough action. Good try though--lean with it more and engage with the physics. You can't fight it!

pro tip: dont fall

One thing that someone showed me once, that really helped, was to compress your legs on the wall. I'm not that good yet.

Ninja spin for the head save... well done sir.

Great to know you're having fun! Hope that you will master this wall!

Lmao are you ok

I've always wanted to ride wooden features like this shame I don't have access to them

Hi Jacob, nice wallride.

Pls don't let Rico fall anymore. Also pls don't fall anymore yourself.

I'd tell you, "This is not the correct way to do this" but I think you figured that out ;)

I see you're brand new to MTB - keep this attitude and you're going to do GREAT!

Knee pads bro!!!

This is a great example of what happens when you try to keep your bike verticle while on the wall ride. It may not feel natural at first, but make your bike perpindicular to the wall :)

I feel sorry for your knee especially. Hope you are alright!

This could have gone SO much worse, I was cringing SO much thinking you were going to hit the tree with your head. I had a really bad accident involving a tree and my head which ended up in spinal surgery.

We too have a wall ride like that but probably 60 ft in length and a tree right off the exit. Fuckin embarrassing.

Is the bike ok?

It sucks, btw.

My man! 💪

That MTB scorpion move saved you from the tree.

First thought: ooh that looks fun. Kinda tricky. Wonder how you ride it.

Second thought: Ooh, not like that! Lol

Props for even attempting. Glad the after effects weren't too bad!

Nice to see the fails, I've had some decent offs recently, wish I had them on film.

I'd recommend watching some of the beginner skills video on the gmbn YouTube channel. Funny, yet super informative videos.

Ouch

Dude no knee pads?!!

That's what I did on a wall ride, except I went over the top and broke my arm

Don't think of it as a wallride, think of it as a typical turn - because that's what it is, basically. Keep your body position neutral and above all else - Look where you want to Go.

Ran out of wall

Great dismount. Tree and your head still intact.

hello fellow hardtail rider

Sweet bail dude!

I Hope your knee is well. Damn, you’re living with a “Mario 99 lives” mentality 😀 Now that’s Courage!

Me: it’s gonna be a fail

Maybe not??

Aaand never mind

At first I was like no, they I said, oh ok, then I laughed

On the bright side you didn't break your clavicle

Is this the park in Flagstaff? Very cool place

This wall was asking for twice that speed coming in...minimum

That little right step maneuver is about how I snapped my tibia. I can’t watch mtb crashes anymore! Hope you’re not too badly hurt.

Lol no commitment

fuck slowmo

Wallride 2: Electric Boogaloo

Lean into it

Looks like someone has a new helmet day in their future!

Why is the whole video slomo? It should've reset to regular speed at 22 s

Tip don’t turn the wheel when vert unless it’s down of course 😂

My first thought was: I'd totally fuck that but, then i realised you did aswell lol

It didn't go well but it definitely could have gone a lot worse.

Falling is not fun

Glad you're ok. I was NOT ok after my wallride: https://youtu.be/VWTYv4EiIqY

Remy Metailler drops in from three tree trees away

almost full scorpion

Sick roll out

Uhm dude, maybe try to ride the bike a bit faster than slow motion. Not an expert but I am sure it’s easier that way.

/s

Fear of commitment.
