I remember reading an article back in the 1980's in a bmx magazine talking about how insurance companies made bmx tracks eliminate double jumps and jump angles that sent bmx racers high in the air and change the angles to where they shoot you forward instead of high because of injuries like what this video is showing with this crash. This bmx track shows you why it is dangerous.

[@MRAlrounder]

I am still amazed of how epic this crash is

[@EricFB]

I wonder if the two dudes in yellow jerseys gave each other props after for both doing front flips.

[@narcoz3]

Damn look at those perfect front flips over the table top.

[@L3GITFIXIE]

@ismokemadJs if that was a serious question, clip pedals and you wear special shoes for it so u get more spin and obviously by his front flip, they don't come off

[@tuahenterprise]

Total Epic Crash and have watched it thousand times

[@366BMX366]

I dig the gold and green dudes doing the front flips at the same time. Sick shit bro.

[@MichaelAxelKlose]

Looks like something outta Nitro Circus with those dooley front flips

[@WOWREALLY9]

@ismokemadJs he had clips on. clips are basically a clip on your pedals and clips on your shoes. it helps your rhythm and helps you pedal fast. the only way to clip out is to move you fet to the side in a pivot motion. i have clips of my own and ive fallen before it doesnt feel good. also they are pretty hard to clip out in mid air.

[@xXAlmostEvilXx]

This is some brutal front flip action \m/

[@BUSTER991000]

what was that red piece that flew off was it the glass in the front of the helmet????

[@namezryan]

good thing the first rider still had his helmet on when he crashed onto the dirt ramp, the 2nd rider went str8 to his head, then BOOM front flips! KO to the max.

[@MattS6993]

0:31 Have a close look. The guy on the red bike stopped just in time to stay on his bike. The person behind him went metres high from hitting his rear wheel

[@gregor_b1]

did he won?

[@hawaiianpunch6534]

The two flippers wers clipped in but the last one wasn't and kicked the bike away. That is by far the craziest crash I've seen.

[@D9Beats]

front flip FTW!

[@bbb129]

[@pootang47]

[@TheBobi88]

[@tj526]

[@RADBMX384]

@Joshjoss idk if you've ever raced before but from personal experience wen u crash and relize ur ok adrenaline takes over and all you care about is crossing the finish line. ESPECIALLY at the worlds.

[@SunsetSupermanRMB]

[@halfacooki]

[@TehBrizon]

That guy planted his dome on the ramp so hard I didn't notice the rest of the guys crashing.

[@MRAlrounder]

[@lenBrill1971]

I raced from 1986 until 2001. I refused to clip in. I've seen guys eat it hard face first because they were tied to the bike. Not this cowboy.🇨🇦 P.S. I miss riding bad🥺

[@DEDMTUNES]
