I have played many sports in my life but bmx has earned my respect the most . After about 6 broken bones and more road rash than I can remember it’s definitely the most dangerous 💪🏼 salute all riders
It's getting too fast. And the bike tires aren't wide enough. Bikes are too light. Not enough weight to counteract the transfer of momentum against gravity compounded by kinetic energy. Would be better to race 24-26" mountain bikes. They wear a helmet and gloves, yoga pants and a jersey. They need more padding.
I felt all those crashes just watching. I crashed and landed on my shoulder hard. It didn't feel like anything that day, but two days after I felt it. I couldn't lift a pan at home. Hell, I'm going for a ride right now. I gotta be a cowboy, don't knock the dust off and jump back on the bull.
Im only getting back into riding at 47, we never had those clipless pedals. Whats the crashes like with them on? They unclip easy? Love the vids man! Learnt alot.
Luckily vintage races like Dirtyfest and Frogtown are bringing back 70's, 80's and even 90's style tracks. Because a lot of us are still very fast but just don't have the muscle memory for these new tracks and bikes.
Jeez, BMX has really evolved since I was a little kid. Gonna go out and watch the race at the little track in Hagerstown MD Saturday at 11am. Not much else to do in this little old town.
That last one they were coming out hot and and real compacted together. Man that's the best racing. Also the best recipe for crashing. It does look cool when they're all synchronized in the pack like that.
Even worse, at the A.B.A. Grands, Some of those crashes soo badd, Many don't return to race again. Conner retired. Crashing takes a tole on the body! Steve Veltman, knows that very well...
Modern racing just isn't that impressive to me. Its too fast because of the mega starting hill IMO. The paved berms are cool because low maintenance. However I am impressed with the fluidity and what I'll call agressive grace of the rapid movement around the track. Yes, a corny observation but that's what I see. How much can a top pro make these days??

As an 80's Bmx racer I don't understand how these season ending crashes on asphalt can be considered sport

I totally agree
That first jump looked brutal
Raced ABA expert through the 90’s……..I felt all those crashes. Don’t miss that part of it lol
I miss the REAL BMX TRACKS 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Some serious slams in that edit. Dang!
im nursing a broken collarbone from a crash. I feel bad for these folks!
I did that in May.
@@rowanfixemer7594 I did it 8 weeks ago
I’m glad I have not crashed like some of these
Pro riders should make big bucks ,it's tough

Great camera work
bmx is brutal, like a combat sport
I feel so bad for Emily... She nosedives into the jump but it was kind of her fault.. Because she leaned to far forward and didn't pull up ebough

Damn. Is that the typical level of carnage at a big race like that?
No I wouldn’t say so at all
In a few year's, someone's gonna attach a motor to them bikes.
Should be alot fun!
Nice vid

that are some hard hits

If I was a believer I'd say you got jinxed by posting this 2 weeks before your crash hehe but I'm glad you're okay, get well soon!
R.I.P to the people who crashed
Are you still doing these cuz I got a good crash for you
Sick😊
1:52 owwww
it’s not bmx fails, it’s just bmx.
Do they have medics on ready?
@@DealwithDale always
I just got back from a broken toe as a result of a gate flip
no no no 1:53, I hope so much she is ok
When im in a race and super close together i just hold my breath and hope im ok🥲🥲
First jump taking so many people
Yeah, it looked sketchy asf
sadly I would have to say in my last two races that has been me
If you've ever wondered why racers wear full face helmets.....
My handlebars broke in half last time I races. I had a rusty gt
8 contesters is too much per heat, 4 or max 6
too many serious crashes
Mexico has bmx races..?
oh-ki-ee-ta
Ouch!!!
how are these guys losing it on a berm
Plz put it in slow motion plz
Mid image not being at bakers field
Ouch
All those fails must hurt and If their bike got damaged is would cost a lot is money.
If I'm going to watch this I would like to watch the whole race not just the wipeouts
Dude the title literally says “BMX Fails” and you clicked on it, watched the Gail’s and now want something different???
Oouch
horrorific
esto no es divertido las caidas duelen yo hago bmx y no es divertido caerse
