Cars crash into retractable poles in London

What happens when you have a system of retractable poles in the ground in London, United Kingdom that allow a bus driver to enter a street while keeping out the proletariat? A: Hilarity as the commoners wreck their cars on the street poles :) Watch this video and see.

He knocks out some teeth and bleeds everywhere. Sucks to be him...

Video: Ricky Moseley gets bloody...

Ricky tried a pendulum over the box jump backwards at Autumn Ramp Park. He somehow fell and hit his head on the ground and knocked himself out even though he was wearing his helmet. He was ok after the staples. He did a flair on a 3 ft quarter pipe 48 hours later.

PEG TO THE SKULL - STEPHENS STORY
"its true!
but not such a good thing,
last weekend i was riding trails (saturday arvo), i nose cased the last in the line, thankfully with noone behind me, and went OTB. From that point, everything went wrong, i hit the dirt, the bike went up over my back and i got a peg to the head, and we all know that pegs are harder than a porn star on viagra.
Basically from that point, i just got up onto all fours, chucked off my helmet, while noticing a torrent of blood pissing from my head, like seriously pissing out, so off came the shirt and it went straight to the head.
I hung round for a bit, called my dad and he came to pick me up, i was ages from home though. When he got there some white shit was on my shirt, dad joked that it was probably brains, i'll get back to that later."

Pretty gnarly. Make sure to head over to zombiebmx and read the whole story. There are more pics as well.

All I gotta say is... you weren't even close buddy.
Best quote is -
Dude#1 "my teeth are screwed up now".
Dude#2 "Nah you can just get caps or whatever"

Classic... the writers are on strike but you can't write good comedy like this...

Video: Alex Liiv Scarred

MTV's show Scarred has clips from all different types of sports, not just BMX. As fun as it is to watch inline skaters rack their nuts on rails... I find that I am drawn to the BMX clips only because it terrifies me that something like this could happen to me or any of my friends.

That said, I am not hopping 24 stairs to flat. Or in this case I should say to a flattened face. Alex Liiv was bored one day and decided to hop a double set. His wheel totally collapsed and he tastes the pavement.

What I'm wondering is did he laced that rim himself or did he just reach the physical stress limit of that rim? Watch this and start second guessing your bigger tricks...

Video: Chester Blacksmith Scarred

Remember when this ad for the Insight video came out? You may have read about what happened to Chester Blacksmith while filming for the Insight video but he actually did an MTV Scarred segment complete with leg snap footy.

I came across this and just had to post it. Gnarly. I don't care what anybody says... BMX is way more dangerous than skateboarding.

Video: Jake Brown's Road to Recovery

We all remember what happened to Jake Brown on August 2nd at the X games, in fact, it's impossibly hard to forget. He fell over 4 stories to the flat bottom of a ramp... and survived. It was the car crash that you couldn't tear your eyes from. Mat Hoffman fell from that height and was in and out of a coma for 3 days.

Jake Brown walked away.

So it's almost half a year later and Jake is still recovering. I'm thinking that if he had any of his 9 lives left before this fall they're all gone now. Watch this video to see the events, how he survived, and how he's doing today.

How to: Fall Four Stories

Fall Four Stories and survive like Jake Brown

How to: Fall Four Stories (Like Pro Sk8er Jake Brown)

Just in case you somehow ever find yourself doing Kevin Robinson, Matt Hoffman, or Morgan Wade sized airs there is an interesting article I found on Wired on How to Survive a 4 Story fall.

1. Don't panic. As Brown says, "Gravity does what gravity does, you know?"

2. Pick a good landing spot. Trained BASE jumpers and skydivers can survive free falls of 100 feet, if they hit mud or a slope. If you're falling from less than 100 feet, you can aim for water (any higher and surface tension makes hitting water feel like slamming into concrete).

3. Spread the impact. Brown turned in midair and absorbed the impact with his feet, then rolled across his back. Such a maneuver is the best way to turn vertical momentum horizontal.

4. Be tough as nails, lucky, or Australian. From a height of 50 feet, you quickly accelerate to 30 miles per hour — so fast, as one expert puts it, you're lucky if your internal organs stay in place on impact.

And, of course, if you are doing airs that big you should enter next year's X-Games Big Air contest and win some cash... which you should then promptly split with me for helping you out so much.
You're welcome.
