Why is the sight of people falling off dirt bikes so entertaining? I don't know but I'll keep watching in order to try and find out.

Epic Dirt Bike Fails

Now, god forbid I should criticise people who are learning to ride a bike: if only there were more of them, is what I say.

But that doesn't stop me loving videos that lots of clever people, who were in the right place at the right time with their phones out, captured for all our education and entertainment. Or maybe they were misguided enough to fit a GoPro and capture all their mistakes. At least they were big enough to post them for all of us to enjoy.

What is it about dirt bikes that encourage people to try things that are really outside their skill level? I've done a bit myself and I've managed to stop short of mangling myself but maybe that's because I was going too slow or was too chicken to try anything difficult!

This video is of a bunch of mates who are playing around at a local dirt track and....well....they're not very good! Actually, no that's not fair: they are good, but sometimes their ambition outweighs their talent. But, hey, you've got to start somewhere, don't you?

Hopefully, no-one was injured, other than damage to their pride.
