I recently took a hard crash on Snow Summit's new trail, 10-ply. Today we get a good look at the crash, what happened, and how I could have avoided it.
In the end, I'm grateful that the injury wasn't any worse, that I had good people with me, and good trail staff to get me down the mountain.
I hope my mountain biking philosophy helps you or at least its cheesiness is entertaining. I use this approach to generally avoid big crashes, and we see in this episode how breaking the rules breaks bones.
Hope you dig it.
HUGE THANKS to Katy for taking care of me after getting down the hill and for driving me to get fast food and for driving us all the way down the mountain.

That sucks, Brother! These ‘post crash’ analysis vids are a lot more helpful than how to ones. I love your acronym. Def spent time going over it. I too had a bad crash this Summer and did a video explaining my mistakes. Again, thanks for posting this and I wish you well healing up! Jealous of the Stache-chops👊🏻

@mtb_alan 4 года назад

Hey man! Thanks! I'm glad you find the vid useful I will have to check out your vid too. Hope you're healing up. Ha! Regarding the chops: just trim the chin! 😆

@panchampatel1 4 года назад

Good Video. You did fantastic job with play by play explanations. Hope that your recovery went well.

@mtb_alan 4 года назад

Thanks Pancham! Glad you appreciated that. Recovery is going well. It's been 10 months since the crash and that right hand and forearm is still only at about 1/3 the strength as my left. Mobility is a WIP. 💪🏽

Hey

@robsindik 4 года назад

Such a great video. I appreciate your honesty and I know that most of my wipeouts have been because of the autopilot/bad habits on sketchy sections. So much of mountain biking is the mental game. I have a great interest in your story since I’m in the early stages of ankle fracture/surgery recovery from my crash and I am enjoying seeing you get back into your groove. I can’t wait to get back out there!

Thanks for the analysis there, super helpful. I had a pretty bad wreck a few months ago. I'm back on it, and feeling good out there. All the time to reflect helped my mental recovery and ease some of the trepidation when it was time to return to the trails - I felt like I had a plan. Happy healing buddy. p.s. The Path Podcast Ep. 92 was pretty helpful to me re: dealing with the injury.

You did an excellent job on the break down. I tried to do it myself using slow-mo, but I just couldnt figure out why it happened the way it did. After hearing you explain it, it really made sense. Just glad you are ok. Like you said it could have been much worse. Great vid on this and hopefully I will retain that info when the time comes for me to commit to a rock area like that.

@mtb_alan 2 года назад

Thanks! I know using that process has helped me a lot. I still forget to do that and have gotten "lucky" a couple times. I try to come back to the process. I added something to the Sit to Commit part. I know take three calming breaths to clear my anxiety and settle in.

@daviddyogi8279 3 года назад

Well glad you wer ok and recovered and back on it..your clips helps me and my crew alot for preparation on how we ride..any chance you can do some clinics. With your experience, dat would be cool....drops, berms turns, jumps approach, etc...

Wow, just watched this Alan and it was really painful to see you crash. I had a bad OTB like that early this year, brings back memories. Blew out my shoulder now I finally had surgery to repair. I'm off my Trek 'till early next year, Doc says could be 4 months. it's killing me I wanna ride so bad. BOSS, dang that makes so much sense, 100%. It's so easy to auto pilot on trails known. Thanks so much for the share, I'm on learning overload. Happy you've recovered and better than ever.

@mtb_alan 3 года назад

Man...sorry to hear about your injury. I feel you. It was months for me before I was even able to roll around a parking lot on a bike. I hope you heal well. Something I said in a vlog...and maybe I should do a full vid on this is instead of waiting to ride again, prepare to ride again. Of course listening to your doctor and PT, you can still do work to stay fit. When I separated my AC joint years ago, I actually totally changed my diet, and it wasn't long after coming back from that that I was fitter than I was pre-injury. The wrist injury has been a bit different...quite a bit harder to come back from, but same thing, I did a ton of leg and core work while I was unable to use my hand/wrist. But yeah man...it's good to watch vids, read, etc. But keeping moving (safely and according to doc's orders) will be huge for your fitness and mental health...especially if you can get out into the woods.

Just went back and re-watched this. Good wisdom you're sharing here. Especially thinking about the entry, negotiation, and exit. In the recent past, I wasn't giving any thought to the exit. It was all entry and negotiation. But not thinking about that exit has gotten me into trouble more times than I can count.

@mtb_alan 3 года назад

Right on, Adam. Ha...yeah! It's funny how that exit will get ya. Just when you think you're in the clear. That's precisely what happened to me when I did a powder dive at the end of Muscle Beach. 😆

@luismendez-tu7mr 2 года назад

Hey Alan I know this video is old now but I helped me to find out what where my mistakes in a similar feature two weeks ago. Luckily I didn’t broke any bones but I sprained my two wrist. They are doing a lot of better but I may require a couple more weeks for a full recovery. I can’t wait to go back and start working on my MTB skills again. Thank you for all your content. 💪🏼

@mtb_alan 2 года назад

Sorry to hear about your crash. Glad it's only sprains. I'm stoked to hear that this vid might help. Hope you can get back out there soon!

@ManNomad 4 года назад

Finally hit 10ply for the first time today, twice. No crashes and had a great time even on my 26" with trail tires and open face. Thanks for the heads up on this video which instilled the seriousness of a split second error. Probably my favorite trail of all time now as it is like a mile long version of all the loose steep extra credit bits I ride every day locally. Hope you're riding and enjoying by now.

@stevencole7331 4 года назад

I watch allot of crashes but your OTB is one of the few to break it down and I appreciate that . For my crashes I have no video to really get a true perspective as you got with this episode . Hard to relive but breaking it down may help to avoid a crash in the future but we are human and bad habits are going to pop up and why baseball players go into slumps while batting . They know the correct way to bat but return to what is familiar when they fist began the sport . Event though its not right . Definitely a flaw in the human mind and we have allot of them . There are some out there that really never crash or very rarely and probably were trained correctly at an early age or just have a six sense about things and pay attention to it .

Great breakdown! I did something similar about 20 years ago riding something not nearly as cool, and without the modern technology we have to analyze it. I had external pins sticking out as well, and one inside, so I guess it could have been worse! In fact, I also broke a similar sit bone that JKW recently broke, so you can say it could be a lot worse! I was back on the bike in 8 weeks. My wrist was super weak but strengthened up fast. Hang in there!

@mtb_alan 3 года назад

My pleasure. True, the hip hinge is one foundational part of any athletic movement. It's the most basic thing any movement coach learns about. But it's one part of athletic movement and when over-used or used at the wrong time can cause problems. In this case, it was my hinging that caused the crash. I hinged too much and too early. What's important to remember about the hip hinge, is that it's not a static solution but rather a dynamic preparation. This means it works best as part of a MOVEMENT not as a position. True, it loads your posterior chain more, so it takes stress off your quads and better allows your legs to act as suspension. But more importantly, hinging at the hip loads your posterior chain, i.e. your biggest muscles, i.e. your butt and hamstrings. And we LOAD a thing in order to FIRE that thing. So loading the posterior change, works best when you're getting ready to OPEN that hinge to generate power, i.e. open your hips for something like a pump or a jump. Hope that helps!

I'm really lucky... last time I did that I was able to jump off (flats for the WIN) and land on my feet, then just roll. I got up laughing at my misadventure. My nice carbon frame and paint job has 3 war wounds now. (well, it's now the wife's bike... I bought a new Yeti SB5.5 lol)... 59 years old and no broken bones ever though :-) Have a FAST recovery!!!

@mtb_alan 4 года назад

Nice! Glad you came away unscathed. I tried reeeal huard to roll and just couldn't make it. And definitely flats ftw!

@EpicEvolution 4 года назад

My first thought was about hitting rear brake too much. But why such experienced rider would do that? And then you showed right answer. In the end of the day it's physics. But mental part plays really key role. It easily can make hard trail comfortable and vice versa. It was nice analysis. So wish you all the best and get in the bike ASAP

@mtb_alan 4 года назад

I appreciate the comment. I did hit the rear brake...just with my butt. 😆 And definitely the mental game is key. Thanks for the good thoughts. Healing up day by day. 💪🏽

Good video. I just had a season ending crash myself and I am still not sure I want to watch the footage, let alone post it. I'm 2 weeks out and had surgery on my ankle.

@mtb_alan 4 года назад

Thanks Rob! Sorry to hear about the ankle. Hope you heal up well. Yeah, take your time. It was therapeutic for me to see what happened and own my mistakes, but it’s not for everyone. You don’t want to add to the trauma. Hang in there and take it day by day. 👊🏽

Glad you didn't get busted up. Thanks for the kind words. Fortunately, this was almost two years ago now and the wrist is healed. The hand doesn't work like it used to but good enough for laps! 🤘🏾

Holy Shi* Alan, I stopped the video to start writing. I hope you heal quick and right. That was nasty. That was hard to watch. I have OTB'd and tore my shoulders on separate occasions, glad you are OK, apart from you wrist. Thanks for the video.

@buttmanjenkins3972 3 года назад

A good reminder that if you aren't "feeling it" it's probably best to respect the trail and let it win that round. Those rollers aren't going anywhere, you can always come back more skilled and prepared.

@jimwilliamson4983 4 года назад

I am interested in the injury, the sugery, and the followup. Broken thumb and wrist are the most common. Dr. Daniel Wongwarwat out of Loma Linda is definitly the go to surgeon in the area. Did my thumb, and had to cut it in half and spin it back into the right position after another orthepedic screwed it up. Good luck!

@mtb_alan 4 года назад

Dang...that sounds gnarly. Ha...yeah Wongwarwat was great with me. I fractured my ulna and dislocated my lunate. According to Dr. Wongwarwat, this is the worst kind of wrist injury. The surgery involved re-attaching the ligaments and tendons and putting in four pins to keep the wrist immobilized and the lunate in place. The follow-up is ongoing. I broke my wrist in August, had the pins in for 7 weeks and started therapy in November. I still only have limited mobility and strength. The recovery continues.

@ocoutdoors2355 4 года назад

It seens like people only get injured when going slowly. Every time I've been injured it was whilst barely moving. High speed crashes seem to be the least injury inducing. Weird how that works.

@mtb_alan 4 года назад

Dunno. I was going fast when I separated my shoulder. Seems it less about fast v slow and more about the right speed yeah?
