@@TheVTRainMan Definitely wasn't anything near that bad, I'm familiar with Scotty, more of a 'don't be a moron just because you've been riding for 30miles' type of moment.
Last time I did it I didn't realize there was a drop on the trail and pushed the front of my bike down thinking it was a roll. I think the puddle example is less stupid
I feel I almost get the reward for dumbest, I was riding my wifes small bike towing my daughter in a Weehoo trailer. I put the seat up (too much) and the whole seat post came out sending me over the bars and the trailer onto the road.
Really wish this video included the nonsense bonkers save by Loic Bruni where he basically nose manuals ~25 feet down a DH course off a rock and just parks it in the dirt. But I guess that doesn't explain anything to anyone. It was pure magic. The greatest OTB save of all time lol
I love in Daniel’s video that you can see the exact moment where he knew he fucked up. His head tilts downward ever so slightly to look at his front wheel failing him.
I OTBed in early June in a bike park in northen Italy. I chose the wrong line in a rocky berm, my front tire was caught in a rock and my weight collapsed on the handlebar. I was flamboyantly ejected into the berm in the blink of and eye and hit it at a perfectly perpendicular angle with my left shoulder first. I didn't roll or slid on the ground. I crushed in the spot I hit, snapping my left collarbone. I was wearing full-face helmet and full-body protections but It didn't save my bones from the force of the impact. The worst part was what came after: hiking down the trail babying my fracture and the three hours trip to the hospital... Not my best day on a bike 😅
When I started mtb the in mid 2000s with the 26´ wheels and the steeper front angles we had to adopt this backward position. It’s crazy to see how the big wheels changed the riding position and made riding safer regarding OTB. But also the transition can be hard if we keep these old mechanisms
At least, you practiced the crash with a big mat to land on. Remember when Seth was grabbing a handful of front brake last year to demonstrate an OTB and landed on the dirt?
Once I OTBed by riding into the hole on a perfect concrete sidewalk with some good speed, I don’t know how, but I ended up with a few scratches and was able to continue my commute(bike was okay too)
Went OTB hard on a small lippy jump that i tried to roll over but had a little too much speed. Buddies following behind thought it was just a normal crash, but broke my collarbone and separated my shoulder. Besides not going OTB, any tips on surviving an OTB crash without breaking anything? 😆
Tricycle is easy. The back half relies on a uncollapsed quantum field of two simultaneous positions unobserved and the front is a single observed wave function. It’s the duality between the collapsed rear and the prolapsed front that makes it inherently stable and unstable simultaneously.
The hardest OTB I ever had was when my wet hands slipped off the handles on a landing. Which caused my chest to get crushed into the bars while the bike continued on until it smashed into a rock and then ejected me 30ft. (approx.) into a tree upside down (ass over tea kettle/tits). This was before smartphones.... no footage. I had those handlebar marks on my chest for a month.
I have gone over my handlebars three times in forty years of riding my bike. My bars are always way higher than my seat and I don't go downhill off of trails that much.
I went OTB early in the season because it was a heavy bike at 56lbs and I wasn't quite used to it yet. Brakes very good and weight was wrong. Hurt my thumb and it continues to hurt. OTB is not fun. Got myself a full face and hope to never do it again.
I can't really let that slip. The rear wheel to the butt does not contribute to the OTB on that last example. First, the wheel is off the ground so decelerated or not, it has very little impact on the pitch of the bike, perhaps through conservation of angular momentum. Second, a deceleration of the rear wheel would be a rearward force applied at ground level where the contact patch of the rear wheel is and this does not promote a forward rotation. The last guy hits the sharp edge with his rear wheel and the rear wheel bounces off it upwards, introducing a rotation that ultimately kicks him out the front door. Even if the wheel had rolled this edge, he was in trouble with the front wheel off the ground as this is always going to promote rotation when the rear wheel goes up and the front falls under gravity. You'd have to throw your body weight back to create a forward rotation countering angular momentum but the since the rider is already as back as he can be, there's no room for throwing himself back any further.
Fart jokes on a Friday, great start to the weekend! That Rendall kid is such a bad influence on the rest of the class, I bet he has an electric bike 😂 keep up the good work Ben 🤘❤️🌈🕊️🌎
I would say that the rider that he said should have leaned forward more to be able to push of the deop was slightly wrong. It looked to me that the rider leaned too far back and down instead of back and pushing the bike forward..
