My latest OTB was the dumbest kind, I tried riding my gravel bike through a puddle...turns out it was a drainage ditch lmfao

@TheVTRainMan Ай бұрын

Those type of crashes can be the worse thing. Look up Scotty Cranmer's paralyzing accident.

@@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.

Been there, but for me it was not gravel, but concrete😢

@omsteve4761 Ай бұрын

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

@beno9966 Ай бұрын

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

Having the right bike helps. Switching from an xc bike to a modern trail bike with a more slack head tube angle was a game changer for me

@m.j.5681 Ай бұрын

Having a good deal of upper-body strength also helps to prevent going OTB. Obviously there are times when it is just going to happen, but when you can hold on through a rapid loss of momentum by strength, it certainly helps. I've definitely turned several would-be front door exits to side door exits because of this.

Last endo to a near faceplant: Caught a pedal while blazing on a descent trying to beat potential flash flood conditions back to the car. Bike stopped in its tracks momentarily while I unconsciously unclipped and soared 15-20 ft with arms extended into a front-handspring (minus the spring), landing on some rocks with my back. I was back up while bike was still flipping end-over-end behind me. Scratched Kashima hurt more than the scrapes and bruises in the moment. Miraculously rode away from this incident. Landed a few inches away from a jagged protruding rock I'd aptly consider a "spine buster". The jersey from this ride is one of my favorite at-home shirts now, holes and all (of which there were probably 2 dozen).

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 😅

do you have a bump in your shoulder?

@maxpower6188 18 күн бұрын

@@user98292 yup. I had no surgery, the fracture was reduced with bandages, step by step. The two tips of the bone didn't line up perfectly, there is some overlap and a tiny misalignment. In that spot I have a tiny lump but it's not very noticeable.

@NicolasZu1 Ай бұрын

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?

@TheVTRainMan Ай бұрын

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.

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.

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? 😆

Can too much rebound on the fork make you go otb in a table top? Because I think too much rebound was the cause of my otb crash

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 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..

@julienuzan5332 Ай бұрын

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.
