Stop Going From Hero to ZERO When The Trails Are Wet

Wet weather riding - it’s one of those things we all have to face eventually. The rain comes down, the trails transform into slick, slippery slopes filled with wet roots, slimy rocks, and near zero traction. Even the best riders can go from being absolute heroes in the dry to a wobbly, unsteady dribble in the wet.

1 tip be Scottish

[@Styrleden]

I love when it's slippery, it forces you to focus, find a line and stick with it. The only negative thing is that the bike i totally full with mud after a ride

[@DuskPatrol]

You UK guys are madmen. At least your trails and handle moisture. Here in Colorado it's either bone dry or unrideable, trail destroying sludge.

[@JoeIsCrazyWillman]

Same for here in Texas... Not to mention limestone is slick as snot when wet

[@hallstewart]

Having aback wheel/tyre that slips more easily then the front seems to help! As I’m generally going a bit slower, I knock some more air out

[@tonysadler5290]

By far the best series anywhere!

I absolutely love riding in the wet. Must be the Scottish blood in me… my wife thinks I’m crazy for riding in the rain (she’s Italian, they’re allergic to wet weather and never stop complaining about it.) we do live in Tuscany so I don’t get to ride much in the rain until winter and really look forward to it.

It was what you said about the hips either being inline or to the outside of the corner. My cornering has been iffy for years and the last couple of outings ive focused a bit on moving the hips. Think thats a few % improvement which is massive for me 9 years mtbing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@SamGalbraith]

I love a good evidence based video that explains the science / mechanics. More of this!

The worst thing in riding in wet is the cost of waterproof clothing

[@jmeyer61]

Ben reading The Daily Stoic makes a lot sense. After all, a Stoic might say that you can’t control the world around you, only your reaction to it. Ride in the wet!

Is that an xt casette with transmision?

[@TheRotundRider]

I have no need to cork my frustration and rage at the misuse of the word "drivel" because I have none left to expend. I had to deal with two cranky teenagers this morning that just...wouldn't...fucking...go...to...school! ARGH!!!!

[@taylordarion3477]

9:21 that was sick

[@MookPanda]

Slippery as a FISH 🐟 🐠

[@ricaaat]

maybe dribbling could also mean you're being bounced around on the bike, like a ball thats being dribbled?

[@phrides]

You left out the wet root surprise. I suppose that's not likely to be filmed, unless somewhere there were a mtb instructor prone to exercising poor judgment and willing to sacrifice his body for a good educational opportunity. Of course, that hypothetical fellow probably injured himself and can't ride anymore.

*Slowly turns to camera* “Wanna know my secret?… I always dribble…” *Hulk smashes a tree with face*

[@onemanmob6756]

I don't slow down riding in the wet. I don't even start it.
