At this point, I'd watch Ben and this production crew critique and explain paint drying. You all are an entertaining and informative lot. Keep up the work.
Another big reason why i see so many wash outs is the lug size the tread. The noticed that i would wipe out a lot on super packed dirt with my trail bike, but not so much with my xc bike. I realized that for super packed dirt, large knobs actually can give you less grip if knobs aren’t digging in very far, vs a xc tread that has smaller knobs but more of them, so you have in general more contact area on the ground. It’s like riding a dirtbike on the street, those large lugs aren’t gonna help much with cornering on asphalt. (I know it’s not the same but it’s just an analogy)
Super appreciate this video. Just last week, I broke my leg and had to get nine screws and a plate put in because my foot got caught on a wash out and was turned 180 degrees backwards in the fall. I then had to self rescue hurting the leg more...in all honesty I am feeling pretty fearful to get back on the bike. Although I was crying while I watched this video because it brought up a lot of visual aspects of the fall, I think I am understanding what I did wrong...definitely went in with way too much speed, making me miss the line.Thank you for this...the timing and information impeccable!
They didn't go out of their way to annoy you, so it's more memorable. Too many advertisers think they need to essentially yell in the viewer's face to get you to pay attention when I just find that off-putting.
Your first definition is more of a rain out, not a washout. A washout is also a reference to soil movement due to a sudden rush of water, causing the ground to sluff or slip in various volumes. Possibly a closer match to the sudden loss of support? But nice try Ben, you might get the next one right. 🤣
New to "How to Bike." Just mending a broken rib due to an extreme washout. I wish I had watched this video two weeks ago. Ben, you make me LOL. You really should consider hosting a talk show.
The tire weighting can be a bit tricky since it's nonlinear. Sometimes putting more weight on a tire increases the grip, sometimes it just overloads all the grip you can get. Either way though, keeping it centered is the answer.
and when you get old you snap your right thumb sliding out on your left side even though your right thumb never came off the bar or touched the ground & you type this with voice to text
I am feeling lucky : washed out twice the same day (one on each side). Just a few bruises and scratches thanks to my protection. Best recovery to the injured ones. Ride safe!
I did it gonig around a flat curve on the local family trade and snapped my collarbone in half. I'm 6 weeks post surgery am able to finally ride soft/cross country style stuff for awhile. I can't wait to get back on the jumps!
I'm going with when you cross a river the force of water can knock you off your feet, you've been washed out and you fall inwards. Exactly the same happens on the corner, your wheel has gone out from under you and you're falling to the inside.
Watch these wipeouts I remember the backroads days before burms and prepared bike paths. On a dirt road making a sharp turn you'd lean off your bike placing your weight on the inside of the turn keeping your tire tread as level as possible on the grave, dirt or mud. Have wheels become fragile?
on the fly i decided to jump into a berm, instead of squashing the jump, i misjudged the amount of support, came in sideways, full wash out, surgery and 6 months reeducation, because of a rash decision on a bad day
A guy I met and rode with for the 1st time did the same thing. He was wearing a half shell and jacked the side of his face up. He has gravel, sand leaves and twigs stuck to his raw face. After seeing that I alway ride full face when going hard. Hope you heal up well🤙
Yep, washed out recently on a blind flat corner with a small puddle perfectly placed at the apex of the turn. Never saw it until it was too late. Full speed and was a full slip and slide into the brush.. couple of nasty keep sake scars for my troubles too… No way to save it. 😑
Tire preasure is my recipe to try to be faster than any one in XC BUT that means that I sucks going down or in fast and loose corners= no grip, not easy to turn. But avg speed is high.
It's just like saying "that trail was crazy" or " that trail was insane" the trail isn't literally crazy or insane it's meant as a phrase to show or imagine how you feel or felt
3:05 - you rolled over a foot long piece of wet flat wood. Your front slid a bit and your rear completely let go on the same piece of wet wood. You couldn’t roll over that with any steering input at all and not “wash out.”
@@mishaknyazev2799 I agree, I'm making a parody of the controversy they got in on their podcast making fun of average riders. I love blue trails, just jesting them :)
Just finished great video… my lesson is don’t go race speed at kitsuma after it rains 😢just pulled 2” piece of a root out of my bar from my last washout 11 days ago in the pisgah enduro. Still have root imprint on ribs, got under my chest plate wahhh wahhh.. sun is out ride time 🎉
Find the biggest front tire that will fit between your fork legs and put it on. Screw the weight, nobody reading this is competing for a spot on the World Cup XC grid.
everyone knows, in a drift you turn your wheel to the oposite side so... if you know you will fall its simple just counter force it to the other angle so you straight up the bike... simple as that (─‿‿─)
If Ben did a Friday Fails watchalong/analysis I would 100% watch every week
I would too
Please make this happen!
Please. This sounds great.
Sign me up for that
Yes; that would be great; both fun and helpful for mere minions like me :o)
Impressed how Ben puts himself on the line to demonstrate the issues. Now that's a true teacher leading by example.
Filming with this man is simply hilarious 🤣
LOL!! When is the next intentional Yaw-Off?!!
My new favorite TV show. Nominate this lad for an Emmy!
14:36 is exactly how I look into corners, thanks for being relatable as always. protect Ben at all costs.

@@Durwood71 Well said
I could watch this all day. Thank you Ben
Haha the Burner Phone - I couldn't stop laughing!!
0:30 Great new excuses I didnt know yet! Will use em!
More absolute GOLD boys, great work
love your drawings in the Clips 😂🥳👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
"Ride Slow Die Whenever"
I am that washout. 0:14
I'm very impressed by how Ben risks his physical integrity for the sake of these episodes : what a stunt man !
After a pair of washouts last year that left nerve damage in my elbow; I got an Assegai for the front this year and haven't even gotten close. 🤠

Excellent use of the OG RAGE FACE on the first clip. Love the tips and explanations. Keep it coming!

The hammer hits on random parts of the bike gets me every time 😂
“Ride the berm” love it 😂
Cathro you are a real gem san.
and when you get old you snap your right thumb sliding out on your left side even though your right thumb never came off the bar or touched the ground & you type this with voice to text
Stewart95 was leaning towards the outside of the turn placing an excess lean on the tire surface= less traction.
Here for Cathro! Best teacher out there.
Clearly saw the rut! Thanks for that Ben! Stick figure illustrations were perfect! 👍🏼
At 11:42 he lost not 1, but 2 phones.
Haha wtf😳 soo good

Washing out in corners is kind of my trademark. Perhaps I should pay attention to this one.
That's dedication, way to go Ben
I'm going with when you cross a river the force of water can knock you off your feet, you've been washed out and you fall inwards.
Exactly the same happens on the corner, your wheel has gone out from under you and you're falling to the inside.
So nice all these technical and detailed discussions about riding. Thank you! :D:D:D
Schwalbe said this only happens to bikes without their radial tire technology...
I think we can all agree that at the 16:38 monologue, it would have been 100% better with "like a fish!" at the end of it
That was a gnarly washout… that inside knee was in the grinder
"LiKe A fISh!" Max you legend
One minute into the video and I already have sympathy pains in my shoulder 😂.

Love Ben, but also the everyone on this show is awesome.
Good info but brutal to watch. Came here for the good bad and ugly of cornering. Could have been half as lengthy 🤙🏻

Washed out on a patch of grass near the shop, scratched my leg😂
Washed out and broke my leg. Now I'm terrified to ride downhill again
No one commented on the amount of tread left on the front tyre on karlo's squeaky (breaks not worky bike)
It's just like saying "that trail was crazy" or " that trail was insane" the trail isn't literally crazy or insane it's meant as a phrase to show or imagine how you feel or felt
I can ride a race bmx bike in the snow, 20 inch tires slick no knobs. Its a matter of knowing when to tap that foot.
3:05 - you rolled over a foot long piece of wet flat wood. Your front slid a bit and your rear completely let go on the same piece of wet wood. You couldn’t roll over that with any steering input at all and not “wash out.”
I bet you a tenner that Stuart was eyeballing the camera when he took that corner.
Carl's front tyre looks like a slick Ben......not a slick Ben, a slick Ben
Use front or rear brakes in these situations??
Two wheel drifts? Next episode?
Was that a Sram Transmission XO rear mech with a Shimano XT cassette at the end 🤔
I don't have to worry about washing out bumbling down blue trails 🥱
Blue trails are the best.
Man, you should not worry about riding not really difficult trails, most important thing is that you’re having fun with your bike
😂😂😂

@@BrandonWatkins614long as you don’t film it and put it on RUclips apparently.
Carlsberg haven’t a look in with Ben and PB.
The dude in Morzine grabbed a fist full of front break right before the slide.
Every physics person is about to lose their mind over “centrifugal force”
I saw a guy wash out on flats on a corner and his foot cam out of his socket. horrible view.
LMAO... "Like an absolute bifty"
pure gold
Can anybody explain why Ben went with Deviate ?
2nd non bot also washing out on purpose is crazy work
I can now only wash in at corners after watching this.
63.5 ha bikes = first washouts in my life , started riding in the mid 90s…

Washing out really sucks when it’s on asphalt
Go get yourself cleaned up mate 😂😂😂
Was it a fish tail or a drift?
"wouldn't say anything ends cleaner" well the trail will be cleaner of any bikes and riders.😂
Last two times I have washed out, i have sworn to wear knee pads in the future 😖🤕
The first session drift was on purpose, guaranteed he just wanted tips on how to hold the drift better instead of washing out.
Find the biggest front tire that will fit between your fork legs and put it on. Screw the weight, nobody reading this is competing for a spot on the World Cup XC grid.
Fat tires have a lessor ground psi.
Skinny tire bites through soft ground larger footprint does better on hard pack to a point.
11:54 front wheel stops rotating
Yes, her rides his bakes moto and it seems he presses the front brake.
@@EdSchwarz5544good eye

Hi
Just slow down problem solved

Bumbling at it's finest 😅
Each time Ben tries to make a joke, it gets harder to absorb the information.
