Love seeing how much body english the riders who know how to handle mud are showing. All sorts of shapes at normalish speed, rather than full send from last week.
Because they feel they may lose the back end and they can dab a foot down to save themselves from crashing. With a track in these conditions the back end likes to slide around a lot. *The front too for that matter hah.
@@funky-phantom They can still dab with outside foot down, most people who are crashing have their inside foot down, which is an unstable position, it's also an unstable position for the knee to be internally rotation under force, which is likely to cause injury over time. Internal rotation of the knee can cause ACL injuries and is how how most knee injuries happen.
@@T-rick Yes, many times. I've ridden over five thousand miles of road, fire roads, singletrack since this spring. I live in the high desert and it's generally very dry here but it snows and rains in winter. We don't have many DH tracks here, mostly cross country and mt bachelor.
This year in DH needs to go down in history. We need a post season documentary to cover how diabolical LG, VDS, and now Louds have been...
Diabolical? lol....
Tahnee rode that like a “Boss” @ 1.10 in
Fastest qualifier for tomorrow!
she kept that pink kit clean
This track is entertaining as hell.
8:13 Blenki makes everything look so easy; insane style
He is freaking fast
Great bit of sunny footage showing the skills of these riders in testing conditions, it really is a unique sport.......... send it!

Why do people try to go around turns with their inside foot down?

Have you ever ridden in mud?
