Face plant.......you know it when its too late!!

Pic of the week!

Face plant....the question as always, what will hit the ground first, hands or face?

Technically if the rider manages to reach the ground with body parts other than his face we call it an Over The Bars (OTB)......

How to do a face plant:

- Ride a down hill slope....preferable < -10% or

- ditch

- Don't commit.....or ride like a chicken = keep riding pace very slow

- Apply front brake when you should not

- Refuse to bring body weight behind your seat

- Keep your head positioned above your handlebar at all times....

- Hold on to your handlebar until you face or chin is well planted in the obstacle

you are trying to ride.

Good luck!
