D R A B C

Seorang well trained first aider pasti dan kudu ngarti cara melakukan DRABC sebelum melakukan pertolongan. Apa itu DRABC?

D = Danger, pastikan bahaya yang ada di sekitar korban dan penolong sudah dijauhkan/dihilangkan. Kalo gak bisa, pindahkan korban bila memungkinkan. Jangan pindahkan korban seandainya ada tanda-tanda cedera tulang belakang.
R = Response, cek apakah si korban bisa merespon panggilan kita. Bila korban tidak sadar, lakukan prosedur ABC lalu segera minta bantuan medis yang terdekat (klinik, puskesmas, dll.)
A = Air way, buka mulut korban dan pastikan jalan nafas tidak terhalang oleh benda asing. Jika tidak ditemukan benda asing, tetap usahakan jalan nafas terbuka.
B = Breathing, lihat, dengar, dan arsakan apakah korban bernafas setidaknya selama 10 detik. Jika korban bernafas, tempatkan korban dalam posisi yang nyaman. Jika tidak bernafas, lakukan Cardio Pulmonary Resusitation (CPR) dan segera cari pertolongan medis. Prosedur CPR bisa dilihat di sini: http://www.stjohn.org.au/quick_pdfs/cpr.pdf
C = Circulation, periksa aliran darah dengan cara melihat, mendengar, merasakan nafas korban, batuk, korban bergerak atau tanda-tanda kehidupan lainnya. Jika korban tidak sadar tetapi bernafas, posisikan dalam posisi yang nyaman dan segera cari pertolongan medis. Bila korban tidak sadar dan tidak ada tanda-tanda bernafas atau sirkulasi aliran darah, lakukan CPR dan segera cari pertolongan medis.

Silihkan klik link berikut mengenai step by step DRABC yang lebih lengkap: http://www.stjohn.org.au/quick_pdfs/handlinganemergency.pdf. Sebenarnya ada step "D" di link tersebut, cuman tidak mungkin dilakukan di arena genjot karena harus bawa alat Defibrilator.

Pendarahan

Untuk pendarahan kecil seperti luka gores, lecet di lutut, dll., bersihkan luka terlebih dahulu. Kalau ada air bersih (misalnya dari camelbak), siram luka dengan air tersebut sampai kotoran hilang. Kemudian bersihkan luka dengan alkohol (sekarang ini banyak dijual kasa beralkohol sekali pakai yang di-packing ringkas). Setelah itu semprotkan sprydien ato oleskan betadine. Tutup luka dengan kasa steril dan rekatkan dengan plester agar kasa tidak berubah posisi.

Untuk pendarahan besar, lepas pakaian di bagian yang luka atau gunting pakaian jika tidak bisa dilepas. Bersihkan kotoran yang ada lalu berikan tekanan terhadap luka dengan menggunakan kasa steril atau kain bersih. Bila terdapat benda asing di dalam luka, lakukan tekanan di sekitarnya saja. Baringkan korban dan posisikan bagian yang terluka lebih tinggi dari jantung. Berhati-hatilah bila diperkirakan ada tulang yang patah. Pasang kasa steril lalu bebat luka dengan mitela ato flexiband. Tambahkan kasa bila masih terlihat pendarahan, ulangi pembebatan. Detailnya ada di sini: http://www.stjohn.org.au/quick_pdfs/severe_bleeding.pdf

Patah Tulang, Keseleo, atau Dislokasi

Untuk patah tulang, ikuti prosedur DRABC. Tangani pendarahan lalu tutup luka. Periksa bagian yang patah dan minta korban untuk tidak menggerakkan bagian tersebut. Bebat bagian yang patahseperti yang di link berikut: http://www.stjohn.org.au/quick_pdfs/fract.pdf. Sebaiknya keseleo jangan diurut dan perhatikan jangan sampai aliran darah tertutup sama sekali oleh proses pembebatan.

Untuk dislokasi dan keseleo, lakukan prosedur DRABC lalu ikuti dengan RICE (bila memungkinkan):

R = Rest
I = Ice
C = Compression
E = Elevation

Cedera Tulang Belakang

Ini yang paling penting diingat bila ada teman yang jatuh saat bersepeda: jangan pindahkan korban kecuali korban dalam kondisi berbahaya. Ikutin prosedur yang ada di link berikut: http://www.stjohn.org.au/quick_pdfs/spinal_injury.pdf atau http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/first-aid-spinal-injury/FA00010. Segera cari pertolongan medis.

Cedera Mata

Siapa tau mata kelilipan lumpur yang muncrat, bantu dongakkan kepala korban kemudian aliri mata korban dengan air bersih. Bila benda asing tidak bisa dikeluarkan atau mata tetap terasa perih, tutup mata dengan kasa steril. Bebat mata yang sudah tertutup dengan mitela atau perban lentur (flexiband). Segera cari bantuan medis.

Lengkapnya bisa dilihat di sini: http://www.stjohn.org.au/quick_pdfs/eye_injury.pdf

Digigit Ular Berbisa

Cek nafas dan aliran darah si korban lalu tenangkan si korban. Segera bebat beberapa centimeter di atas bagian yang digigit (ke arah jantung), harus kencang seperti membebat tangan atau kaki yang keseleo tetapi tidak terlalu kuat. Gunakan bantuan kayu/papan pada saat membebat agar bagian badan tidak terlalu banyak bergerak. Minta si korban untuk tidak banyak bergerak atau meronta karena akan membuat bisa ikut terpompa ke dalam aliran darah. Lengkapnya di sini: http://www.stjohn.org.au/quick_pdfs/snake_spider_bite.pdf

A "Before You Ride" Basic Beginner Mountain Bike Skill Workshop

From Kevin Tisue

Getting Started
Mountain biking is an exciting sport that can be enjoyed by everyone who knows how to ride a bike. It does, however, present some additional challenges compared to the average neighborhood ride. Master these basic skills before you hit the real dirt and turn those obstacles into something to look forward to.

These mountain biking beginner skills can be practiced at a local park, school, bike path, or simply in your neighborhood. Try to find a safe location with a steep hill.

1. First Things First - Get a Helmet

It’s simple. Get a helmet and wear it. This simple concept has saved thousands of lives including my own. Modern helmets are comfortable, stylish and every mountain biker wears one. You can go to your local bike shop and they will be happy to help you pick one out that suits your needs and budget.

Some other safety equipment and accessories that I recommend are cycling gloves (I prefer the full finger style), some sort of hydration system (either a water bottle or a hydration backpack), eye protection or sunglasses, bike shorts with extra padding where it counts, sunscreen, and a shirt made from quick drying material.

2. Pedal Play - Get Used to Your Pedals

Practice removing your foot from the pedal. Do this first while sitting on your bike with one foot on the ground. Then move on to releasing and replacing your foot while pedaling around. Beginners with toe clip and clipless type pedals will want to spend a little more time here.

3. Sit and Spin For Proper Fit and Position

Sit on your bike and pedal around. Your arms should remain slightly bent. Your seat height should be adjusted so your leg is about 70 to 90 percent extended at the bottom of every pedal stroke. Keep your body loose and relaxed. There is never a situation when you should have your knees or elbows locked.

4. Shifting Gears - Learning How and When to Shift

Get comfortable with shifting the gears on your bike. Higher gears are harder to pedal and will go faster while lower gears are easier to pedal and help you get up hills. Next, try to get used to what gears you need to be in to comfortably go up different pitched hills. As the hills get steeper, it is best to shift before you get to the hill rather than while you are on the hill.

5. Stand and Coast - Get to Your Correct Body Position

Spend some time coasting while standing on your pedals without sitting on the seat. Keep your arms bent and don’t lock your knees, put your pedals at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions (horizontal). Next, experiment with shifting your body towards the rear of the bike.

You will want to be in this rear shifted standing position when you coast over obstacles or when the trail gets rough. You should be standing on your pedals with your knees bent and your seat should be between your legs. This is your primary standing position.

6. Pedal Up - Learn to Pedal While Standing

Get comfortable with pedaling while standing on your bike. Lift yourself off the seat, stand on your pedals and crank them around. Try this in higher gears on the flat and in lower gears on the hills.

7. Down a Curb - Do the Drop

Find a curb where you can easily get to the upper level. Practice standing and coasting straight off the curb from the upper level to the lower level at a moderate speed. Stay in position and absorb the drop with your arms and legs. Try this at different speeds until it becomes comfortable.

8. Up a Curb - Get Over It

Approach straight at a curb in your primary standing position from the lower level at a slow to moderate speed. Shortly before you reach the curb push down towards the handlebars to get some spring from the front tire and then quickly push your body up from your hands and pull the handlebars up lifting the front wheel up just in time to reach the upper level of the curb. Next, quickly lighten your weight on the pedals if you can and allow the rear wheel to come up to the top of the curb. Absorb any bump with your legs and continue on forward.

If you are nervous about hitting the curb with your front wheel you can practice this at first by going over a parking stall line but be careful to keep your front wheel straight when you lift it up.

A more advanced technique for getting up the curb is to pedal your way up.

Full Suspension vs. Hard Tail

The amount of bikes on the market is fantastic...there is a bike (or two) to fit everyone's needs and price range. When you are trying to decide what type of bike is best for you, you have to assess your needs. For an adventure racer the courses are generally on fire roads and rougher washboard type trails. Usually when the terrain gets too rough you are in "hike-a- bike" terrain and you will be carrying your bike regardless of what type of bike you have. That is when weight gets even more of an issue!!!

There are many different makes and models of both hard tail and full suspension bikes on the market, as well as something in between. The most important thing to remember in adventure racing is maintaining your endurance and preventing possible fatigue. With a full suspension bike you will get a smoother ride on the roots and rough stuff, but how much of this type of terrain usually causes you fatigue and time?

The full suspension bikes are now comparable in weight, but with advanced technologies along goes the increase in cost!! If you want a smoother ride and think the bumps and control on the rough stuff is slowing you down then full suspension is the way to go. Although, I have seen a lot of riders on a full suspension bikes be slower and more out of control, (not faster) because they are lacking some essential bike handling skills and think these can be compensated with a full suspension bike.

My recommendation to any one with limited riding experience is to ride a hard tail (with a front shock, as this will prevent some fatigue on the arms). Ride a hard-tail initially (a year) and get a feel for the mechanics of the bike, picking the smoothest fastest line, and being efficient on a hardtail. This will give you an advantage if and when you decide to get a full suspension. The hard tail still has its place on adventure races and you can always use it as a training bike or for those races that you know you are on smooth terrain!

The latest gadgets include the ability to lock out the front and rear shocks and adjust them to your terrain, with rebound, dampening and overall shock resistance. You can make a full suspension ride like a hard tail, but it is difficult to make a hard-tail be a full suspension!!

The full suspension bikes give you more options, but also more moving parts to repair.... and a increase in cost. Basically your riding ability and terrain should decide your bike, not the "hip-gadgets" and "trends" of full suspension bikes. I have both hard-tail and full suspension bikes and decide which one I am going to use depending on the course. If I am planning on locking out my front and rear shock the entire race, then why would I take it along?? Most adventure racers and riders do not use their shocks to their full extent.

There are some great deals on last years bikes and the best thing to do is make sure the bike fits you properly, this will also determine your ability and performance. Take a few for a test ride and ride them on terrain similar to what you would be racing.
