For the uninitiated, this is the reality of riding in fesh fesh. Without notice the ground gives way and jettisons talcum powder like dust into the air. Until the rider hits it there is no warning of how deep it may be, nor what debris lies hidden. Knee depth washouts filled with fesh fesh and rocks are a nightmare for riders.
