I do not understand how hikers can see literal gap jumps and think “hmmmm, yeah this must be a hiking trail!”

[@Vibe4ant]

Because most of them say share the path both parties have to keep an eye out. Yes they shouldn't put themselves in a spot that they can't be seen, but you can see them move to the side if he did hit the jump.

[@chrisb7051]

They moved to the side and were fully aware he was coming. They did absolutely nothing wrong. The uploader just made some absurd clickbait out of a nothing video

-Hey, the hell do you think theese jumps are here for? This guy: Howdy

[@zsnow4768]

I had something very similar happen to me once. Unfortunately it was a lot farther of a drop down than this one so I didn’t see the family until after it was way to late. I ended up bailing off in mid air and luckily the bike went to the side enough to hit a tree and not bounce or roll through the family. Then I absolutely ate shit right in front of a whole family who didn’t say sorry or try to offer any kind of help or anything they just looked at me like I was stupid, ignoring the fact they were literally right beneath a wooden drop feature on a mtb trail. Edit: Also I understand that a lot of trails are shared but the one I was on was mtb only, as it obviously was a jump/drop line. The trail this guy is on also looks a lot more like a mtb trail look than shared trail because of all the small jumps and that drop.

[@jpesicka492]

Should have said something

[@AdamArtzi]

I hope you yelled at them and told them all the swears you know. This happened to me once me and my friend told them to get the f*ck off. I now think you should’ve actually hit them. Also happened to me once that I smashed my handlebar into a child’s head because of this ( it was a jump and because the child was so small I couldn’t see him at all). I felt bad because it was a 5 year old (at least it wasn’t that big of a jump and not that fast), but I was really mad at their parents for literally being near but not moving the child of the trail a bit. People are dumb.

[@altonb93]

Never bail. Let them experience some pain for their poor decisions. Dont injure just yourself for avoiding them. Make sure someone gets injured with you if you are gonna go down anyway because of some dumb hiker on a mtb trail

[@zsnow4768]

@@altonb93 Idk man, it’s pretty easy to make it out fairly unscathed from a complete bail, can’t say the same for holding on and plowing through people. Probably a decent chance that I could gotten more hurt that way given I’d have way less control over the situation.

[@randomistmech]

This is a common feature on some of our trails with massive "BIKE TRAIL NO PEDESTRIANS!" signs. The worst are very small dogs on extending leashes, you just can't see them in time... If they're nice, I'm nice, if they act like I'm the one in the wrong, not so much. It's usually option 2.

[@Patrick-zr8tv]

Idk if it's different in other places but pretty much every time I've come across a mtn biker on a hike we've had a good chin wag at each other. I don't know any other hikers that wouldn't do the same. It's just cool to see other people out in the bush enjoying it as much as you are and it's always a great chat.

[@joelrunyan1608]

[@WestonNey]

I can’t stand people who bomb down hiking trails at ridiculous speeds, and I REALLY can’t stand hikers who walk on MTB trails. The amount of places we have to ride freely is already so limited.

[@TescoRoadman]

I don’t know a single person who bombs down hiking trails, but anyone who walks up MTB downhill trails is a complete idiot. They’re risking themselves as well as the guy on the bike who needs speed to clear the gap in this video. Imagine if he didn’t see the people until later, slowed but still went off the gap

Similar thing on the newly, beautifully redone Ridgeline trail here in DuPont. Lady with trekking poles right in the middle. Stabbing away at the new smooth and packed surface. Also, I noticed fresh horse shoe tracks dug into the trail surface. I can’t imagine it’s an enjoyable trail to ride on a horse. (Can’t we have just one trail for mtbers? It’s painfully obvious it’s a special purpose trail after all.) #ridgeline #dupont

[@SiMPLYHaZZaRD]

Yeah Ridgeline should be bikes only... I don't get it either.

[@ACBYT]

DuPont is a fully mixed use park, the only "special purpose" of Ridgeline is that it starts at the top and ends at the bottom. As much as it sucks, hikers and horses have as much right to be there as we do.

Hey can you not hike on biking trails? I’ve almost hit a lot of walkers

[@phillvallace]

​@@ryanbenjamine2592 If it's NOT restricted to bike access only, one way of travel. It's fine for people to be on trails that bikes use as long as they are being weary of their surroundings. Where I am, basically all the bikes tracks are also shared with walkers & even the ones that are meant to be restricted to bikes travelling one way can still have people doing orienteering events and such on them so it's always good for all parties to be keeping an eye out for each other. Some bikers out there do think they are Evil Knievel & don't think about possible land slips, fallen trees, lost children, wildlife etc it's always good to beware and not have a wish to brake your collar bone

[@TescoRoadman]

I don’t slow down for hikers on MTB trails. I continue at full speed. They shouldn’t be on the bike trail so idc if they get injured They’re already putting me in danger by being on the trail in the first place. I might need speed to clear a gap or a jump and suddenly there’s some idiot walking in the middle of the trail

[@nommchompsky]

@@TescoRoadman Almost none of the trails in public areas in BC are bike only. I'd be willing to bet that this is a mixed use trail and that there is a bunch of signage to make sure everyone knows, so maybe tone down the tough guy rhetoric and pay attention to whats in front of you

[@eastwood111]

Props to you for being polite about it!

[@MagicalBread]

When I was a Boy Scout the local scout camp had miles of trails which also happened to be a hot spot for mtb. Hikers and bikers have to share the trail so every time we’d hear a bike coming we’d just step to the side and let the bikers pass.

Thank you for being a good representative for our hobby. All too often I see other mountain bikers flying past hikers and totally disregarding other trail users, it’s insanely disrespectful on multiuse trails which is where I see it the most often. Still though, it pains me so much to see hikers on our own trails CLEARLY meant for bikes😩. Who tf is stupid enough to see a jump trail with a huge friggin wood drop and think “oh that’s a good hiking spot!”. Hikers, you guys have enough places to walk, please stay off our jump lines, I see this at one of my local riding spots too (Pacifica), which clearly is a spot just for mountain biking. Anyways, sorry for ranting, it’s just annoying because, In my area at least, mountain bikers are running out of spots just for bikes
