Great video once again Blake, but one gripe about the pump and tube. I will always stop if I see another rider working on their bike and offer a hand but won't give away my spares. It's like a tube cost that much but once you give it away then you don't have it for the rest of your ride and you'll be the one replacing it. Just my 2cents.

It really depends on the trails in question! If you're riding highly technical and rough trails, some bikes just aren't going to hold up. A trail 6 isn't setup for really rough downhill style trails and you just look like an idiot who will likely need air rescued after his frame cracks and you go tumbling in to a bunch of rocks and roots. They don't need tragedies happening on the more dangerous trails. I assume this was the scenario, otherwise there wouldn't be a bunch of full sus bikes with full face helmets around to give two shits about you.

I do agree on the point of respecting other trail users, but I remember that one time during the summer I was riding my local enduro course with my mate. The course is quite steep and has many blind spots so it’s definitely not the place to find a horse rider standing in the middle of the trail with his horse. He later gave out to us and complained that we were rolling too fast down the trail and we should take more caution. 😂

In the Moab area some visitors seem to have problems realizing, understanding, or adhering to the following (no particular order): 1.) Please do not ride trails that are wet/muddy/snowy/etc. the groves made in the soft desert soil/mud harden into concrete-like tire ruts, which are a lot of work for Trailmix (our trail builders) to fix, and are a safety hazard for beginners and experienced riders alike. And riding around mud puddles causes damage to the desert. Please see # 3 below. Go and get your pump on the slick rock if it's wet out. 2.) Please yield to horses, hikers, and uphill riders. The trails in Moab are on public land (BLM, USFS, etc.), and many are designated multi use. Also many trails are two-way traffic where uphill riders ALWAYS have the right of way. 3.) Please do nut cut corners. The desert soil/crust is fragile, and if you ride of trail the damage you cause can take many decades to recover, if at all. 4.) Please do not have external speakers playing your music. The music you love, might be shit to others, and the sounds of nature are way better anyway. 5.) Please pack it in and pack it out. I.e., don't litter! In fact, when you see litter from others, pick it up and pack it out. 6.) Regarding the point in the video about not having the right equipment to fix a flat: Please remember that some traveling riders might be renting, and the shop may have neglected to include the right equipment. A beginner or a really excited traveler might not know or just forget to ask. It is also possible to have two flats in the same day on the same ride. So yes, everyone should be prepared, but also everyone who has the ability to help should help. We are after all on the same team. Happy and safe riding to all!

What bothers me are discussions about safety equipment. Some skilled rider might shred a trail pretty hard with only some knee pads and an open helmet, when anotherone uses a fullface, eventually a vest too, and gets overtaken by many. Don't make fun of them. Keep in mind that some people need protection to be confident enough to step out of their comfortzone ridingwise and evolve. Another possibility, the rider has kids, a responsible job or an important appointment coming up and has to minimize the risk of injuries.

When I lived in San Antonio there was an extremely fun area called Parkwood. Mostly a freeride and downhill area, some of the XC riders did use it, but it had some blind spots. It was rather customary to announce when you were dropping in just in case there was someone you couldn't see and hadn't heard yet. In big enough groups we'd post spotters who would signal if something happened.

The problem with calling “on the left/right” is that they didn’t hear you coming so you surprised them. They have to make a split-second decision which way to go, and what they actually heard was “[mumble, oh wait, somebody’s talking to me, I’d better pay attention]eft!” from which they’re supposed to figure out that you said “On your left” which means “Please move right.” No wonder they go the wrong way.

I ride mountain bikes as well and I ride horses. Once in Germany I was taking the boss' horse out for his afternoon stroll and I was just off a mtn bike trail. They didn't see me and I (and the horse) didn't seen them until they were on us. I heard a clang clang and I think it was chain slap. Suddenly the horse just bolted for an open field and I know what it feels like to be a jockey in the starting gate. And then they were gone! Poor Aladdin didn't know what was going on but I don't blame them for scaring the poor beast, just the wrong place at the wrong time.

#3 is really post ride :). I learned #5 the hard way. I was going past thinking the trail belongs to me (it doesn't) and some pedestrians/hikers were walking along. I was shouting and gesturing for them to move, well because it's my trail (so I thought), and as I was going past them one took a step back and knocked by pack just right which pushed me into a rut. I tried to manual out of the rut, but I was travelling at a good clip and I lost control. I went down hard and I ended up with major rock rash, plus I broke my derailleur hanger in the process. I learned a hard lesson that day, the trail does not belong to me.

I've never had a bad experience with hikers, but none of our trails have full on backpacking hikers with massive packs. They are usually just day hikers and typically take one step to the side of the trail before we even see them. We cruise on by and say "Appreciate it, thanks, have a great hike". It's so much easier for a hiker to hear and see us and just take one little step left or right off the trail. This whole idea of "yield to hikers" is simply ridiculous and even they know it's much easier and quicker for them to step aside and we're out of there vs making us try and navigate around them where something could easily go wrong.

The part about respecting other people on the trail is why so many trails have become closed to mountain bikers in California. Too many entitled people go out of their way to antagonize others who eventually get fed up & vote to keep bikers out.

I was about ten metres from the trail riding my bike with my dog ! An elderly couple were walking towards me with their dog ! We stopped as the dogs greeted one another. Then the woman started shouting at me for riding in the no cycling zone ! I looked at her husband for help! But I realised it was him that needed the break for a moment!! I took it on the chin momentarily then went on my way!! Sometimes rules make people mad !! Some of us should be more dog! Even paradise has rage luckily in very small quantities and most of us run cameras 😂

I had to deal with a hiker on a double track that was hogging the whole trail as I came up behind him. I said excuse me and when I got a clearing passed him with plenty of clearance. He grumbled something about how I'm supposed to say "on your left". My wife was further back and when she approached he was on the left side of the trail so she passed him on the right. This time he told her that you're not supposed to pass people on the right. I'm sorry but if it's double track you should be courteous enough to stay to one side.

Came down a trail once this last summer and came across two dudes but only one bike standing around looking for something lost... Car keys, I imagine. The older one had a nice scowl on his face so I kept going. Get down quite a ways further and there's a bike all by itself sprawled out in the middle of the fing trail! I got off my bike and picked up their bike and placed it about 5 feet off the trail... But, boy, was I tempted to Huck that thing into the bushes.... I figured losing your keys or whatever was punishment enough and by noticably moving their bike they may have got the hint.

Also had some jerk rider a couple years ago descend on me while I'm climbing and yell at me for not yielding trail! He then went on an expletive riddled rant as he skidded off trail and continued on, flipping me off over his shoulder. I was stunned. Everyone knows or should know, up hill has right of way. I yelled back at him the uphill trail rule but I don't think he heard me. Some riders, and I think more often now than when I started riding 30 years ago, are self centered and entitled. People would rather ride off trail around you than stop, put a foot down and be friendly... SMH

@@davidkline4372 It really depends on the scenario. It's all about the timing of when the two riders cross paths. Sometimes it's just easier to go off to one side to bypass the uphill rider versus trying to stop in time if it's some kind of surface that makes stopping difficult. Or maybe it's a blind corner and the downhill rider was just in that zone and simply wasn't thinking at the time that a rider could be coming up around the bend and..... walla... now they have to make a decision and it's often easier to just once again go off to one side and bypass the uphill rider vs risking a head on collision. I actually prefer people to just keep riding and get on by me if the scenario allows for it. I don't know many places, at least my area, that this doesn't work just fine.

Only real case of bad ettiquette I've seen: Riding along and two guys walking dogs stopped to talk on a narrow bridge over a creek on a mixed use recreational mtb/hiking trail. I dismounted to walk around (not safe to ride past too narrow) As I was remounting on the other side of the bridge, off to the side of the trail, two mtb'ers coming the other way bombed over the bridge. I ended up in the thorn bushes on my bum, the two idiots talking on the bridge had to jump out of the way. While the dopes on the bridge were clearly foolish and shouldn't 've been standing there, I have no idea what the other bikers were thinking, lucky the lot of us didn't end up in hospital. Lesson: Shared use trails work -- if you share. For non bikers that means not blocking the trail completely and being aware that cyclists will be riding along, for cyclists that means being careful of nonbikers. In short, all use your brains you'll be fine.

I think i might just start shouting go away at hikers on single track. Feels warranted as theres at least 5 to 10 hiking trails inbetween every mtb trail i live near , and theres always hiking specific trails within walking distance of the single track there walking on.
