Fuck…

You were going fast too. So fucking dumb
Is that a multi-use trail or a bike only trail?
That’s the smell my finger video couple damn they’re everywhere
If the rider hit these hikers then they’d also hit a crashed rider. Or a bear. Or a fallen tree. Or another rider stopped to fix a flat.
Just because a trail is ‘bike only’ doesn’t mean there will be no surprise obstacles on it.
The rider is an idiot. They should’ve hit the brakes.
$30 solution to this issue. Much cheaper than a busted bike and doctor bills. You can’t prevent stupid people from doing stupid things, but you can let them know you’re coming… https://mtbbell.com/
This is in Kicking Horse, a lift access DH bike park.
100% the bikers fault
The rider had plenty of time to stop, but chose to maintaine speed and go around off trail where they lost it.
Still not understanding how goin a foot off trail caused him to crash, other than being a poor rider going too fast for his pay grade.
I’m sitting on my couch with the sound off.
Had to set my buddies shoulder on the trail and limp down a mountain because of this.
Some idiots were hiking up a trail with two dogs. The trail was super rutted and there were a bunch of little step downs. On that rail, you are basically riding in a ravine. There is nowhere to go except down the trail. To your left and right there is a rock wall then poison oak. No way to ride it except down, and single file.
These ding dongs were hiking up it, and we came around a bend on a steep section and my buddy hit the brakes and went over the bars. The only reason I didn’t hit him coming from behind was because I heard him scream. It was a blind corner.
Friend dislocated his shoulder, and we were right at the top of the mountain. We watched a YouTube video about how to pop it back in, did so, and limped down to the car and went straight to the emergency room.
Really shitty day.
I love the trail runners with headphones on in the twisty windy single track during peak Midwest summer wearing a dark tshirt…

I’ve yet to be in this situation, but if I ever find myself having to bail or go through a hiker on a bike only trail…RIP hiker
