Hey dirt riders. I just thought I would like to put up this post after reading some of the stupid bullshit that has being going through this forum(off-road) lately. Some of you people need to grow up and learn how to respect land an other people. I think this is an important part of dirtbiking and their is too many big headed riders out there that need to calm down and show some respect or we have accidents or we get our riding areas taken off us.

A few years ago I saw one rider being irresponsible by trying to drag race somebody down a gravel road and basically ended up going off the road and crashing, killing him instantly.

I know in a way this is part of what we do as every ride , we sign the forms and say we give no responsbitly if anything happens out there to us.

So please guys just take it easy out on the trails and out on the track and pay your respects to everybody else, so not to ruin every other riders fun or privilages to ride.
Thank you,
WM

Well said. Zerax and I were up in the Moutere Forest today for 3 hours or so, and met one other pair of bikers coming the other way, who were going a sane speead, and keeping left to allow for instances where other bikes may be coming the other way, which was fortunate, as Z and I were able to pass them without incident.

Occasionally Z and I find a track, as happened today, which ends up running close to a farmhouse, or similar, and there are livestock wandering close to the fenceline, in which case, we slow big time, or turn and ride out to avoid spooking the animals.
