Give way to the descending party is pretty much standard practice for trailbike riders, 4WDers, walkers dude...Oh, Ok, if you say thats the way it is, it must be true!!!!

That is great to hear, he'll end up running a club one day and he'll be loved!Took the young fella (9 years old) out for his first run around Kurrajong at Yowies a few weeks back. He's on a 20 incher and obviously not at the peak of trail etiquette yet:biggrin:. We did about 6 ks and he was absolutely blown away at the end of it - not because of the dirt trails, the berms, etc. Nope he was absolutely stoked because pretty well every person said hi, waved or encouraged him along. His exact words at the end of the ride were "Gee they're really friendly here." I honestly don't think he had experienced it anywhere else on a bike.
Gotta agree with this, Although single track climbs are rarely that hard, stopping mid climb and losing momentum sucks but you also get a much wanted break haha. I was more referring to the safety side of things, There's a hell of alot of people out there that aren't that good on the bike and will happily plow into you if you don't get off the track. Alot of the time people are "busting their arse" just trying to get to the bottom of the track safely.If i am busting my arse to climb, and a descender can see that it is easier for them to stop than me, then surely the descender should have manners enough to think to themselves, that guy is suffering, if i just touch my brakes, i can let the guy through, and then i can get my flow back. It's much harder for a climber to get momentom back than it is for a descender to get momentom back. That would apply for 4wd and moto i am sure.
No not really, Whilst this forum has quite a big DH influence, Most XC clubs (In SEQ) promote the "descender has right of way" attitude, but what happens pretty much all of the time, both parties stop anyway and then the descenders go through because it's quicker for them to get past.I'm thinking the DH orientation of this forum influences the give way to the descender attitude.
:clap2:I prefer the adage 'sarp cunt?'
When you got off the road!!I'm with refreshinglygood....i'm if goin up....you give way to me...just like in a car, much harder to restart going up than comming down.
