Descender yields (for XC).
Rider following must call out first to pass.
Rider leading will determine when to pass.
When a B line comes up – use it.
Better riders will always pass without causing problems – that’s what makes them better.
People who punch MTBers are not proper MTBers ( just a very naughty dooshbags).
Snowbroaders belong in the snow.
Riders who use helmets cams – all the time - are setting themselves up for a punch up.
It’s nothing like warm apple pie.

reasonably confident

cops are reasonably confident they know who this guy is. considering this "news item" has made it to UK then I don't suppose he will remain anonymous much longer.

Seriously, some of you XC geezers are so uptight. No shit is was analogy. But I just like picking holes in peoples arguments some times.

This happens to me all the time. I am always slow up the hill and all the whippets come zooming past. It's then always those guys that I catch paddling down the other side.
As many have said before me, the easiest method is to pull up for awhile to get some clean track in front, and then bomb away trying to round them all up.
Win, win, everyone has fun and no ones ego gets bruised by being told they are too slow.

what this shows, is if you are going to come up on guys and then request and ultimately nag them to pass ... you better have the balls to back up your aggression - and what does the guy do? Posts the video on youtube and complains to mummy and anyone else that will listen that he got punched.
sometimes you have just got to sit back and not put someone under that kind of pressure and I know where I would have put his GoPro .......

wouldnt have hurt to wait
guy in front is a tosser but seriously the guy behind could have simply gone - this guy is a tosser and i will give him some space/time. Just like the racer boys who wont say hello or yell track on a weekend trail ride - there are wa+*ers everywhere.
Love the Port hill trails

I've been following the VORB thread on this and from the various clues and Google have figured out who the guy is (it's been a slow week at work). Turns out he was a pro XC racer in the early 90's. If you look closely at his frame it's a very cool old school Fat Chance Ti frame, he's definitely no punter, but he does have an anger management problem.

Bike Videos
Slightly off topic but
the video was much better with a rider in it, you can see the lines, you can see the jumps, and its easier to picture yourself riding the track and behind someone.
Can I suggest that anyone who wants to make a video of a bike track should follow someone around it, not to close, maybe 3 or 4 metres behind. Organise it properly and there is an opportunity for advertising on their back or backside.
What do you think?

Heard that the local constabulary have figured it out as well & arrested/charged him with assault.

yes, it is first revealed in this thread only a few posts above yours, and inclusive of a link to a media release.
If he was a pro XC racer, now he's a fat slow old rider like me !
