Not sure how it works anywhere else,but here in the SouthEast,these little rules of thumb always worked 4 me.
If someone catches U,they're faster.Let em by.If the trail is wide,go to the right.If the trail is tight,slow down just before U get to the next place to allow a pass,so the other rider can see which line you are going to let him/her use.NEVER STOP to let 1 by.U are racing too.U gain nothing by slowing down a faster rider.U only hurt their results,not help yours.Always let a faster rider go....
execpt....
If U do all this and still get cussed,blocking is a must.Since their mamma didn't teach em manners,U can.
If I come up on a rider going much slower,I yell to let them know I'm there so that I won't surprize them and cause them to wreck.I think it's the polite thing to do.
If U cacth back up,it's a race.If U pass them back,don't let em pass U again without a fight.
If U catch someone,U are faster.Get around as fast as possible.Rev the motor,then,if they don't let U pass at 1st possible place,yell.(I go Woooou !!!)If they don't let U at next place,yell continuoiusly until they pass another place.Now they R fair game.Put em out of your way.This is racing,and learning good manners will help them in the long run.
This is nicer than alot of the fast GNCC riders will be.Alot of them will give U just 1 chance to let them by before they park U.
BTW,I don't hate motocrossers,just dislike impolite people and those who think their sport is tougher when they haven't tried and probably couldn't hack mine.:eek: (and all those aren't motocrossers:D )
Sorry 4 the long post:o
