5.3. Rules of the Trail
1. Be prepared. If something goes wrong while you're riding off-road,
the closest help may be miles away. See Section 8 for the equipment
you should take with you on an off-road ride.
2. Don't ride alone in remote areas. Even when riding with others,
make sure that someone knows where you're going and when you
expect to be back.
3. Surface hazards make off-road riding much more difficult and
therefore more dangerous than riding on paved roads. Start slowly
and build up your skills on easier terrain before tackling the more
difficult ones.
4. Learn and obey the local laws regulating where and how you can
ride off-road, and respect private property. Don't ride where you are
not welcome or where you are not allowed.
5. You are sharing the trail with others - hikers, equestrians, and
other cyclists. Respect their rights, and be tolerant if they
inconvenience you.
6. Yield right of way to pedestrians and animals. Ride in a way that
does not frighten or endanger them, and stay far enough away so
that their unexpected moves don't endanger you.
7. You may be riding in sensitive habitat, so stay on the designated
trail. Don't contribute to erosion by riding in mud or with unnecessary
sliding. Don't disturb wildlife or livestock; and don't disturb the
ecosystem by cutting your own trail through vegetation or streams.
8. It is your responsibility to minimize your impact on the
environment. Ride accordingly. Leave things as you found them; and
always take out everything you brought in.
5.4. Downhill Mountain Biking
To ride downhill at speed or in competition is to voluntarily assume
an increased risk of injury or death. When riding downhill, you can
reach speeds seen on motorcycles, and therefore face similar
hazards and risks. Wear appropriate safety gear, including an
approved full-face helmet, full finger gloves, and body armor. Have
your bicycle and equipment carefully inspected by a qualified
mechanic and be sure it is in perfect condition. Consult with expert
riders and race officials on conditions and equipment advisable at the
site where you plan to ride.
Ultimately, it is your responsibility to have proper equipment and to
be familiar with course conditions.
WARNING: Downhill mountain biking can lead to serious accidents.
Wear appropriate safety gear and be sure your bike is in perfect
condition. Follow all instructions above. Even with state-of-the-art
protective safety gear, you could be seriously injured or killed when
doing downhill mountain biking. If your bike has suspension, the
increased speed you may develop also increases your risk. When
braking, the front of a suspended bike dips. You could lose control
and fall if your skill is not up to handling this system. Get to know
how to handle your suspension system safely before trying any
downhill or very fast mountain biking.
