Something that everybody is missing is again the safety issue, not the DH/T-shirt brigade/XC crap. Riding up a blind dangerous piece of track is just senseless. On top of that I don't think that the problem is so much the Downhillers, who, yes, ride fast, but are under control. The problem I see is the riders, who think they can ride fast, who also ride down the "big berm" and who have no chance of stopping in an emergency. They could be new DH riders or XC riders or fathers with their sons. I would think that the big issue is COMMON SENSE! COMMON SENSE should say that the piece of track you are about to ride up is blind. Don't ride up it!! There are very few pieces of trail that are like that, so why ride up them???? There are also better trails around these dangerous parts, most are more fun to ride up. Now just to put flame to petrol, why would signs work?? When last did you see a Capetonian stop at a stop street sign in their car?
