The move shown in the picture above is called the "downhill inside slice" , a signature move of that particular rider.

Very effective and also notice the care taken in dust reduction by making the move on the inside grass section.

      Slower riders enter and ride at the pace they feel safe at its not a race I pull over for quicker riders when its safe for me and them
      I also put a leg out to let them know  on which is  safer for them to pass  ..

       TMB lighten up a bit that way we can all enjoy it Your comment is the reason I will not ride certain Vinduro's even thou I wold like
       to

       The Stig
     

I'm not about to abuse anybody in a non competitive environment Stig. As I suggested, enjoyment is all relative. Some people are out for a day sight seeing, which is fine. Others want to ride as fast as they know they can. That is what they enjoy about riding. And a Pre85 bike will always be faster than a pre75 bike.....
I wouldn't get all argy bargy out on any ride. Competitive or not. MX, Enduro or Vinduro. I want to go home with body and bike intact.....I'm just saying that it does get annoying when someone won't let a faster rider past, even when it is safe to do so. Believe me, I've had to let faster riders pass me and it doesn't bother me one bit that I had to stop (or slow) long enough for them to pass without holding them up. And both of us can continue on enjoying our ride at our own pace......
To me it's like that driver in front of you in the right hand lane doing 85 KM/h in a 100 zone who refuses to move to the left to let the faster cars past. Is it because they think if they are comfortable doing 15k's under the speed limit, then everybody should?

I'll do my best to roost 'em at any opportunity! Don't have to be fast to hurl rocks..

I can vouch for CanAm370's ability to do this, as I have been on the receiving end of such a volley. I wasn't trying to pass him though. In fact we were both still in the parc ferme and the event hadn't started. Where's the flamin' etiquette there?  :o

VERi has been studying this and it has been decided that what Vinduros need is a new rule to govern the etiquette needed.
It would be beneficial if all the states could adopt this ruling so as to have some uniformity throughout the nation.

I will be proposing this this is made clear at riders briefing in the future.

Well, odd1 already seems to be a big fan of riding off into the trees and staying there.
