Hiker's STINK EYE caught on video!

I've been silent and holding out till now. I can't stand it anymore. I just gotta say it....

If I had encountered this tree-humping freak on trails in my stomping grounds in PA... on trails that I and my friends forged back in the 70's... I'd have sprayed that bi^@+ with coal dirt till her eyes fell out. Then I'd have turned around and sprayed her again for good measure. Then probably again. But not 4 times. 4 times would be excessive I think. Yeah 4 times would be too much.

Well... ya know... I was just sayin'...

sweet looking trail !!
too bad you weren't up there on a 2 smoke!!!

I think she had a case of the vapors. At least you were polite and rode by very slowly. Sierra Club types want everything their own and have no room for opinions that vary from theirs. Coexisting and sharing is not in their vocabulary.

I'm glad that someone actually noticed the awesome trail...good for you! Brett, who was in front of me, was on a Honda CR 250 and Joe, who was behind me, was on a KTM 300 smoker.

Maybe were all assuming she was upset about the exhaust smell.

I hear that eating berries and granola gives you really stinky gas.
Her "partner" probably held it in all day, you know how women about those things. Good thing you didn't stop to say "Hi" or you too might have surcome to the toxic vapors.

As much as I hate to say it, I can totally see the hiker's perspective. 2-strokes STINK. Yes, us gearhead types love it, nothing better than the smell of premix in the morning and all that, but the average 2-stroke smokes like a rolling tire fire. Especially when ridden by me, perpetually off the pipe. If I do three laps around my house, I can see a haze settling in my neighbor's back yard. Seriously. Not too many folks like this.

That said, the hiker was being an ass with the nose holding.

I can't wait for the smokeless DI 2-stroke...

Interesting that most of these comments are more negative towards female hikers then the gesture she made about dirt bikes

Nice! I'll look for her Monday. Gonna hit that trail up with some buddies. I live so close and haven't ridden it yet this year.

I find it very offensive that you ride in such a beautiful arena. I think if you would had have your cologne on that day you might have got lucky. Tree huggers are very fury and down to earth. Well, at least thats how they portray them in that movie "without a paddle". I would roosted her for that foul set up. Looser bark biter.

Dude, you need to jet your bike properly. No way should it leave that big of a witness in three laps.

Actually, during harescrambles I have found that following guys on 2 strokes stink less than following the overheating, oil burning, race gas wasting 4 strokes...

Heck, I love the smell of castor oil & race gas in the morning.....Smells like, victory.

I can see your point Coffee, but let's not forget that the lead bike slowed down & said hello. I thought the guys on the bikes were as polite as one could be in this type of encounter on the trail.

Motorcyclist don't shut down trails to hikers, but hikers get trail shut down for dirt bikes. I thought her actions profiled what she thought dirt bikes do to the environment & to me that's not good.

Precisely! It's been pointed out in another post already but deserves repeating... I'm sure the two hikers didn't WALK to the mountain. The hypocrisy is what irritates the fool out of me. "HEY! I gotta great idea... let's all jump in the Excursion and drive 50 miles to the mountain so we can hike 2 miles!"

Ahhhhh............... I just try to treat folks the way I would like to be treated. If I come across people mtn biking or hiking or horseriding, give them some room if possible and back off if possible. This stuff is all of our domain until dictated differently. It's fun to stop and talk to people using other means of transportation if they're willing to talk. Guess I want to go overboard to show I'm not an braindead a$$hole on a dirtbike. Should I feel that way? Ideally not. I blame it on quads
