Hi I am just wondering what and how is the right way to pass on the trail. Yes I'm the guy that likes to fly down the trail. But I don't want to piss people off doing so. Suggestions?
Passing on the trail?

I posted a thread with the proper signals for oncoming. I pass as well on trails. When I do I mach their speed and sit tight to them, constantly blipping the throttle trying to get their attention. Then first safe chance I pass them. But not blow by. Not sure if it pissed others off but that's how I get past. When others are passing me, I slow and give them the right of way. But then I'm always shoulder checking anyways.

I do but will weight for a straight stretch and go by slow....or the 1st short cut over the side, goin up or down. I have 0 patience :/

I get close and give a few courtesy "braaps" on the throttle. some hear it, some don't....if they don't, I wait until they are far enough over on a straight stretch or slowed on a corner with good oncoming visibilty and dust 'em.

Yep I try and do the same, braaaappppp a few times and if nothing then takes 3 sec to pass at right time............Some guys never look back and go from side to side, thats worst then flying by somebody at mach speed......

If it's getting dark and we're on our way down, I just throw on my high beams ( HID's) so when they see their shadow in front of them they know someone is behind
Or if it's daylight I'll do as mentioned above a few blips of the throttle and when its safe I'll go by fairly quick, but not fast enough to be picking them off with ice chunks
