Sounds like a guy new to riding, that's excited about it if maybe a little misguided that could benefit from a little mentoring.
The posts suggesting to drop him point to a problem in our sport. Often new people come out to ride, and rather than trying to teach them to be better riders, we try to drop them, and rum them off. Only after they've proved they can hang do we even begin to talk to them. Unfortunately, many give up from frustration before they ever reach that point.
I understand there is a safety dynamic at work behind this exclusion of new riders. But perhaps we'd be better off if we tried to share our knowledge and experience, grow the sport, and make new people into safer riders.
