Now I know why gals were discouraged by him. *snicker*

Just about every question that could be asked already has. Here's one that I don't think has been asked, though.
Is there anyone that the non-expert level riders should not follow? I probably can't keep up with Girlscout, so I don't have to worry about following him down any drop-offs. Anyone else who is on the do not follow list?
I ask because a friend a kayak with is notorious for taking the most sketchy lines possible. He always seems to make it through, but I had some close calls until I deciced that I will not follow him ever.
Challenging lines are awesome, but I already have bent enough stuff on my bike to meet my quota for the next couple months. I tend to ride harder stuff better by taking a good look at it first.

Don't follow Gastro. He used to race BMX and he takes crazy lines. He is not normal. He flies over and around things that will totally freak you out. Mtnbiker66 takes really smooth lines. Actually, so do girlscout when he is not droping off crazy big stuff.

Highrevs may be your best bet - he'll probably be riding somewhat sensibly wiith all that camera gear on his back.
Don't follow Hambone40, he may crash in front of you and force you to join him. Ask me how I know.
And whatever you do, don't follow me, I am incredibly slow and sketchy and I'll probably just hold you up.

Thanks for the beta. I'm toying with bringing my video camera with me, but it's kind of big and probably won't come out that much on the trail anyway. It's probably best to just use it around camp if any stunts are happening. Guess I should start putting away money towards that helmet cam I've been wanting.

I was just mentioning yesterday how much I appreciated you not running over me that day. A Yeti to the back is no good for anyone.

Good thing you always ride under control and safe.....(*holding side while laughing*).

I think me and curtis will be the only ones on 100mm hardtails, so our lines may differ slightly from the long travel duellies anyway.
Just wait for us at the bottom

You looked real in control bombing down the mountain last night on the single speed. Is the rear end supposed to pass the front...? Oh, never mind, I am sure you meant to do that.

You drift real fast...or at least it sounded fast. Hard to tell when you hit light speed...it was all a blur.

Oh ,and your avatar is just scarrrrry.Might Air is a frightening thing. Anyone can take off from a jump knowing they will land it. I take off from every jump "wondering" if I will land it. I am just as surpised as you when I land on two wheels and continue rolling a long. Thanks for getting me into this sport. At least I didn't wad it up in front of the crowd like the guy jumping before me. That would have been embarrasing.

Thats how i fly....uncertain of the outcome 
Don't see alot of air here, but look forward to racking up as much as possible down there....if i land them or not
