One of his tips was "We'd rather you don't take your hands off the bars to point out obstacles when you're riding on rough dirt or gravel; rather than use hand signals just call out hazards."
So this one guy in the group would consistently get out of the saddle and
turn his entire torso around nearly 180° to face backwards every time he would yell "HOLE RIGHT!"
:facepalm:
Yeah, those are definitely the folks you want to give a
really wide berth to!
