There is a trimming problem at every enduro I have ever ridden. We try to tell everyone in our club but I still see it. When cutting a "slapper" often times it is cut from a bike or the dreaded 4 wheeler and is cut away from the face creating a "Stabber or finger biter". Slappers are to be left alone or cut to the trunk of the tree which requires getting off your ride. I don't like slappers but I don't like lazy slapper cutters even more. Chad had one go clean thru like an arrow at Fluvanna and I had a hole twice as big as Cole's on my forearm 20 years ago at this place. ALL CUTTING NEEDS TO BE AT TRUNK OR DO NOT CUT. Riding in the middle of the trail and using a bob and weave body technique greatly reduces the risk of being bitten by a STABBER,FINGER BITER or SLAPPER.
Just my two cents worth
