Default use a spotter

I had my annual visit to Silver Lake Sand Dunes this past weekend. I had a great time. For those of you that have visited there, you know that it has directional traffic. Well, someone with a nice new and expensive hummer overshot the top of test hill and like a retard, stopped about 60 ft on the down side, A guy that had been following me all day on a dirt bike( a very good rider) shot over the same spot about 2 minutes later and ran right into the hummer. I am posting this as a lesson for everyone. If you stop on the downside of a steep dune, please have whoever is riding shotgun slap the **** out of you for being dumb. If you are jumping without a spotter, make sure to remove your helmet first. It makes the dunes safer after all of the "great riders" are weeded out. Seriously, anyone who was there could do nothing for this guy except pray. I really wanted to just go slap the driver but they didn't know what they were doing anyway. He had too much money and not enough brains!
