Also not a bad idea to let them know what's behind you (bike/quad/SXS) if you can.

I can’t do left handed sign language that fast.

I usually just use my big boy voice and shout it.

I always ride sweep and only need one signal!

What is that signal? (If it was a joke it went over my head) I had to learn this on my own and probably looked like an idiot at least and made things dangerous at worst. I just thought everyone was waving to me, so I was waving back but only my brother-in-law was behind me. I had some waves and some peace signs thrown my way until I saw someone with a distinct three. That got me to thinking.

Is it how many are following only or would you include yourself? Do following riders signal anything? And does sweep signal something like mentioned above? And what if there are like 8 or 9 guys with you?

Sorry for the noob questions but I didn't understand this. Also, is there some sort of off-road etiquette guide?

Don't count yourself. When I have 8 or 9 riders behind me they're are probably a bunch of noobs that could be on the wrong side of the road, so I just pump my hand to signal to slow down.

Great question!  We all need to stay safe out there and enjoy our sport!
