Do you like having a spotter? Do you not like having one?
My experience: Most of the times we go out, i'm in the front of the group, blazing trails, picking where the group goes. I generally wheel with the same people and I'm very comfortable with their experience. My entire life, i've never had a spotter cause i've been in front of everyone. So personally, unless i'm doing something very stupid... I actually prefer to not have a spotter. I've learned to bump and feel my way around the things I can't see with a nominal amount of confidence.
