It really depends on the rider and how confident they are plus what kind of trail you are riding. I try to to stay on the pipe while riding. I also run a 13-50sprocket set up.
Ride in your comfort zone! As you build your confidence you will notice yourself going faster. One of my things that I truly have faith in is to ride with people that are faster than you. You will pick up on what they are doing and in time you will become faster. I'm not saying to not ride with slow people at all! But spend your time with the fast guys and ask them questions.
Never ever ride above your head! This is how you will seriously hurt yourself. I learned this Road Racing Sport Bikes!
Last but not least! Relax and enjoy the scenery. This is not a job it is a hobby!
Happy Trails,
Boomer
