It is more than simply dangerous.

Section 11.2.2 Examples of Misconduct
Unsportsmanlike conduct
Dangerous riding
Making an abrupt motion which interferes with the forward progress of
another rider

It is also against the rules. The offending rider can be penalized up to
and including suspension. This sort of thing needs to be reported to the
officials. Postings to the OBRA list serve are not likely to reach the
rider that was breaking the rules and putting people at risk. This is not
behavior that should be tolerated. Allegations such as this need to be
reported as soon as possible after the race with as much detail as possible.
The race officials then need to investigate and make a ruling.

First, I would like to thank all the guys who let me and another female
racer by on the single track sections. Thank You!!! Unfortunately I
understand there are some guys who are not so nice and have purposely
experienced it! I asked a male racer to please let me by, he refused. Then
when I asked again, and asked him please I might be winning my category
(which I did win once the results are fixed, so you only slightly slowed me
down), he purposely slammed on his brakes right in the middle of the trail!
I crashed into him and went over the handlebars straight onto him and his
bike. We are lucky no one was hurt. The last two times I went over my
handlebars I broke collarbones both times...very expensive situations. This
racer might want to think twice about purposely crashing anyone out in the
future for it could lead to a legal situation! It is very dangerous and
someone could really get hurt. It is not cool to crash anyone out in a race
on purpose. Further, it is not cool
to crash anyone out on purpose in any situation...period! At the very
least, those of you who tend to do this...you might want to consider the
possible damage to your bank account.
