I take newbies on canyon runs ... but I adjust my riding style to "do as I do". When I'm riding alone (or out with my riding partner), my style is a bit less "disciplined". I may experiment or do some things that make the ride a bit more fun (or easier), but are definitely on the "not advisable" list for new riders.
But when I know that people are watching me (and I'm indirectly responsible for putting them in the situation to begin with), I tend to go into "safe" mode - being more obviously cautious than I would normally ride.
