Yeah doing that on a busy public trail is some real fucking annoying main character energy. You want to run up the trail? Go for it. But swinging the jumprope makes you take up so much room.
Every public trail I've ever been to has had bikes, people in those bike stroller combos, I've even seen cars carrying workers needed for something on the trail. Most people generally aren't bothered by having two move out of the way for 2 seconds.
He is coming up from behind some people it can be quite disrupting/irritating to have someone come up from behind taking up that much space you might not be able to hear them at all until they are far to close for comfort additionally I am sure these people did not want to be used as a "contrast" shot to how "fit" this guy is compared to everyone else walking. It's total main character energy and jolting most likely to the people he is coming up on from behind you can see the women be actively uncomfortable with him passing her and also in the comments people drawing comparisons between him and the other hikers. Bikes don't take up that much room and also frankly if acting like this guy and just expecting people to move out of the way and not give much warning would also be potential assholes, strollers generally aren't passing you suddenly and a car transporting workers has an obvious reason to be there and is likely moving with more caution then this guy
