Don't worry the 3 hump thing is going to be taken out because of greenway construction. I like tech flow it gets easy over time and not a big deal until you figure it out. Now ride it backwards to really mess up your flow. Flow is a state of mind not a tail feature.

Yup.

I thought on that statement for a bit.... My first reaction was, then why build trail features.... That turned in to well I can see how they add to the experience...BUT I've honestly never ridden any trail where a "feature" was the highlight of my ride... No man can top what nature does all on its own....

@cyclepath
It looks like you either routered or mitered the edges on the fifteen picture down. If it was a router bit was it a chamfer bit?

He uses a chain saw to chamfer the edges.
