There’s trail etiquette in several forms. We’ve got the etiquette towards other trail users but there’s also the etiquette towards the trail designer, builder, and maintainers.
Here’s a short video from Pinkbike with 6 items they’ve gleaned from trail builders: Skidding, Braiding, Changing Features, Riding in the mud, Riding Closed Trails, and Littering. This might generate some hate mail but give it some thought from from the designer, builder, maintainer perspective. Some trails don’t work out as intended at first and if they are driving you nuts work back through the land manager or advocacy group to affect improvements to the trail.
