ahhh, that is totally different. if there is an obstacle with an option to go around it built into the trail, then there is no problem. my problem is with people who come to a rock or whatever, can't make it up, and ride
off trail around it, then the next person does it, and so on, etc, and after a while a "new trail" around the obstacle is created, which has potential to ruin the environment.
