Seeing where it's located it doesn't look like easy access for the intended riders, how do they get there?

…and I was starting to worry, unnecessarily, there would be no one complaining! Thank you for that, it’s good to have unmovable reference points in life. You know, there’s always the extreme option to partecipate in TM and get your input out there as well as getting first hand reasoning for the modifications being made.

It's always better to be honest and not hide behind the curtain when this type of frustration gets the best of you... but keep in mind that there are alternative options to places to go now, now that men with vaginas on mountain bikes and poor mtb skills have actually become a thing....
A combo of safari (legacy paved) and the Hewitt Butler trail I reckon, but @V-Dub @Bleeder @Jeb would be better suited to answer. Every time I go there I'm too consumed with rocks and rolls to actually learn the connections! I know the scope of work definitely considered ease of access by adaptive riders to the top.
not sure what the adaptive trail has to do with making animal chute easier, I think the adaptive trail it's a great idea.
no I think it was a plan, looks like it was done well, just it's a lot easier and more flowy now. character has completely changed.
I do tons of trail maintenance in jungle, lots of people do, on their own, outside of jorba. I ride there 30-40 times a year so it adds up. I have also contributed to jorba. amazed at how sensitive everyone is.

Weird, I thought you were the one that was passively complaining about the trail being made easier. My bad if I misinterpreted your post, apologies.
With regard to TM, it's great that you do tons of it and so do lots of people outside of JORBA, I still think that a more coordinated effort would be beneficial. Again, my opinion.
With regard to being sensitive...nah, I think you got the wrong dude. Somehow passionate maybe, but not sensitive.
not doing anything passively, just describing reality. the trail is a lot easier, as if a ton of stuff in jungle. it's obviously the plan. question is why? the trail was in the same shape it's been for the past 10 years so it wasn't maintenance it was a choice to make it easier. if anyone wants to tell me why it's a good idea I'm all ears
Difficulty as a result of being washed-out 10 years post build isn't the goal.
While I didn't do much to change the lines last spring, water shedding was high on my list.

I was usually 50/50 on that first switchback on Animal Chute... and it did seem much easier just this weekend. I was hoping I was finally getting better! Thanks for the work you guys are doing - trails seemed to be in great condition and Stags looks awesome!
or, you know, don't cut out perfectly good living trees without permission.
