I can see "the trails are too crowded to be enjoyable" for some riders on the North Shore. They are wanting to rip the downs on the popular trails, but there is already a train of riders ahead of them (I prefer jank and technical climbs, so it isn't bad for me **yet**). But jank, rather than flow, reduces the speed difference between user groups, so more jank or technical-trail-features that force a rider to use more body english, or to ride around as a form of speed chicane, could possibly reduce ebike problems.
