We have been seeing this cropping up on our local trails here in AZ recently. Shortcuts to bypass the original technical bits. I even had to call out a guy who rode over the brush and deadfall we had used to block a shortcut.
In regards to the article, I love tech trails as much as anyone, but why mess with an established trail? Just leave it alone, aside from maintenance/cleanup. If the trail isn't hard enough for you, go find something else to ride.
