The problem is that there are few options for building completely new legal trails on the North Shore, so that to please all the new flow riders, dog walkers and selfie takers, the original trails are being poodle pathed or decommissioned to build an alternate machine built trail across them.
The original article comes across to me kind of weird. Deniz writes about people creating "ride arounds" on the North Shore, but then skips to jumping at Whistler. On the North Shore, most of the ride arounds I see, are not to avoid jumps, but to avoid steep up or down "wheels on ground (or wood)" natural features, where like you say track stands, Manuals, Wheely drops are the skills that should be practiced.
