I noticed people complaining about the brake bumps at Lebanon, don't braking bumps naturally work themselves out of a trail? I personally never minded them and looked at them as another obstacle.

Anyone know the answer?

I think I am of your mind set too. I just keep my weight back and fly over them. But I don't think I brake on that section anyway. I can imagine though that if you want a greater sense of contol in that section they could be annoying or scary.

Braking bumps don't usually work themselves out and normally get worse with age. We had a discussion a while back on when leaving them is an option. For the most part if they aren't an erosion issue they are fine if left alone, just annoying to some and possibly a bit dangerous for some riders.

We may address the ones at Leb, but they aren't a top priority as they really haven't caused any other trail damage.

I just road <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Lebanon</st1:place></st1:country-region> today, and the brake bumps weren’t to bad. Although when they are on a downhill part it really takes you by surprise :shocked: I think some of them should be smoothed out. Others no.
