Those huge holes and braking bumps are a direct result of having allowed the Nevada City Enduro race to happen. Flow trails are not suitable for racing. They're built to control speed with grade reversals so that when you find the right speed you need neither pedaling nor braking to optimally control your speed. But that's not how people race.
