Best thing I ever saw from that trail is back years ago when it was new some pro nose bonked the redwood stump on the left side of the trail at the 8:35 mark in your vid. Sick stuff.
Perhaps the best(?) Soquel Flow trail vid
I know there's a million Soquel vids on YouTube, but this guy, Casey Mulligan (I don't know him), absolutely rips.
Good for some rainy day watching.

First 3 sections had so many braking bumps when I rode it a week ago. Kinda ruins the flow when you’re getting rattled to death.
Place has become overrun with ebikers and dorks who found mountain biking at the beginning of the pandemic. Shame.

Yeah, I basically reset my expectations when riding Flow. So I expect craters, with sections of flowing relief. Fortunately, I do enjoy bumpy terrain (in other words, am not that good of a flow rider anywaysFirst 3 sections had so many braking bumps when I rode it a week ago.

If there’s anything we could do to see more enforcement of the no ebiking rule at demo, I’d be happy to see my tax dollars at work.Newbees on hEavy bikes
Braking bumps have been there since the start of Flow. No better or worse since the advent of E-bikes. Full disclosure: I play for both teams. LOLIf there’s anything we could do to see more enforcement of the no ebiking rule at demo, I’d be happy to see my tax dollars at work.
I’m not against ebikes entirely. Just against ebikes at demo. Seen way too many careless hacks on 50+ pound rigs there to believe that they aren’t a major contributor to bad trail conditions.Braking bumps have been there since the start of Flow.

I blame ibis riders with a lack of skill braking all the way down the trails. Can we get those types of riders banned too?I’m not against ebikes entirely. Just against ebikes at demo.

That's the first hate on ibis I've ever seen on the interwebz. Give that man a badge!I blame ibis riders with a lack of skill braking all the way down the trails. Can we get those types of riders banned too?
Huh, this just reinforces me not wanting to ride "flow" trail. Like riding Hollister Hills on a moto

CDF is going to start leasing mining claims in those braking bumps.

I've been making braker bumps on my enduro and XC rig on that trail since it opened in 2015. Although, I'm no beginner. My ebike is the best on the braker bumps. Its weight and suspension tune keep the wheels planted. If anything, my ebike is smoothing them out.If there’s anything we could do to see more enforcement of the no ebiking rule at demo, I’d be happy to see my tax dollars at work.

define careless hack....................someone faster than you......................or someone who skids in the berms..........or an enduro racer getting ready for a race. ...................I’m not against ebikes entirely.

When we were getting ready for the enduro race there in 2014, we'd ride Coralle, Braille, Saw Pit, and 3 and 5 of Flow at as close to race speed as possible. We did this for 6 weeks. I'd be close to a careless hack on those days, but I was not on an ebike.

"United we stand, divided we fall." =P
In my Ibis riding, skill lacking, [basically] all the way braking defense - I prefer to ride Sawpit.I blame ibis riders with a lack of skill braking all the way down the trails. Can we get those types of riders banned too?
