My cousin told me to skip the switchbacks on a trail in Colorado and go straight up
It was a huge mistake that wrecked my knees and took way longer. I should have just followed the actual route. Anyone else get bad trail advice that backfired?

Totally... those folks put in serious work to make things flow right. It's easy to just ride a trail without seeing the planning behind every turn and feature. They know the dirt, the drainage, and how a line should feel when you're moving fast. Second-guessing their layout usually just leads to a worse experience for everyone.
