One way signs
. Had a couple of close calls just recently. As a newb can someone tell me the etiquette for oncoming traffic, if someone is flying down, I get out of the bloody way if I'm on a slow climb. Had a couple of times where the gumby just didn't budge and I had to go off into the boonies to avoid a head on. Perhaps they were just inattentive so I wasn't fused but It got me thinking perhaps as a novice I've got it wrong?
The commonly accepted rule is downhill riders give way to uphill, but it is a stupid rule based on driving on icy roads. Sure it can be hard restarting on an upslope, but when you have worked for the downhill section, you should be able to enjoy it without being on notice to stop in every circumstance. My personal opinion is that all trails should be marked give way in both directions and leave it to riders to do the right thing - like you have been doing.
Just a comment on the berms. One of the early posts asked for really steep berms. They do look good, but they also blow out because they physically keep almost all wheels on a line limited by the steep face. So you get a trench forming above the gorby line, but lower than ideal for a fast rider. Progressive, but not greater than 45 degree faces are best. They can still be big.
My vote is for flow, good scenery and a variety of natural and manufactured features that challenge all riders, if at different speeds and on different line options. I like trails that make you smile rather than hurt.
