There are a number of speed controlling humps to mitigate water and prevent multi-user conflict. At just the right speed, you can avoid pedaling or braking before the next berm.

Steep and rooty entrance at the top serves as a filter feature, letting trail users know this is a technical trail. Expert level familiarity with equipment and bike handling is required to proceed.
Third berm in contour line section. This area is a popular deer habitat, so you'll want to be alert, especially if undergrowth is dense.

Back into the deer habitat, you'll want to keep your wits about as you pedal into the next berm.
This is singletrack.
This is the second berm, seen from Jay's shortcut merge; it has a little step down rock edge to prevent gravel from eroding the berm.
Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum) is a fast-growing, invasive grass that threatens native plants and natural habitats in the eastern United States. Whitetail deer do not eat the grass, which enables it to spread more quickly.
This is the first of several berms snaking down the hill to prevent erosion from fall lines and provide excellent traction in corners. Jay's shortcut trail (for park staff vehicle access) merges with this at the bottom of this particular trail for 50 ft.
