Can't help in person. Check out the trailbuilding tips sticky especially the IMBA stuff. There's alot of good stuff there.

When you rebuild pay attention to the structures strength. Here in TO there has been some building of structures in the Don and some are good and some are bad.

Remember that you need to build them to last. I remember seeing something that Dangerous Dan said about this in regards to strength. Build it like your going to ride a 250cc moto over it.

Forgot to mention that. By the way Pedal magazine had a thing on the Don this month and mentioned structures. Especially liablity with being either to high or weak. Basically build as needed but don't go to high as that will cause closures.

Recently noticed some structures torn down as where unsafe, rickety and scary.
