So, I know pathfinder made tripping require three ffeats, but I've also seen further feats to support thing like trip. I know there's the ki throw line for monks, but are there any others that are any good for someone committing an obscene amount of feats to tripping?
I would prefer things that don't lock you into specific weapons, but I'm the GM here, so I can remove those rules if necessary.

The janni, wolf and earth child feat trees also help trip attacks in varying ways. Vicious stomp does not trip, but it stacks with greater trip to prove 2 attacks of opportunity.

This is part of my favorite trip-build combo. Vital strike, power attack, felling smash, greater trip, vicious stomp, and (if your DM allows it, which by RAW it is not) spring attack.
I had a wild fun time with this build on a one-hand fighter with a bastard sword in hand. Run in, power vital strike, trip, stab & stomp, run back out. Combine it with a speed enhancing spell and you've got a vicious little mixture, though it's very feat-heavy.
Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Bastard Sword)
Combat Expetise
Improved Trip
Greater Trip
Power Attack
Felling Smash
Improved Unarmed Strike
Combat Reflexes
Vicious Stomp
Vital Strike
Improved Vital Strike
Greater Vital Strike
Dodge
Mobility
Spring Attack
Anyway, just my two cents.

I forgot about felling smash. I am totally stealing this build and putting it on an upcoming NPC for my current campaign, because it is freaking awesome!

If you have knockback as a weapon special quality, this can be a fairly effective solo baddie against a party. I'd pickup Whirlwind Attack to go with it, just in case you get surrounded. Also, Monk can be an interesting alternative to fighter with this build.

I think I will put knockback on the weapon as well. It is for a soloish baddie, I was going for a warpriest with a reach weapon and critfishing to trip on crits. I was going to have some minor undead as speedbumps but this is even better. Adding in knockback when I already have combat reflexes is quite dirty...

Now you're getting it. ;)
If you mix in Unchained Monk, you can also grab the Leg Sweep Style Strike, which throws a free trip attempt onto an attack in your flurry, and improved trip as a req free bonus feat. (Unfortunately, Greater Trip is neither a monk bonus feat nor a qinggong ki power)
