 Is this something that would be fun for guys on trail bikes? It mentions XC trails but this seems like more of a downhill event

 1/2 of Bootleg Canyon are cross country trails. I will be riding my Giant Trance for the Gravity Fest. The cool thing about Bootleg, or this event, all riders take the shuttle. With the ride up, the xc trails become more Enduro trails. Hope this helps and I apologize for the late notice. Next year, I will get the post up sooner, but this event is always on Thanksgiving Weekend.
