So signed up for the 4hr deal, had a blast did:- greenhorn, alpine, outlaw, tempest, breakout, so now i need a downhill bike and the gear etc, defo going back.
Managed to get massive blisters from the thin grips ie the skin fell off but I didnt. a great way to spend a day, managed to do about 11 runs repeated some so I could go a bit faster, legs felt a crampy 230 so called it a day and relaxed
 
One of their rentals a mongoose boot r i think, glad i didnt take my 29er it would of been trashed, did a few little jumps and kickers, certainly used the travel available
 
Lots of fun to be had. I did the DH thing around 5 times between Whiteface and Diablo. Crashed hard once each time! Nothing lasting outside of scars but good hard crashes that always somehow missed the pads. You made the right move renting the bike. FYI, they usually sell off their rental stock at the end of the year.
