The first one was from the &#8220;Vintage&#8221; Vault of 2006 and the second one was from a ride from about a month ago.   I have ridden the Cowboy trails a handful of times between the recording of these two videos and I had finally gotten through the three main down hills routes off of the ridge.   I suppose you could do some laps out here and do more than one downhill in an outing but for me I have usually had my fill after one.   There is a lot of MTB per mile out here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the downhills:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Boneshaker<\/strong>:  Oh man this is a fun descent that will test your skills.  There are some nice drops and other technical features that will keep you on your toes. This was featured in my vintage video of my first visit here.<\/li><li><strong>Bomb Voyage<\/strong>:  I consider this the most technically demanding route and has some squirrel moves coupled with some exposure.   It feels the scariest.<\/li><li><strong>Bob Gnarly<\/strong>:  I heard this trail described as &#8220;90s Downhill Tech&#8221;.    For those of you that are not of that vintage I would call it &#8220;On the Ground Tech&#8221;,   It is often tight, twisty and narrow.   Not bermy bike-park vanilla flow stuff.   I consider this the easiest of the three descents but not easy.<\/li><li><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-bright-red-color\"><s>Rock Garden<\/s>:<\/span><\/strong> This is not only the list.   While you could ride down it, the main traffic it sees is the the equestrian tourism traffic which I find the trails to typically be chewed up and riddled with horse poo.   <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter which route you take if you like rocky desert tech you should have a good time out here.   If you need a bike, both the Trek and Giant stores in town typically have rental bike available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center;
