I have been riding the IMBA Epic trails. So Bootleg was up next. I am not a downhill rider. So as far as the XC trails, they were fun. Best is the USA,, Not so sure. It was small packed rocks. Dry and dusty. I rented a bike from All Mountain Cyclery. DO NOT RENT FROM All Mountain Cyclery. These guys took the good components off the Stumpjumper I rented. I called ahead for my bike. I got there and it had a flat, did not have the pedals I had requested. Was not checked from the day before rental. After the mile or so ride to the trails, I only got to ride IMBA, POW and Par None. These were easy trails, but a good warm up. After hitting the Mother trail, the cheap replacement derailleur and chain broke. When I got back to the shop, I stood in line with other renters with broken bikes. Not sure what happened, but the guys at AMC accused me of crashing. Not a scratch on me or the bike. Then they changed their story to I shifted wrong. I asked for my money back when they tried to charge me f

This is one..if not the best trails I have ridin'. I've been riding out there for over 2 years now and still find that the trails are teaching me to be a better rider. There are still several obstacles and areas of trails that I have yet to master and new trails to ride. I have yet to ride any of the downhill stuff, but I hear it's awesome and if you go to youtube and type in Bootleg Canyon there's a 10 min homemade video that looks pretty sweet.

Guys this trail is super fun I recommended, I tried to complete it two weeks ago and couldn’t, today was a different history. I did it and it was fabulous.

I must say that is my rating on all the trails at B.C. Mtn. Bike Park. This is one awesome place for anyone to ride. If you are a beginner you must be careful because some of the trails are for the more experienced riders. However if you are careful you can tame them all. The downhill rides are for the experienced downhillers. If you are afraid of steep drops and wild jumps you may want to stay on Girl Scout. Who knows maybe that is why I do. Watch out for sharp rocks. There are many lava rocks that love to eat tires for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. However, there are several tires which will withstand the elements better than the others. Check out the March or April Mtn Bike Action. They did a test ride on some tires at B.C. Mtn Bike Park. If you want a fun ride this Bike Park is a blast. Recommended for everyone to try. Great job on all the trails. This is a good place to learn mtn biking techniques for anyone.

When your up for a fun fast ride this is the place to go. It's not to far out of Vegas takes me 20mins from most places "I also know the area well". For a start you'll have to do something easy like Girlscott which is aswome everytime. Park where the bathrooms are then bike up the trail about 4 miles you'll come to a quick step up hill and on the left the fun begins. If you like speed head right insteed of left dont worry it takes you back almost at the start of girlscott so its hard to get lost. If your a down hiller head to the top thats all I have to say they are very very fast and will take no more then 25mins to get down. "You can beat the shuttle if your crazzy enough" Ride this rock you'll never forget it.

A great place to ride. Everything is well laid out and marked. My favorite ride is Girl Scout up the mountain to the Caldera loop and back down the West leg. My first time riding here was confusing however. For newcomers you have to go past the parking lot with the bathrooms and the cross country trails start just past there at the top of the hill. Bootleg Canyon has a website which is bootlegcanyon.com.

Just moved from Vegas to the east coast and I'm missing Bootleg like crazy! Simply the best mountain bike park in the country. Something for everyone!
