I met a Crazy Canook that is living up there. He told me those rides exist
at Hartman.

Please Advise if they are legit. Thanks

The Doc is not at Hartman's, if I remember correctly.

JD never had a bong hit

Bong Hits is a totally crazy super-technical unofficial trail spur off
Josh-O's. I've never actually ridden it, but I've checked it out on foot.
It's got a move to start off that's an almost vertical rock slab drop of 7'
or 8' that has a horizontal seam about a foot before the very short
transition that would want to grab your front wheel and throw you into some
boulders. So it would be a behind-the-seat descent and then a quick
transition to wheelie-drop with a pretty bad penalty for not hitting it
right. It's also immediately followed by a 90 degree right turn. That move
alone has made me reluctant to give it a whirl (don't want to spend any more
time in your MRI truck), but people do ride it. There's also supposed to be
a bong stashed there somewhere, but I don't think that would help me much.

I don't know of anything at Hartman's called Doctors, but as JD mentioned
there's a ride called Doctor's Park that connects Spring Creek and Taylor
canyons up past Almont. Great ride, but not the technical DH it once was
(Forest Service "improved" it recently). Still fun and beautiful. Here's a
couple of photos of it:
