What do yo know about a ride Called "Doctors" OR
"Bong Hit"

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: mattb.netDoctor%206Open ↗
