Unleash Your Speed in the Heart of the Mojave
The Super D format is designed for those who love the descent but appreciate a course that rewards fitness and bike handling. Unlike our standard Downhill courses, these trails are curated to be rideable for all skill levels and bike types. You will find yourself navigating the unique volcanic rock and desert soil that has made this region famous, all while competing in a format that prioritizes your best performance over two timed runs.
What to Expect
- Two-Run Format - You get two shots at the same course to nail your lines, find your flow, and shave off every possible second.
- Best Time Counts - Pressure is off for your first run; your fastest single time of the day determines your final standing.
- Full Shuttle Support - Forget the exhausting transfers found in Enduro; we provide shuttles to all runs so you can save your energy for the racecourse.
- Inclusive Terrain - The course avoids the extreme "down the face" drops, making it accessible for riders of all levels and various bike setups.
- Desert Flow - Expect a mix of high-speed sections, technical rock gardens, and short, punchy climbs that test your versatility.

While the primary focus is on downhill momentum, riders should be prepared for tactical uphill sections that require quick shifting and explosive power. The terrain features the classic Bootleg Canyon mix of sharp volcanic rock, loose shale, and fast-rolling singletrack that demands constant focus.

Mob N Mojave Recap
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is the Super D format for this event?
Unlike a traditional Enduro, our Super D features a 2-run format on the same trail where only your fastest single time counts toward the podium. Expect a heavy downhill focus with occasional punchy uphill sections that test both your technical gravity skills and your desert lung capacity.
How do the shuttles work on race day?
We take the sting out of the desert heat by providing shuttles to the start of every run, meaning there are no grueling pedal transfers between stages. This allows you to save your adrenaline and energy for the high-speed timed descents through the rugged Nevada terrain.
What are the trail conditions like in Boulder City?
Bootleg Canyon is famous for its raw, rocky terrain and loose "kitty litter" over hardpack that demands precise line choice. You will encounter technical features ranging from sharp volcanic rock gardens to fast, exposed ridges that highlight the unique Mojave landscape.
Is the Mob n Mojave course beginner-friendly?
Yes, the Super D courses are designed to be accessible for all rider levels, offering a less intimidating experience than our extreme DH tracks. While the trails are still technical, they provide a great entry point for newer racers while remaining a high-speed challenge for experts.
What type of bike and gear should I bring?
A modern trail or enduro bike is the best tool for handling the elevation profile and rocky technicality of these trails. We highly recommend tubeless tires with tough casings to handle the sharp desert rocks and full-face helmets for maximum protection on the descent.
Where is the best place for spectators to watch?
Spectators can catch the high-speed action at various vantage points near the main parking area or along designated sections of the trail. Please stay well clear of the race line and follow all course marshal instructions to ensure a safe experience for everyone in the canyon.
