Looks like it is all rollable from that vid. Tricky and long tho - be cautious. More technical than GT red IMO

I rode it last weekend when I was up for the NPS dh race. About 15 minutes long, no real jumps just a fw awkward rocky bits. Lots of shore/woodwork, a few small climbs. A bit of a giggle and the sign at the start says designed for xc bikes...

You'll be fine and it's worth a go, so's the dh course though even on a small bike just for the laugh.
