Dirt scooter downhill trails

[Frank T]

Two of my good friends just bought new bikes and are going to start doing trail riding. I have some woods behind my house and we are going to build some trails back there, with jumps, some drops and maybe a small ladder bridge or something. I am going to build the trails regardless(i think building would be fun lol and we can share bikes) but i was wondering if a dirt scooter would be able to work well in this situation.
I have only seen them really on just hard packed desert dirt jumps, and some light grass riding. The trails would be pretty packed, hopefully spending a good bit of time on them, but i wasnt sure if itd work well on this kind of terrain. i think it might work pretty well if the tires have enough air to get up some speed.
Does anyone have any experience on trails with a dirt scooter? or any insight? quite possibly looking to get one.

you are going to need rollers or just get really good at pumping because they don't hold speed very well unless you are on a really hard surface.

This is what I was wondering, I live in a really mountainous area and there are some really sick downhill/offroading trails. I think it'd be kinda silly to do tricks with them though haha.

Yeah, unless you have the new 100 psi tires it is going to be really boring/hard to ride downhill trails.

Dirt jumps are fun with them, but its hard to ride bike jumps because you aren't able to get as much speed as people on bikes.

Yeah, I'd probably get fucked up trying to ride the gnarly downhill trails around here, I don't know how I would stop.....
