The bike is set up XC but I want to try some downhill type stuff. Do you think I should ride my Heckler or rent a DH bike for the day. As for equipment, I ride a KTM 250EXC and have a full face helmet, pants, jersey, chest protector, gloves, knee, elbow pads. So I think I would be OK for protection.
