I dont think I can let yo have that fantasy......
A modern trail bike is good (assuming we arent talking about a Slash, or Spire or Range) but they still dont hold up against an old DH bike.
My wife had an older 26" wheeled Scott DH bike, and although it was way too small for me, I'd get on it for a half lap while she would pilot my Sentinel. It was so incredibly capable.
Side note, You can buy a pretty good condition Aurum, or Flatline, swap it to a 275 front, and have a great time with little investment. Helps to save the "trail" bike getting beat in the park
