Yes, come up and do the ride.
I'll even offer to show you all the "unknown" singletrack, BUT only if you promise to whine less on the bike than you do on the keyboard.
This is a few hours north of Kern.
Descent drops from just over 11K to about 4k depending on where you exit.
Lots of painful up involved to get to the highpoint, but then it drops uninterrupted for the most part. No time spent pedaling around on flats and only one real climb to interrupt the descent.
When you start adding up Upper/Lower Rock Creek, White Mtns, and Coyote Ridge/Flats, I'm guessing there's probably on the order of 60-70k' of combined singletrack/ATV/Jeep descents between 3-10k drops before you start doing variations. Kernville/Sequoia NF follows behind with around 40-50k' of descent.

Coyote alone provides 20K feet plus over four different routes.
The White Mountains provide 30K over several routes with many, many, many, more options to be "discovered."
Add in the northern plateous of the Inyos and there is 20K there, but much more to be "discovered" as well.
Scattered around the valley are dozens of 2-3K drops.
Big problem is that it isn't what most riders would consider "quality". The good singletrack is difficult to find and access. The easy to access singletrack is moto track so you need to have a healthy appreciation for steep whooped out ST at speed to enjoy those. The doubletrack and jeep roads are often steep shale skidfests. Many of the best descents are impossible to pedal up to and a bike that "pedals" isn't really the optimal rig for 5K+ descents on steep and loose tracks at speed. You really have to want it to hike your bike uphill for several hours.
Add in the fact that most things are wide open(high desert) with minimal tree cover and a lot of the riding becomes work once the temps climb.
Only a few of these rides can be shuttled. It's HAB and mountainbikaineering.
A lot of these rides I don't enjoy on an XC rig but I love on a 7"+ bike.
Years ago, shuttle companies tried to get something started, but nothing ever became of it. Mammoth lifts are much more fun with much less work.
sounds like my kinda place for riding!! i don't care about scenery and don't mind 6 hours of HAB! i gotta get me some of this stuff, i love raw, rough, loose riding!!
ps. i got a lighish 6 inch rig that is slacked out (66 degrees) that can handle most anything and climbs well.
I got scared for a couple minutes that you weren't going to show any single track
