I would say 4-5 pounds of air for your type of terrain.

I race XC with 5 - 7 PSI
When I ride the MX track I run 10 - 12 psi.

The lower pressure gives you better traction but the higher pressure will help you corner better. Just play around with the pressures till you find what you like.:)

Lower pressure does make it grip better but you can throw a tire off the rim turning fast if its low.
