As one of several trails in the block of harvested forest known as 'The Challenge Block', Boulderdash is suited to experienced riders who like to test their skills on an unusual occurrence in Rotorua - rocks. After the initial high speed straights on the first 2/3 of the trail you're into a few corners to slow your pace. A choice is next: the left hand line is an easier (but longer) trail to the bottom. The right hand line features short but sharp rocky sections, including a large roll-over boulder with a couple of lines on it. If you're not feeling super-confident it may be worthwhile stopping to check it out before launching yourself off it.
