TTFs on TrailDrop, Rock Face, Rock Garden, Wallride
A Bouddi classic Skull Cave is a fantastic trail winding through Bouddi greenery down to the water. Beware though, there are a few challenging features worth scoping before dropping in blind. When the trail begins to steepen watch for a steep rock garden into a gap drop, followed by the infamous Skull Cave rock roll!

Should be a double black it is very hard
Haduj
This trail is insane!! Should be double black, is way harder than Thredbo. If you are an intermediate rider take a rope to help walk the rock roll. Builders, if you see this, please put a b-line coz I almost died trying to walk this thing. With ur permission I would be happy to build one for u if u want.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
