Description

Short, sharp and too the point. Skid Ridge is a single trail that sneaks up on you with big radius swooping corners whittling down to hair raising steeps. Be warned Dirt Farm takes no responsibility for laundry bills incurred due to this trail and keeping those hidden Lycra shorts clean is your responsibility.
