Floppy Bunny Loop Map

Similar to Bobsled, Floppy Bunny is a very short lap if done on its own, but most people use it as a warmup lap before hitting the gnarlier trails higher up Mount Fromme. Unlike Bobsled, Floppy Bunny does get a black diamond rating, although some local riders will argue that it's a light black diamond.

Description

Regardless of the rating, for advanced mountain bikers, Floppy Bunny provides a substantially more entertaining ride than Bobsled. You'll find some fantastic hits and features on this North Shore-style flow trail. Most of the corners have berms to help keep the speed high, but you'll still have to negotiate some rocky, technical sections in between the berms... it is the North Shore, after all.

Floppy Bunny includes a few great senders for some fun air. There's one or two big wooden drops, as well as a big roller drop feature at the top, which can be bypassed. The big wooden roller drop at the top is actually the most technical feature on the entire trail. If it looks intimidating, take the alternative easier entrance, and you'll still likely enjoy the rest of the features lower down.
