Might in the near future but I'll just sail over the rocks so I hopefully won't have to brake much, only problem is there is loads of pedal sag! Can't wait till I get a full did frame though!
Haha, I suppose it is, but I find spookywood far too pedally, even if I don't brake much, but the bits after dont need much, I just hold on to my bike and literally let it do most the work. Haha, good old trusty shred.
Did you not have a chain tool?. emmm, after the fireroad, on the way down from the top car park, stay on that track, the one marked red/black, when you eventually get to a bit where it's like a mini clearing (not far after where you ride though the wall) you go back into the woods and there's a track up on the right (looks kinda new) (and it's marked as a black route) head up it and there's roots and 3 foot drop then a good berm and a step up, which is pretty floaty, and this track just joins further down the track.
I've only ridden in the Sth island...it's beautiful...the Nth Island has Rotorua..an Mtb mecca by all accounts...really, you can't go wrong in NZ. Bike friendly all over...
book as soon as possible queenstown this summer is going to be huge! have a look and see if it is within your budget to get here? gondola will be sick for dh and freeride jumps and north shore stuff too. also check out wynard jump park from this episode. big freeride jumps
Oh well... Ermm i just checked and i'm working sunday but not saturday, so i can meet you on saturday What kind of biking are we gonna be doing? like... downhill or freeride or just the routes? To be honest i would prefer to do the downhill or freeride cos i've done the red route at AE too many times lol
