What do you get when you combine a sprinters track with talcum powder dirt and perfectly built berms and jumps? Options! A track which suits both the fastest of the world cup downhillers and the local strong-legged enduro bunnies. Going into today's race no one knew who to watch. It was anyone's race.
Mr Black is Skyline's latest creation - a flowing trail that was built to replace a once unpopular, flat grade 2 trail. Built by both the Skyline trail crew and empire of dirt. The trail descends 242 meters over 2.3 KMs. Packed full of 32 hittable features.
The Open Men's/Elite field featured 45 entrants. Local Auckland rider, Josh Reiley started leaving behind 20 pro men. He went into the hot seat by over two seconds and that stood until the last seven riders started to drop in. Progressively the lead changed before George Brannigan cleaned it up by just under two seconds on Louis Hamilton. Many riders such as Matt Walker and Phil Atwill didn't start due to focusing on pump track practice.

Then again I also think this is a tactic of the USA reassuring visitors will leave their country and will not try to stay.
All this crankworx rotorua make me want to go there so bad!
Especially can't understand it if they say "I just got my own apartment" and I ask them where and they respond in the same city they always lived.
Because of this I have a strong opinion/feeling about people complaining where they live, it's their own choice.
