Welcome to our world during World Cup season RedBurn. Normally watch races on Sunday night/Monday morning before going to work. Nothing like a broken sleep to start your week off.

Nah... That would be like putting 92 octane fuel in an alcohol funny car. You can't rev him up any higher. He could eat white drugs for breakfast.

chris7271 (Mar 24, 2015 at 14:27)

On a side note I always find it strange that 92 octane is considered high in the states. Standard here is 95 and I use 99!. Why do they not have that over there?

@chris7271 The States use a different octane rating system to us. For example, their 94 AKI is equivalent to our 98 RON

oddsketch (Mar 24, 2015 at 15:15)

AKI is the average between RON and MON ratings, so the same fuel will have both ratings. 94 AKI would be the average betwewn 98 RON and 90 MON ratings, or 96 RON and 92 MON.

Hey, Darren Kinnaird ! I am not general manager for Crankworx, but trust me, Crankworx keeps me up at night as well !And considering that most of the events are in the middle of the night for most people....I think Crankworx will keep loads of people up at night this week !

T-Bot FL (Mar 24, 2015 at 13:53)

Won't be keeping me up at night. Finally it's I can watch it during the day. When I'm at work. I'll just watch the reruns at night.

donalddouche (Mar 24, 2015 at 19:12)

Very disappointed with Rotorua so far, it costs $75 just to get into the event area if you want to watch, which only has advertising tents selling things.

The bike park is NOT included in the crankworx and gondola pass.

It costs $25 on top of your crankworx pass for every 2 hours of uplift and only 2 easy trails (which are 1 minute long) are open.

As a veteran crankworx athlete and someone who came to NZ mainly for this event i'm extremely disappointed. It feels like a poorly organised cash grab.

is this different to whats on the website, sounds strange, this is in NZD or kiwi money

tickets, not involved but sounds strange what you are qouting, r u talking about your bike as well and riding recreational?

StackingItSince1991 (Mar 24, 2015 at 22:39)

That is disappointing. Orginally the crankwork tickets were gong to entitle you to discounted gondola passes. But $25 for 2 hours to do gay-walker and simle jack (or whatever they are called) is definately a rip off.

If you dont like Skyline hit the red woods. There is soooooooooooooo much riding in Rotorua you could spend weeks there and not do it all. Get out on your bike and ride!

Your statement contradicts itself. I'm assuming you're confusing the word indigenous with native.

rickaybobbay (Mar 25, 2015 at 8:04)

Native American... i am not a Native American am I? no. I am Mexican and European, my Nationality is American, but my ethnicity is not North American (Aztec's are Central American). Therefore i would not say i am a Native American. just as if i had children and they were born and raised in NZ they wouldn't call themselves Natives. they would be locals.

mtaero (Mar 25, 2015 at 10:50)

Just look up the word 'native' in the dictionary. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/native

No, you are not a Native American in terms of the proper noun you used (see you even capitalized it) but if you were born in America, you are a native American (native used as an adjective). Now we don't say that out loud because it would get really confusing, but you can say you are an American native to take out the confusion.

What do they teach kids these day?

rickaybobbay (Mar 25, 2015 at 11:03)

he is native in the sense of nationality. but i would not refer to him as a native New Zealander in terms of ethnicity. that was what my remark was about. i was not saying he wasn't born and raised there. i'm not saying that is his native land, i was simply joking he is not a Native New Zealander, as in he isn't Maori. damn, JOKES LEARN THEM!!!
