Video: 2015 Dodzy Memorial Enduro Tribute
On Friday Spoke film maker Ross Mackay and I headed into Wairoa Gorge to work on a video and photos to showcase the Gorge trails, but most importantly, to try and capture what the Dodzy Memorial Enduro event represents and what it means to New Zealand mountain bikers as well as those closest to him.
Why we ride the DME, the memory of the man, the legend of the Wairoa Gorge all rolled into one. Justin Leov, Gabby Molloy, Sam Blenkinsop, Matt Scoles and Kieran Bennett discuss what the race means to them and what made him such a special character to the New Zealand and global riding community.

What a beautiful vid! sad circumstance for a race but what a great way to honour the memory of Dodzy. Not only makes me feel good about the N.Z MTB community but this vid has me longing for another N.Z MTB trip.

the sickest event. those of us who got to go were very very lucky. Great event in memory of a great person. I heard several people comment that the gorge was by far the best place to be in nz this weekend. Cheers to all the volunteers and helpers. Also, the food was mean as so thanks for that. hope to be back next year!

Those trails look so good. What an awful story, but such a great way to celebrate his life, seems like he was highly revered.
