Endless Summer Riding in New Zealand – Video

Sławek Łukasik, a downhill racer who rides for the NS Bikes Factory Racing team, is spending this winter in New Zealand. For the most of his time he’s working on his fitness and skills, being a pro racer he needs to train and ride a lot. Timed runs, analysis, suspension tuning, more timed runs and strength workouts make up most of Sławek's day. But with that kind of schedule, it’s easy to lose the simple pleasure of riding a bike.


Slawo doesn’t forget about the laid back rides, without a pressure of the stopwatch. Flow, sunshine, beautiful landscapes, nature. Quite the contrary to the winter time in Central Europe. Rude Rock (Queenstown) and Gnarly Nun (Christchurch) are the definition of flow! This is the thing, that got all of us into mountain biking.
