New Zealand has been in the MTB press of late and there's good reason for it. New Zealand is a Mountain biker's paradise. Landscapes so diverse in terrain and mountain bike trails the same. Mountain biking hot spots from Auckland to now world famous Queenstown, Rotorua, Taupo, Wellington, Nelson and Christchurch the list goes on. So much trail goodness in between to satisfy every Downhill, Enduro, Cross Country and back country mountain biker.
The New Zealand Government and DOC the (Department of Conservation) now also see how great mountain biking is with more new trails be opened for Mountain bikers as we speak. Local support in trail building is coming from Trail Fund NZ helping fund the local trail networks and building of more sustainable trails. It's not just the now that is great riding in New Zealand, but the future of mountain biking in NZ is in great shape.
So whether you're a World Cup Pro or you just love to ride, New Zealand has it all. Mountain Bike events litter the calendar, with amazing races in stunning locations through out the country. There's good reason New Zealand mountain bikers are on the rise to World Cup podiums.

Will also be heading to Napier so @glenno cheers for the heads up, I've been to Napier and filmed before, never ridden. This is where I filmed, www.pinkbike.com/video/245623 I am going to go ahead and assume that's some where near the 80km of single trail as I've seen a few maps and there was a TON of riding near where I filmed.
@glenno yeah we've got some loose dates but will definitely hit you up on here when we are heading into Napier! we'll be doing trail riding! I think we'll be around Napier on the 21st of April!
@jcupit yeah mate, we're heading to rotorua for 2 days, riding the Whakarewarewa Forest trails with the southern star shuttle fellas!! are you a roto local??
I just meant it wasn't the raddest mountain bike video I've seen...but I had just watched the Ratboy ripping it up in Portugal just before so anything would look dull after that!!
