Video: Conor Macfarlane Rides Big Lines in 'Rift'
 | All locations are within an hour or two of Queenstown. I chose the locations as they were areas that would film well and could build features. There’s not that many areas where you this kind of biking works well so when you find a location you need to make the most of it. |
| I have always enjoyed doing tricks so that would probably be my favorite part, the table and step down. |
| Finding locations that don’t require tones of digging is always a mission so trying to find natural landforms that can be ridden with little shaping is always the hardest part. |
| This was filmed over 4 separate days, some full days some part days but then there is all the behind the scenes that goes on, scoping, digging, editing etc. Shoutout to FSA for supporting me from the beginning and giving me the opportunity to get out and film sections like this, cheers! |

How about the bike able to stand on its own. It's the new e-balance.

By using CSS... and it's grossly over-used.

Hey Connor, how about giving us an unedited helmet cam shot of next years Mega @ Cardrona? I'd love to be able to see just how much faster you go top to bottom than I do...

Editing was Raaaaaad..... especially loved the transition between the drone movement and the camera on the ground. Brilliant use of stock footage as well, the planet spinning, wheels spinning....brilliant.
Loving the editing guys....

This was absolutely great! On a side note, whenever I see that Mons gear I am reminded of Mons Venus in Tampa, FL......and that could not be any further from the topic of mountain biking............
