I have decided to write this blog post for two reasons. Firstly, I am tired of posting on instagram, where I find I don't post many of the photos I like so much. And secondly studying a degree that is boring requires frequent breaks and the odd moment of creativity and fun. These images are all from the past 3 years, with a large batch coming from 2019 Crankworx Rotorua when I was on my gap yah!
This isn't quite one of the mad photo epics that you see on the home page but I thought I'd give it a bash and see if anyone would enjoy it. If anything I hope this little post puts a smile on your face and gets you stoked to get out and ride or take photos again. Enjoy! These first few images were all taken at Crankworx Rotorua, which was the most incredible experience and I urge anyone, if they have the opportunity to go! Watching the top dogs doing their thing on the live streams is insane but seeing it live is an all new world.
A sad year for Emil in terms of riding but he still put on a masterclass

No better place to be than Rotorua
These next few images are a random collection of images taken of a mate of mine and a few from Dirt Wars UK. Jack Corbin throwing some shapes, with his trusty steed in the next-door image

Many of you are probably the same as me and love riding for so many reasons, from the social, to the scenery, the adrenaline, the speed and the tech. For me the social side of riding and meeting many other people who are so passionate about the same thing is awesome. Mountain biking as a whole is a great community to be in and its a sport that spans so many countries that is almost like a universal language that builds relationships between people and keeps the sport as sick as ever.
I get that this is a strange post and is not the normal kind of thing you'd see anywhere, but PinkBike is a great platform that gives so many people a voice in the sport so I thought I'd give this blog thing a go and see if anyone liked it.
