Queenstown, New Zealand has so much to offer for Mountain Bikers. Gondola access downhill 1 minute from the town centre, trail riding a short ride away along the lake, backcountry, single track epicness with mind blowing views and some of the biggest and most ride-able jumps you could ask for. Come with us as we explore the region's best riding, with its best riders.

This will be an adventure around the southern hemisphere's greatest mountain biking destination. The teaser shows a glimpse into some of the varied riding that Queenstown has to offer, it featured the Queenstown Bike Park with Clem Mathon, Wynyard's Jump Park with Conor Macfarlane, Emmerson Wilken, Reon Bow and Kelly McGarry, and finally trail riding at 7 mile reserve with Fraser Gordon.

The first episode will follow trail builders Tom Hey and Fraser Gordon as they work on new trails as well as riding some of their fresh handy work, from the Queenstown Bike Park to the ridges of Coronet Peak and Skippers Canyon.

We would like to thank the Queenstown Mountain Bike Club for their continued work in this amazing place and their support of this series.

 I as fortunate enough to be able to ride around NZ a couple of years back. Queens Town defiantly sticks out in my head as one of the best places to ride! I love that country. Also, that road gap looks way bigger in person!

 It's hard to argue with the AB's winning 75%+ of their games all time (been around for about 130 years I believe). In saying that, they're a good team, but I just can't bring myself to call any rugby team bad ass.

As for Kelly McGarry, well, I don't know if there is another adjective that would do as good a job of describing him as bad ass.
