 Just returned, could not agree more. If flying from Vancouver suggest buying ticket early to fly direct to Auckland. We did not and flew through Los Angeles, left earlier and arrived at same time as direct flight.We brought sons dh bike, excess baggage rates all over the road, keep weight below 32 kg or you guessed it more charges. Spent about cdn$350. Air NZ had a special bikes 1$ somehow this became 169$ as we were leaving Auckland.
Due to sons broken collarbone at Crankworx plans for South Island cancelled, took in sights of Coromandel instead absolutely fanatastic. Massive thanks to the medical staff at Crankworx and Rotorua hospital for the excellent care our son received.
Rode Redwoods outside Rotorua, very fun.

 NZ has some mind blowing riding available. Just don't go over Christmas and New Year if you want to ride the Skyline accessed trails in Queenstown and Rotorua as they are closed to bikes over the holiday

 Been living down here for the last 5 months, going to do a month of travelling now before I head back home. It's such an awesome place and that video gets me so stoked to go travelling.

 I wheelie like a 9 year old; maximum of about 5 feet at a time. Watching this is depressing.

 chin up man. Keep practicing and working on body position and you'll get it! Notice his arms are straight and hes balancing with his hips. One day I spent a good couple hours in my drive way wheelieing and manualing, I still suck, but that practice improved my skills a lot. Imagine practicing 3-5 times a week for an hour. We'd be pro

 Wien is the best time to go there? Could go in August/September or December.
Would go for Auckland or Wellington .
Any suggestions?

 Wellington has lots of trails, August is still winter, February is best, December is a bit mad around xmas and new years

 Problem is, my girl still goes to school. So I have to choose her vacations. In february she has only one week off. That's too short to fly from europe.
That bad around christmas?

 The weather is a bit all over the place in December - some cool days and a bit more rain. If you don't mind that, then come on over...

 Don't go to either of those cities go to Nelson, Wanaka or QT. Go in December if you want an epic summer of biking.

Very cool edits though!
