Spotted this video of some trails around my home town.

Next time I head over to NZ I might have to take my bike...

Here's some more details on the trails:

I'd probably only do the Kumara to Hokitika leg as that will be the most scenic and away from the roads.

The video shows part of that section.

I find it oddly satisfying watching the suspension work so well on such a smooth trail. Love the go pro view and awesome trails - reminds me of the gate downwards on the quarry climb on cascades Sticking out tongue

Cheers!

Jono.

I'm heading to Greymouth on Thursday to ride the Croesus track and a couple of others. I will be attempting to take some footage of the tracks so if all works well will post it up.There seems to be some pretty epic stuff on the West Coast provided it doesn't rain. (which is a pretty big proviso)

I'd be taking the wet lube and a spray jacket or two.... be interested in the video though.

Hey Donkerr,

That trail looks pretty sweet, I watched a video a few weeks ago.

You flying to the top, or riding?

Have fun, and keen to see your footage when you're back

Cheers,
Mike
