We already know how great the trails are in Blue Derby, Tasmania, and the word is spreading far and wide. Hans Rey and Tyler McCaul are the latest big names to roll into the (increasingly less) sleepy town of Derby in north-east of the Apple Isle, and came away suitably impressed.

While the short version of their trip video features the usual styley riding and sharp edits, this longer version takes a look at the goings-on behind the scenes, the building, the infrastructure, the people, the place, its history and everything that goes into turning a town on the brink of obscurity into a thriving destination for mountain biking. It’s not that far from NZ either… why wouldn’t you?
