    Jey And The Volcanic Park

    Jerome Clementz isn’t one to do things by halves. When he travels, he really travels, and when he uses his travel, he uses all his travel. Here he puts both to full use in the Pucon bike park, just above the Villarica volcano in Chile.

  • Vote 1 Enduro First

    Vote 1 Enduro First

    First there was Enduro, or whatever it called itself, but it long precluded any other uphill and downhill biased brethren of the cycling fraternity. Therefore it is superior. Satirically-themed racing returns to Makara Peak this March the 18th, and we are determined to put Enduro First. Now in its third year, the Wellington Mountain Bike…

  • The Wyn Masters Talk

    The Wyn Masters Talk

    I grew up just round the corner from Wyn. We rode bikes as kids, but I was more into nipping around skate parks (poorly) on a BMX while he got into mountain biking proper. Our interests are more aligned nowadays, and when our schedules coincide we occasionally sneak off into the bush in New Plymouth…

    Weekend State Of Mind

    This will probably be the closest most of us get to actually riding with Matt Hunter. And if we were lucky enough to, we wouldn’t be able to keep up to get this kind of POV! But we can get out on our mountain bikes on the weekend and that’s always good for the state of…

    Trying to describe a multi-stage race using gravel roads and singletrack and whatever damn bike you like seems fruitless and convoluted. The end result though is a lot less complex, and should simply be filed under “good times”. Bikes, beer, beats, dust and friends old and new: this is Grinduro. Inaugural race winner Barry Wicks vowed to…

  • Landed: Rocky Mountain Instinct 950 MSL

    Landed: Rocky Mountain Instinct 950 MSL

    Rocky Mountain is as Canadian as maple syrup, ice hockey and good buds, with a reputation for top-end bikes built to take on the burly tech terrain of the North Shore through to the hucks and high-speeds of Whistler. They have had a less than prominent profile in New Zealand, but with a new distributor,…

  • Compulsory Retirement Plan

    Compulsory Retirement Plan

    Professional sport is a strange beast. We love to watch the big game or big race, and many of us watch the small games and small races too, no matter how meaningless they might be in the bigger picture of television rights and sponsorship and advertising revenue. If it’s not rating, it doesn’t rate a…

    So Enduro: Specialized Reveal New Thing

    The secret we couldn’t tell you about a couple of weeks ago is now out in the open, unofficially with Jared Graves and Curtis Keene riding them at the EWS in Whistler this weekend, and officially with the press release below. Yes, it’s a new Enduro! All new, slacker, more travel, all the latest wheel…
