Woohoo I am on the New Zealand Jetboil team. I am really stoked to join Jetboil. I'm looking forward to using their equipment from one day MTB missions through to multi day bike packer backcountry trips.
Couldn't be more ecstatic about how this cover turned out for the August Mountain biking Australian magazine. High five to Grant Stirling for taking this banger photo, his first MTB magazine cover. Massive thanks to all my sponsors for making this possible especially Mike and Sandra from Santa Cruz bicycles New Zealand and the crew at Ground Effect clothing
This has been on my list to do - an overnight stay at Rocks Hut in the Richmond Forest Park. The trip involved riding up to Coppermine Saddle (stashing the bikes in the bush) followed by a 1.5 hr walk into the hut over Dun Saddle.
Stoked! Super pumped now to be sponsored by Night Lightning for lighting systems for my mountain bike adventures. They are made right here in Christchurch, New Zealand. I have already been out on some evening shreds, loving the even bright light that they produce.
I am very pleased to to announce that I am now an ambassador for Absolute Wilderness outdoor food which is made right here in Nelson New Zealand.
Just finished up a great day today building up my new Santa Cruz Nomad at Avanti Plus, Richmond. Fuelled by Sublime coffee and donuts Gazza did a stirling build of this iconic trail bike.
Every year Ground Effect Clothing select one lucky community with a MTB trail thats needs some maintenance or a trail that needs to be built from scratch.
As operations manager/landscape architect for Dirt Art trail builders - the NZ arm, I was stoked when Director Simon French invited me to join him building a trail in the Northern Territory. It’s a part of the world I hadn't visited before.
We had a few laughs building up the 2015 Santa Cruz Jackal recently at Avantiplus Richmond. Check it!
Thanks to Mike and the team @ Avantiplus for making it happen and Cheers to Mike and Sandra at Hyper performance hardware (Santa Cruz bicycles New Zealand) for there amazing support.
