A couple of weeks back we got wind that One Square Meal (OSM, the popular food bars made by Cookie Time) were teaming up with Vertigo bike shop in Queenstown to bring the latest in MTB downhill tech (Zerode) to Queenstown MTB Club members. The… More ›
TRIPLE CROWN, TRIPLE FUN.
‘Super D’ style races are the future, just ask anyone who turned up to race Sunday’s Triple Crown event in Rotorua. Full blown XC guys went head to head against full blown DH dudes and full time trail riders over three solid courses. Bikes ranged… More ›
SYNDICATE DOES S.A.
I haven’t even watched this entirely but just wanted to get it online before Caleb did! Sure it’s worth a watch though as Santa Cruz’s Syndicate team hits the South African World Cup round. More ›
KB TAKES CODGERS SUPER D
It’s Super D season, with Queenstown’s edition last weekend won by Kurt Lancaster, this week’s being ‘Codgers’ in Nelson where Kieran Bennett took the win, then this coming weekend the Rotorua Triple Crown kicks off. Let’s hope this trend continues! Codgers write up (from Nelsonmountainbikeclub.org.nz)… More ›
LAPIERRE DOES S.A.
I bumped into Team Lapierre’s Sam Blenkinsop yesterday in Rotorua which reminded me I’d seen this vid and it needed posting. A couple of hours later I was home and low and behold, an email from Sam’s teammate Cameron Cole was top of the list,… More ›
ABD LANGLANDS GRIP PREVIEW
Caleb’s tripping around the North of the North at the moment (well, Auckland) and this morning he popped by to see the folks at Avanti and ABD. The first news of interest is that SPOKE‘s good buddy Paul Langlands is teaming up with ABD to… More ›
AKRIGG DOWN!
Trials and street guru (and Red Bull Mini Drome London winner) Chris Akrigg had a pretty gnarly off yesterday. “So yeah, shit has hit the fan. Fell off a cliff yesterday and broke my leg and wrist.” Get well soon! Hopefully someone was there with… More ›
SCOLSEY TAKES ON SOUTH AFRICA
A few things surprised me on this Friday morning: 1) Matt Scoles can use a computer; 2) he managed to set up a blog; and 3) he can write! Scolsey penned (well, typed) an update about his experiences in South Africa at Round 1 of… More ›

ORANGE XAR HERE NOW!
So a few months back at the Single Speed Worlds in Rotorua Caleb was all stoked on his new helmet, the Giro Xar in metallic orange (which he wrote about HERE). Heaps of people were stoked on it too and dug the colour, unfortunately Worralls… More ›
TWR – PRESEASON
Somehow I let this clip slide right through my fingers. Trek World Racing in Iberia, looks like good times. No doubt the rest of their series ‘In Pursuit’ will follow as the World Cup season unfolds. I guess we’ll see Round 1 from South Africa… More ›
PIVOT M4X BIKE IS RAD!
I’m a sucker for a solid four cross bike, and this little beauty is destined for New Zealand shores. Production should be hitting here in November…. Choice! Four inches of travel, DW Linkage and 142mm rear axle spacing. More photos here. Vid from Pivot at… More ›
MC GAZ DOES THE OTTER
You’ve seen the vids, now read it from the horse’s mouth. Kelly McGarry hit Sea Otter, built up his sweet new Diamondback jump bike (above) and blogged about the experience. Rad. “I’m over here in the good ol USA now! Driving in BIG cars, Eating… More ›
