On the drive back from the DME last month with da man Ricky Pincott and Micky, conversation turned from bikes to trail building and the Slackboy told me of a project that was rumoured to be underway in the Rai Valley, between Picton and Nelson. Apparently Kurt Lancaster and partner Olivia Johnston had acquired some land and were building trails all over it… what a great idea, I thought. Now the great idea is a reality, and damn if it doesn’t look fantastic… check out their plans for a flow park in this video from Stash Media Works and Cactus Outdoor.

Press Release | RockShox Product Announcement MY23
Sram/RockShox – May 27th, 2022
Our new suspension started from a blank sheet of paper. We set everything aside and started with one question: how can we continue to elevate every ride? The result is a revolutionary system designed
to deliver unprecedented control, muscle, and performance. New chassis designed with industry-first damper technology, reinvented air springs, a host of new technologies to mute trail chatter and win the fight against friction. Suspension that has the confidence to meet the demands of riders today and empower them to take the sport somewhere new tomorrow.
What a cool little house!
