Ride Rotorua's Top Ten trails: Part 1 - Te Tihi o Tawa - Spoke Magazine

http://youtu.be/gLATHbFj9Yo
Now you’ll have to excuse the two giggling little Aussie girls in this video but Ride Rotorua and Graeme Murray are working on a project to attract more Aussies from across the ditch to Rotorua. Over the next 10 weeks they’ll be dropping a new video each week which showcases one trail and at the same time a local legend. For the first one we get Gary ‘Gaz’ Sullivan showing us the best way to start Billy T and that’s with Te Tihi o Tawa. It’s worth noting that Graeme Murray filmed each one of these clips in just three hours!

VIDEO | How Santa Cruz Designs Full Suspension Bikes

Janet Kan November 21, 2022

Kiran MacKinnon is a human dyno. When Santa Cruz Bicycles needs to test, experiment and validate suspension then Kiran is the one of the main people we call on to do that work. Not only is he an extremely talented bike rider and incredibly knowledgeable about suspension, but he can actually interpret and translate what he’s feeling in a way that he can communicate to the rest of the engineering team. This enables them to cross-reference the data they’ve collected with real life, on-trail experience to build better bikes and provide the right setup for our riders. We’re constantly refining our VPP™ suspension as well as the damping tunes shocks we spec on our bikes in order to make sure our bikes ride really, really good.

VIDEO | Scratching the Surface – Caleb Holonko

Neil Kerr November 1, 2022

Kona Gravity Rider and North Shore native Caleb Holonko has been turning heads with his classic mix of heavy hitting and super stylish riding. On a recent visit to the Kootenays with his Process X, he teamed up with local filmer Logan Williams and put together this solid clip that just scratches the surface of what both Caleb and the region have to offer.

“Throughout my life, I’ve spent many summers road tripping to the B.C. interior with very minimal exploration outside of Christina Lake. After seeing so many friends post and rave about the amazing trails, I decided to venture to Castlegar and Nelson for my first taste. Man, did it deliver! Endless single track, crazy woodwork, and some untouchable flow trails! It was great to put my little flair on trails that I normally would just chill through.

Thanks to all the trail builders that are killing it out there! I would love to buy you a bunch of beers, ya’ll are crushing it” – Caleb Holonko
