So I’ve just got back from a trip to Central Otago for the first Yeti Tribe gathering (although I was on my Tallboy). Most of the time was spent in Wanaka but yesterday I did have my inaugural Skyline experience which was pretty fun. It was an action packed weekend involving Heli drops, Sticky Forests and a ten hour teams race at the Deans Bank trail near Dublin Bay (where Annabel Langbein lives, for all your cooks). A Wellington based Yeti even smashed out a sub 30 minute lap in full Yeti sweat suit!
Kashi Leuchs from Yeti NZ had a full fleet of demo bikes on hand including the yet to be released 5″ SB95. It was a medium so I didn’t get a chance to ride it, but from all accounts it’s pretty fricken amazing. There were also a few SB66s around and even an old DH8 pull shock.
We’ll be dropping a full story on the event in the February issue so keep your eyes peeled, and the Yeti Tribe Facebook page has plenty more pics.
haha that yeti’s sending it!
Damn, so it is real… the SB-95 that is
dum photo i can easily tell that the yeti is some guy in a costume
