Crankworx Rotorua Festival

We spent two weeks in Rotorua for the Crankworx festival - an extended celebration of all things bikes. Enduro, downhill, slalom, slopestyle - everything's covered! After competing in the Challenger Enduro myself we got up early again the next day to watch the pro's tear up the Redwoods, unfortunately the weather turned and they faced an exciting day of slippy conditions! The next week went by with a mix of biking up in the Redwoods in the mornings and then cruising down to Skyline to watch the big events of the festival. The highlights of which were probably the flood-lit night time Whip-Offs and the ground-breaking Slopestyle on the McGazza course. During our down time we soaked up the expo and I had a couple of cheeky demo laps on the 'Mr Black' downhill. We're back to Auckland soon for a well-earned rest!
