Having the extra zing of a motor makes the normally mundane Zac's look neat... I still think if they put a Y at 2:18 that gave a left side option that went down hill, connecting to Varley's to give a full downhill run to the top of Makara rd then a new track across the road running DH to K2 (Even better if they reversed K2...) then we would have an option to run a full freeride down to the park without that pinch climb at 2:19

u should really hit the kicker at 0:34, its a fairly smooth transition step up I have a feeling can be hit at near any speed and fairly straight runoff. 0:47 I'm waiting for the day someone mistakes this for a jump... The drop at 1:41 I avoided a couple of times until I walked it.. it seems a lot straighter entry into the next right, and the landing is quite smooth... 2:54 I really don't like this left hander.. it is probably the only thing I really dislike.. and can be remedied fairly simply... cut away the left side of the track and give it a lower left camber... water will flow from right to left and not dig out a trench right where we should be riding, instead theres that moment of sweat (I can hear your brakes engage) when you realise the track is wide... but theres actually not a safe path on the right... and thats where we're heading... Brake and yank it left... not smooth... Actually another fix would be a high berm on the right entering the corner forcing the exit more left... it could even exit as a step down as the speed "Should" be quite good there (Instead once your used to it you remember.. "This is "That corner, jam on the brakes and break left making it an off camber rocky front wheel loaded feature... I think my bike would survive running wide into the ditch.. only 26" wheels but 7" suspension... and my "Get off the brakes at the last second, Ride it through, hang on, stay with the bike... and hope" technique you get from riding motor cross bikes may help me... but then again I am quite mediocre in my style having really taken on proper DH in 2019.. and only really learned to drop the bike not me into corners (which on a MX bike you are one with the angle of the bike... and on road bikes you drop and leave the bike above.... But a less confidant rider that may even have walked a drop or 2 back up the track and remembers the rest of the track being a lot easier... then THIS... 3:40 Have you done that drop... it's fairly flat & leaves me a nice straight line choice off the next drop. 3:46 What say you in this left hander... It seems a little steep on the entry and kills the flow, then accelerates you a little too fast into the next right hand kink.. I'd dig about 2ft out of the top of the corner removing a sort of pinch climb into a ditch turn (because it slows riders down most end taking the low (inside) line, digging the trench deeper as they feather the brakes down the steep exit. I don't seem to be trying to shoulder barge the tree on the left behind the sign as much.. maybe I'm getting used to it... Or just slowing down even more... 5:05 have you tried hitting this Kicker on the left.. It looks way too steep but seems quite smooth to hit.. I still brace but question why when I pass over it without issue... 5:18 Seems that little lump of root on the highline into this has finally worn down. I wonder how many crashed trying to avoid it or collected it with the front.. 6:47 Man this is getting cut up at the moment... I feel if I fell off on that run into the right hander, I may not be able to climb back out of the ruts...

Krasse Strecke 🫣🤩🤩🤩🤩 Beste Grüße aus Hamburg ⚓️ Jens 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

Don't you love it when your filming and some plant walks across in front of you!. Hey you've actually got something interesting here Florian... I work just above where the plane stopped on Coutts St. Those ATR-72's (And almost everything else bar the Herc's) are barely getting their nose on the ground by that point. (The herk stopped, pulled in left just there, and is chatting up the pump attendant) Shows how the wind allows a slower landing.. (I've seen a vis of a plane landing on a river bank in Canada in the wind and it literally landed & stopped within 1 foot.) More useless info... The 1st "Incident" at Wellington Airport (New Layout).... Opening Day ! Labour Weekend, 25th of October 1959 A Sunderland Flying boat did a touch and go... (As the name implies, its a flying boat.. and was never designed to "Touch" land.... The 2nd incident.... Opening Day ! Labour Weekend, 25th of October 1959 Yep.... This time a Vulcan Bomber.... but wait.... The 3rd incident.... You guessed it.... Opening Day ! Labour Weekend, 25th of October 1959 Perhaps you should just watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIWxXqtoZrxlobM (My dad was there watching and there's a clip (I don't think it's included in this video) that actually may be him (Unmistakable muttonchops).

My fancy blue gloves are getting really tatty so i got a fancy blue helmet instead. Soo I too will try out Belmont (but maybe I'll wait for the trees to grow back. q8)

Very Nice vídeo man. Flow trail and good speed.

You know your on Red Rocks shrapnel when your wheels are constantly going 'PING' as they spit out a rock. I did this on my Foes a couple of years back and blew through my rear break hose at the top. We used to ride trail bikes up the hills all the time (away from everyone) before they shut it off for MTB and walkers... so we had to ride on the coast road with all the public... sigh. Wellington coast is extremely hard on tyres.

1:12 I would never get a good time on Nth Face... Some one stuck an uphill in it (my arch nemesis)... 1:38 Boooo you skirted the drop... q8D 2:59 I find if you managed to complete the table into this corner you land on the brakes into the hollow and thread the left fine... If you land atop the table, your light on the downside, stuffing the breaking into the left and ruining the whole set. It's the one jump I try not to be too mediocre into. 5:04 another 'dropped opportunity' q8) 7:13 ... not your favourite features huh. 7:24 I so wish they would build up the final berm... I'm usually on the way home if I'm doing Starfish.. and it just seems to be an effort getting round that low lip after such a fast entry.. and I'm too tired to get a good line... A great run... If only I had the energy to pump it from top to bottom... I really really love all the drops on Starfish now.

Ha... I knew I wasn't the only one to bypass that little drop that I should have been able to do years ago.... 1:28 Maybe I'll get it next time tho...

My home ground (I've been riding this over 30 years) 2:30 My favourite jump line... I've done it on a steel Milazo Crazyhorse in the wind and had the wheels blow sideways from under me (but landed ok). Ran out of rear brakes at that speed into the next right corner downhill (2:50)... fun. Theres an old left spur at 3:41 that takes you into the back of the coral on your left at 14:14 but I last rode that in the 80's so it will be long gorse'd over. You can still ride the hill to the left at 4:46 and come back out at 5:10. at 5:16 you can go straight instead of turning left and you drop down into the valley (though not much point unless your headed to the Wrights hill gun right hand sighting station (The left is above the Airport SE end). The fort is down the track to the left of the ridge of trees in the distance. (Above Devils Gate.. You would need to carry the bike down the last section to come out at the hut 2nd across the creek 9:33 blue shack in the distance. I take it you have ridden the bike track exit to the last section (on your right at the sign @ 6:18). There used to be a rocky run on your right at 8:00 (if still accessible it would be a G5) that crosses the track at 8:41 into the upper of the 2 shoots (You took the main (lower) one. We used to ride trailbikes there since the 80's before they shut us out for the huge amount of MTB's (and buldozed one of the most scenic sections at the bottom of the track from 5:16.. 20 years later it has almost got back to the tight twisty creek following run it was... No mountain biker rides that valley more than once... you can't ride out, the tracks are too gravvely.

Have you tried the Mr X entrance into Deliverance? It inserts you at 2:07 on your left. (There's a video on how to find MrX in my channel.) I usually find Im dead by the time I get to the climbs at the end... but I guess EMTB helps for that. q8)

0:59 I don't really like this jump in full daylight... q8D

Genial.. wie immer!!!

Wie immer genial!!!
