Rock Candy, Woodhill mountain bike park.

The Dad's Army lads hit up Rock Candy a mountain bike jump track in Woodhill mountain bike park in Auckland.
I see if I can get over the jumps on my E bike, a Specialized Levo turbo.

This was probably one of my favourite clips from Best Day Ever MTB so far. Stellar work.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Thanks Troy. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@edknight5888]

hahah gotta love the groms, gr8 vid mate. Hopefully I catch you at the 2w

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I plan to be there. Had a big fall yesterday so feeling rather sore but should recover in time.

[@ZYadao]

I don't know about the contradicting advice but if I had a son and mates cheering me on, it's worth it. You are a legend Lance.

[@mycoolcar]

Now lets see all of Dad's Army clear the table top jumps in the Airfield (by carpark).

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Graham and Zak were playing on that recently. May need to check that out.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Hello from Scotland. I've picked up on a few of your vids now. Great editing and very engaging. Hoping to get down your way at some point. I'd love to create a vlog down your way 🤙🙌

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I loved riding in Scotland. Hope to get up there again to visit the in-laws and do some more riding. Hopefully next time I can hook up with some locals who know there way around. NZ is a great place to ride if they ever let anyone in again.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

@@bestdayevermtb2 I'd happily show you around mate. Are you guys not allowed on bikes just now?!

Great vid and a great fun looking trail, keep it up and pump pump pump lol

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Thanks. Big heavy e bikes are great with a bit of speed and momentum but tough when you have neither.

[@TiaanMarais]

Great video, great riding! I just really need to work hard on my jumping. 💪🏻🤙🏻🤘🏻

[@randommountainbiker9305]

Two questions. #1, how do you get to this trail, and #2, if you can do drop zone, is this easy to work up to?

[@bestdayevermtb2]

It is very close to the start of set in stone. It is harder than drop zone but you could work up to it. Good luck

[@randommountainbiker9305]

@@bestdayevermtb2 Just an update, I recently did the drop and the step up. Still need to work up the confidence to hit up the rest of the track though since I am pretty new to hitting gaps.

[@olliesmith687]

OH MY GOD

[@MrDamburger]

This looks ultra fun, getting my first bike in over a decade in a few days so might see you fellas out there on my new marin San quentin 2?

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Sounds like a good idea.

[@bryanm9880]

Why when I watch all these Jump instructional videos, they say "get in attack posistion, part way up the jump, stand up etc etc" Then I watch people jump like on here and it just looks like they stand up kinda tall the entire time?

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I must admit the mechanics of jumping can be complicated and I do not claim to be an expert. Some jumps I do virtually nothing but ride off the lip, others I will compress the bike into the lip then stand up on take off. I think lots of practice is the answer.

[@beast_thanos8783]

im going here tommorrow and i am not the best at mtb. what trail would you reccomend

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Close to carpark is the family trail and togs togs undies. Good place to start. My advice is talk to the staff there. They can give you a map and work out a good route for you.

[@beast_thanos8783]

@@bestdayevermtb2 ok I just left i went on a harder one and did ok thanks for replying☺

[@aceventura8966]

Great vid Lance. It gave me the inspiration to try. Drop in went fine...jump out less than perfect as I tangled with that tree on the left side. Dusted off and will try again after a bit more practice. Perhaps Chinese Laundry will help!

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Glad you liked the video. Stay safe and have fun.

Was out at Wood hill today but couldn't find this area? Where abouts on the map is it?

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Follow the start of set in stone. There is a sign along there. Good luck.

[@thelightningsnakes32]

Literally just hit this today! Hadn't ridden wood hill for a long time.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

It is quite a fun little trail.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Have fun

[@alwynvanderlinde9507]

No video of the airfield in woodhill!? Those jumps are very flowy and easy. Especially the few down the bottom closest to the car park. Great little area for anyone to improve their jumping skills. A video pushing dad's army's limits at the airfield will be a huge hit!! Cheers

[@bestdayevermtb2]

We have discussed doing that. Maybe in the winter. The guys don't ride there much during the summer .

[@alwynvanderlinde9507]

@@bestdayevermtb2 is that because of all the sand?

It is great to have a place like Woodhill. It is sand based so when all the other tracks are unrideable it still runs mint.
