Hanmer Springs-Riding steep wet trails. Not sure this was a good idea.

[@alec7114]

15-20 psi in maxxis minions downhill, more grip. fully pumped tires uphill, less rolling resistance

[@robmooremtb]

The one time i rode Addiction it was similar conditions. Was sketchy and fun . I'm definitely going back when it's dry for a proper nudge at it

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I have a long list of tracks I want to ride when dry. Maybe this summer is the one.🙂

[@susaneastman6444]

I was the one who put their hand up!!! (no surprise)

[@bwdown]

You can imagine what a great weekend bike trip it is for those from Chch. Nice food, hot pools and good riding. Tombstone is great although I only did it on my steamer. The climb was killer haha

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Yes it would be a nice weekend break from Christchurch. I imagine that clime on a steamer would be tough.

[@jeremyharris4415]

Awesome video Lance that track looked really nice ride. And yes I did put my hand up to tell you don’t go down it . But that was a waste of time. Well at least you was safe etc . I guess there won’t be many more videos from South Island because I did see the other day you are back in Auckland

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I was wondering if that was you who put your hand up.😂

[@livinagoodlife]

ah nice! You're in my neighbourhood. I was just there today in fact. Maybe about time I should blat about the Hanmer tracks on my Surron ;) Edit: and yeah coming down that track on a heavy Surron aint too fun tbh Edit2: Rains 1 day out of 10? Mate its rained like 1 day out of 100 down this way. Could do with shunting some of that weather you have up there down this way!

[@andyurwin-wells4425]

Hi Lance make sure you head up Fringe Hill in Nelson and also do a few laps out Cable Bay. Access around a few tracks in Codgers and Sharlands is limited at present. Would offer to guide but I'm on a non emtb..Will be interested to hear your opinion on Nelson tracks...Cheers

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Back in Auckland now. Didn't get to ride in Nelson as much as planned. Had to come home early for family reasons.

[@nickwatson1445]

Lance favourite video thank you so much! It’s awesome ❤❤❤❤ back in the day there was no trail up to the top it was literally hike a bike.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I really enjoyed it. Would have been better with some company but still good fun.

[@jakedentice3134]

when your back in welly hit up mt Victoria, got a bunch of sick tracks

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Sadly, I didn't get to do that, but I will do another trip sometime

[@MaxTohill]

I was just there but didn’t get to addiction but we did detox which was great

[@bestdayevermtb2]

It is certainly a lovely spot.

[@paulmerrilees8690]

Great track , are you still in the south island if so are you coming over to Blenheim?

[@bestdayevermtb2]

No back in Auckland now.

[@lemonadejars]

I don’t understand what the problem is Lance, that looked like a grade 3 flow trail

[@MrDschubba]

That tracks brake pad wear to enjoyment ratio was a bit high for me.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

On the video it just looks flat. Would like to do again in the dry.

[@TheTurnerturner]

Watching your vid I was thinking "you have to do Tombstone", glad you did. Looks like it has changed a bit since I rode it in 2020. If I remember correctly, the 2017/2020 means it took the trail builders 3 years to build. One thing about the South Island is that you are riding rocks, not Woodhill sand!

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Yes very different to Woodhill. I love riding all the different types of trails the South Island had to offer.

[@jeanmarc_in_Hudson]

Wet, steep, narrow, overgrown, running blind and alone… Looks easy from the couch here… Ya, I’m way better than that… 🤣

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I am amazed at what I can ride from my couch.😂
