yew! might have to check it out this weekend if it doesn't rain

[@xr8jim]

Loving this channel, as fellow 2017 giant trance owner (mines a 3) it's awesome seeing it being ridden and show cased like that. Subbed👍

[@TheAverageMTBGuy]

Cheers James, welcome aboard!!

[@gerardcallaghan5276]

Love the trails in the trees mate. Can't wait to get there. Stroll on December 😁

[@TheAverageMTBGuy]

You’ll have a blast!

[@gerardcallaghan5276]

The Average MTB Guy Hi mate. I am hoping to ride BOTH Moerangi track and Whiranaki track in the same day. What's your thoughts being local? Cheers.

[@TheAverageMTBGuy]

I haven’t ridden either but Moerangi looks brutal (to me!) with 2300m of climbing. www.whirinakiforestholidays.co.nz/moerangimtbshuttles/ could take care of logistics. If your heading to Taupo then Great Lakes Trail is cool. Timber Trail and 42 Traverse might also be up your alley if you like long rides.

[@gerardcallaghan5276]

The Average MTB Guy Hi mate. Thanks for the reply. Might just do Meorangi 1 day and then go and do Whiranaki a different day. The other trails you mentioned are they challenging? I've watched them on KZbin. They look flat and wide to me.

[@gerardcallaghan5276]

Hello mate. Are you going to be riding in and around Rotorua 17th until 27th December?

[@logoschoi2485]

I used to go to Skyline quite often as a kid for the luges. I didn't pay much attention to the MTB tracks and now I really want to go back and ride them :(

[@garrysimmons9369]

That's probably because they weren't there. They were only built about 6 years ago.

[@MTBScotland]

watching it I thought your confidence on the jumps was improving then you shout oh shit ha ha ha ha. nice to see you try harder stuff.

[@ricardopalma9208]

I want buy it! Is an excellent option!!!! :)

[@harrybrown8]

I'm Going there on Wednesday next week

[@stuartdummkoph128]

Definitely time to go visit my NZ cousins!!

[@TheAverageMTBGuy]

Let me know when you do - I’ll see if I can get a leave pass.

[@stuartdummkoph128]

The Average MTB Guy that would be fantastic. Thank you

[@JakeAtkinson43]

B.Y.O is hard

[@sebastianlane7366]

I've been there it is very smelly in some places

[@krisbowditch827]

All depends on the wind direction.. just like the song 😂bohemian rhapsody.., any way the wind blows doesn’t real matter to me 💪👍

[@sebastianlane7366]

you should do the crank works jumps

[@TheAverageMTBGuy]

This has a 99.99% of never happening because I really enjoy walking!

[@sebastianlane7366]

Good vids though

[@TheAverageMTBGuy]

Sure, it would be a full episode of Friday Fails!

[@sumanthapa2057]

Khatr speed

[@astrxls9446]

You're fork was locked :l

[@TheAverageMTBGuy]

No, the fork was 80% open. I found it was a bit soft into some of the fast corners when it was fully open so reduced it to 80%.

[@lucaswarren2194]

Kinda sounded like you have run out of brake pads

[@TheAverageMTBGuy]

They actual were brand new for this ride. I upgraded to an IceTech rotor and XT pads and that’s the sound they make.

[@lucaswarren2194]

The Average MTB Guy oh ok because i could hear a scrapping sound and just wondered

[@joshbrown3743]

mate you keep casing everything, your so sketchy

[@TheAverageMTBGuy]

Yes, yes I am! Totally sketchy.

[@dongh1217]

It’s table top so it’s safe and fun, happy riding and keep sending it
