Slippery Roots... Aorere Trail, Nelson, New Zealand | MTB Trail Magic

[@BrianVaughn]

It's about to get real exciting. That was an understatement. Wet plus off camber equals great memories. You'll talk about this trip forever.

[@MTBTrailMagic]

Yeah Brian, it was so fun!

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

Oh wow, slip sliding away! I love how you could hear screams then laughter throughout the woods. Crazy ride, great job.

[@MTBTrailMagic]

Haha thanks Keith. Hearing everybody laughing was pretty cool. We all had so much fun.

[@trails2ales254]

That's some nutty stuff! So much laughter and fun in the face of danger :-) Wet and steep to the point you can't walk on it but....away we go!

[@MTBTrailMagic]

Haha! It was so fun! Winter in NZ = wet riding entertainment.

Hey man im going to try get myself up there in a week or two time, (weather dependent) you recommend any good loops or tracks other than this one :)

[@MTBTrailMagic]

Coppermine was a good long ride. We booked up to the saddle and had a really cool descent down to the dam. Pretty much anything in Nelson is awesome. Use Trailforks and link some together to make a nice day of it, that's what we did.

With some trails you look at them and think 'why is that a black?'. With this trail you look at it and think 'yep that’s a black!'.

[@MTBTrailMagic]

In the dry It would be really steep and fast. In the wet it's really steep and slippery. Both would be black and both fun, but in the wet... really really fun!

Full face helmet maybe....?🤔👍

[@MTBTrailMagic]

Haha! not at the speeds we were going! Way too slow.

That looks pretty demanding on the concentration. Good ride. Have you done te arakoa?

[@aridersview9584]

Ps 4:29 ya mate just flicked a switch and bombed that 🤘🏼

[@MTBTrailMagic]

Very moist and high on the concentration. Haven't don Te Ara Koa, but saw where it crossed the Dun Mountain Trail. Thought it looked pretty cool.
