Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 лис 2014
- The trails of Rotorua's Whakarewarewa Forest are truly legendary; from mossy singletrack in the native bush, through to machine-built jump-fests. Join Flow Mountain Bike as we team up with 10 local shredders to show you the Rotorua Top Ten Trails.

The most awesome place i've ever mountainbiked in my life!
One of my all time favorite mountain bike videos, would love to see this one remade with the same riders newer bikes and same music. That would be awesome! How great it would be to ride there!
Good to see all the trails/riding going on. There used to be a BMX track up there back in 1980 we used to ride. Can't wait to go back home and MTB it!!
These trails look brilliant to let a beginner build up confidence to move on to more complex trails thanks
Corridor is my favourite trail in rotorua, It has so much variety from flowy fsat sections to rooty section it's amazing
Awesome video! I did some of the green and blue trails here a few days ago. Loved it!
Guys I’am so jealous I love those trail and your music , awesome keep up
Wow you guys are fast I’ve done the Whaka twice amazing trails great camera work and tunes 👍👍👍
How sad are people’s lives that they have to put down the efforts of others. These lads look like they’re having a great time. Not too mention they’re not to shabby riders either. Good work. Great vid!
I love rotorua it's so nice I go and ride and race their all the time for xc, downhill, enduro, road
Luxusní pojezdy. Jen škoda že to není tady u nás. Hned bych si to dal taky:-)) 100% nádhera.
is it weird that i like to see the dirt come from the tyres and how smooth the ride looks.. ii love it
@@azeem78601 they replant them
Great clip, makes me want to take my bike, but it's dark outside!!!
Hi guys, great video!! just wondering what kind of bikes for rotorua trails? I'm an mtb beginner and I will ride at rotorua,currently looking for between Giant reign 2 and trance? or do you have any other better options to help me. Cheers
IT'S AMAZING
Can we appreciate how long this would of taken to edit and film
does anyone know the song used on the boulderdash trail vid (16:40)? Thanks
you are so good!!
you're motivating me so hard!!
but how does the grade system work?
and do you ride flats or clips?
clips i recon aye heaps of roots
que coisa linda de ver.
What was the song on the Challenge trail video?
I want to ride MTB like that!
Some chapters would be a handy addition to this video, but great work
What size travel bikes are they using? 140 AM?
whats the first track please??
I live here!
what's the song on trail. gunna gotta
cool video, cool trails, sad to see all the deforestation.
It's a commercial forest so they have logging operations. While it's a bit unsightly it's a great example of a working business/community partnership... the trees will grow again.
These are plantation forests - they were planted specifically as a commercial crop. This is not the first time this area will have been logged. It all gets replanted and ~25 years from now will get chopped down again...
It's not really deforestation. That land will be used to grow more trees for building houses. It would suck if they were milling native bush but they're just using that land for sustainable pine milling and regrowth.
How do you get to the top? Are there shuttles or chair lifts?
Ride up forest logging roads
Great video. Seems the trails in Rotorua only go down...
+Ketzal Sterling You have to up to get down :) alot of them are down but there are many aggressive hill climbs to get to certain trails
Haha no
If you were interested in taking a year of from studies, go abroad, and wanted to work and focus on XCO/XCM biking, to what part of the Australia would you go? :) Is there anywhere especially well suited with a big XC community? Great videos!! keeps one going through the cold and dark months up here in Sweden :D Cheers!
I'm not an expert, but i would chose New Zealand over Australia any day for mountainbiking! Especially Rotorua and Queenstown are awesome to ride!
Do both, Western Australia has some great new trails, and now there are more trails going on at Mt Buller, Thredbo, Stromlo is good too, and Queensland has trails that are being built in Australia, they all offer something different and different conditions for example in Perth there is quite a bit of pea gravel, not everyone can ride it so it does develop your skills. NZ does have a lot of steep riding and I have been to Rotorua, and yes they do have lots of awesome trails, and they do get pretty gnarly but its so much fun!! If youre going to be travelling this far, might as well enjoy the best of both countries they have to offer.
amazing video who knows the songs?
The intro was you guys trying to shred an xc trail
Also, I like the Michigan song. Im actually in Michigan.
this clear cut makes me sad
MsTokies It is only pine planation ( a weed here in NZ) certainly not native. It will be replanted and in 22 years will be cut again.
What's the name of the song in 5:05?
+Mateusz Janda Track name In Michigan - Sunny Side Up
+Juan felipe Zapata Hey doy you know the other songs name?
please someone can tell me track name at: 12:05 min thanks
+Juan felipe Zapata aka national downhill
+Juan felipe Zapata Reedwoods Tamiwha National DH.
thanks
Bicycle gangcheolgyu. I learned incredible sipneyeo
Tokorangi is covered in trees now
Hey Guys!
I'm an exchange student from Germany and a passionate mountainbiker!
Can somebody recommend where to rent a bike in Rotorua?
Or even better is maybe anybody out there, who would like to show a few trails to me?
Cheers,
Max
When you coming over? I live there so yeah
I don't know yet, maybe next weekend?? :D
there is a bike hire facility at the redwoods
Everytime I ride with others I always thought that were running together like a herd or a pack.
To be honest I find the Redwoods a lot better to ride than QT. Just that Rotorua town really needs better F&B and a sprucing up.
You guys ever heard of a gopro
Haha rightttt
for all I hear of Rotorua this doesn't look too bad. I thought they're supposed to be a big old rocks and shit
theTRACK at 7:00 is HORRIBLE but the MOVIE is EXCELLENT :)
I agree with the video and all of the comments below. Your all right the trails are too groomed and the riders are trying to hard. They must have paid quite a lot to get the Hobit to tag on with the other three.
Lol Westfield is right, all yu guys probably just ride cross coutnry or when theres a jump on a trail, you go to the side and say "maybe next time" hahahh. These traisl look like something i can go down on a road bike no problem, although it looks fun, there needs to be a little more obstacles to get your shocks, arms, and legs pumping. But maybe the ones complaining dont know what im talking about. TOO GROOMED
jd06 at least they can film videos
I can appreciate the effort making these trails. But they are too groomed. Might as well ride on a road track. I miss the trails that still has natural terrain incorporated.
The Rotorua/Taupo area is like that. Well groom and well used trails. Come down to Wellington or Nelson area and it's a lot more tight switch backs, roots & rocks.
maybe we can switch spots, I love the groomed fast stuff with jumps, but where I live there are tons of rocks and roots and natural terrain without a tabletop to be seen
I was under the impression that flow tracks were meant to be groomed and taken care of. It's a different style of riding compared to downhill riding or back country trail riding.
For the types of trail riding in this video, what tire pressures do you generally run front and back?
Brian Westfield i cant agree more , i mean the track is cool but why do they crop threes :(
Brian Westfield well these are flow trials and are for speed not for technical parts like rock gardens or off camber
Hurry up and get it over with. 25 minutes!??? I have better things to do than watch this
awesome clip guys (+girls) lotta work setting up + catching all that motion. can’t wait to come Nth next year from t South to have a taste-NI-trip…. not gonna b disappointed I suspect. start @Makara pk + keep sampling. : ). …if you like rocky-tech, I recommend sampling Denniston @Westport. bin up there lots tidying up existing stuff over t last year/ some classics that will provoke hysterical laughter (teapot,taxman,ripple-effect). Ride-on
