Love 'Dipper' its a regular go to for me... great to hear the granddad of MTbing rotaz been mentioned (Freditor) as his drive and passion for the region is why this place is a mecca for the sport now. Mtbing started in rotaz for me in '88/89 and by '91/92 Fred had organised social group evening rides approx twice a week (incl names like D. Hollows, M Bosomworth and B Shapely)and had ran some regional races incl a couple of DH comps at the gondola! Appreciate if anyone has heard what he's doing these days would be well received, last I heard after he and Tracey split he moved to Upper Hutt, before then he ran a small bike shop on Fenton st and that was several decades ago...
Yes to Fred in 1994, then the trees were thinned in 2012 and rebuilt/line cleared and cleaned with a few of us, Ash Edwards, Casey King, Digger. Someone (you know who you are), wanted to do a total rebuild and redesign BUT a few of us old school appreciators thought that this classic trail needed to saved, stay in the same context and style of old mate Fred and the classic old trail it is. Good to see an evolutionary upgrade, nice! Out There Industries

I'll try and get those trails on video sometime, thanks for the suggestion 🙌 That work has turned into something absolutely epic!
Nice one Jamie, good fun with the kids. You seriously need a wind muffler for the GoPro though, heaps of wind noise because you’re so fast 😎🤙
Hahaha that was a factor. Cheers for the feedback 🤙🤙
@ no worries mate. Not trying to moan just some constructive feedback. Really like your videos! 🙌😎🤙
So cool ❤ so much fun and an awesome confidence building track 😎 . One of my favs 🙌
It's been great to see your confidence grow on our sessions over the past few months 🙌 Keep having fun out there!
