It’s great to have the opportunity to check out some of the newer builds in Nelson while down in the South Island. “Poacher” is one of the many classic hand-dug trails at the Cable Bay Adventure Park
The conditions down here at this time of year are all time for anything in the trees

It's readdy for some tires to pack it in! Under Billy has been rebuilt - brand new, and lower Billy T has been freshened up! It's windy but go ride it and help pack it in with your lines!

Shout out to the Rotorua Trails Trust for doing a great job. We are looking forward to seeing how this part of the forest is developed over the next few years.

Trails like this that aren’t so steep can be tricky to find flow on.

Opening up your vision is the most straightforward place to start. Slow down to see more moves ahead and instead of just seeing one feature at a time you start linking up lines = more speed.

If we go too fast, we get fixated on the things that make us nervous - corners, roots, drop, etc… slowing down a touch is the easiest way to feel comfortable again and helps us open up our vision. Seeing the next feature sooner means that you have more time to process, prepare, plan and move on to the next feature. As you get more confidence with more skill, the speed increases and we can easily run into the same problem.

Ride at 80% on a trail you don’t feel is super flowy and think about opening up your vision and see what happens. Be patient, trust the process.
And definitely make motorbike noises 🤣🤣

Whatever you're riding, wherever you're at, we'll meet you there and point you up the next step.

Come ride with us. If you're weighing up your options, my honest advice is the same thing I tell new riders all the time: don't put it off, and don't ingrain bad habits hoping you'll fix them later.
