  • Dad's Army finally gets to leave Auckland and we take the E bikes to hit up some of the new mountain bike trails in Rotorua. We check out some new trails such as Ma Te Wa and Black house down as well as some old favorite mtb jump trails like corridor and Katore jumps.

    Great vid Lance felt like a 5min vid, rather than 17mins. Wait to you see my face lift now I am so much more sexy now. Lol

    That jump you guys are doing at about 1:30, how fast are you going when you hit it?

    • @bestdayevermtb2
      @bestdayevermtb2  2 года назад

      You need to be going fairly quick. I usually pedal across the flat bit.

    Some say the greatest army in the world is the United States Army. Others say Cina's People's Liberation Army is the greatest. I say the best army in the world is Dad's Army. Nobody dies and everyone has a great time. Please keep these fabulous videos coming.

      Are you familiar with the original tv program called Dad's Army. That is where the name came from. A load of blokes past their prime but still trying.

    hey Lance, great video, any recommendations for ebike riding, eg where you park your car and start riding? which typical trails it's a "MUST"? thanks

    • @bestdayevermtb2
      @bestdayevermtb2  2 года назад

      That could be a very long answer but as for car parking doesn't really matter. The Tarawera road park is very close to shuttle pick up if you want that. Trails depends on what you like but Eagle vs shark and Te Poaka are great flow trails and Corridor is great fun. So many awesome trails though.

  • @stevoc3258
    @stevoc3258 2 года назад +1

    Lance, what a vid! My favourite ever that you have done. Those flowey trails and gaps look amazing. How did the Bullet compare to the usual KTM?

    • @bestdayevermtb2
      @bestdayevermtb2  2 года назад

      Thanks for that. Similar geometry and travel although the Bullit was a bit smaller. The suspension on the Bullit was plusher. Almost tempted to change the spring on the ktm.

    Making me jealous, with all that sun and lovely looking trails, winter here and after storm Arwen just about all the trails up here still closed due to fallen trees 😫 some decent sends there though boys ,enjoy the shred.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    Another brilliant video, thanks Lance. Love seeing loads of the crew out riding. The banter between you all is great fun to witness. Makes one feel part of the team. Loving all the train footage.
    Also really glad to hear Lindsay is getting better. Hang in there Lindsay.

    Nice vid. Bit of a random one but how does the Riverhead road gap compare to AV8R? No problem with AV8R but haven’t tried the road gap yet.

    • @bestdayevermtb2
      @bestdayevermtb2  2 года назад +1

      Actually if you watched my video how to jump without crashing I compared those two jumps. They are a very similar feel. Flat take offs onto a sloping transition. I think the Riverhead one you can go slightly faster but the good news is you can't over jump it like you can on AV8A
