  • Tokoroa in the central North Island of NZ has a mountain bike park called Cougar park. It has a feature called the Widow maker which is a drop between two rocks. I have always been too scared but today I am determined. I do end up crashing but not on this feature.

    That first section through the woods looks beautiful - really Jurassic looking - good vid

    Nice Lance 👍, good on you for giving those features a stab, especially in the slippery condition. I hope you went out and had a look at the jump track while you were down, we still need to go and do that when I'm good and healed.

      No, I didn't. My guide didn't take me there!

    Awesome video Lance really enjoyed it mate . Cougar Park has always been one of my favourites and including Rotorua. The Craters of the Moon never did anything for me. I’m always looking forward to seeing you on your next video 😊

    Great video Lance and solid work ticking off the widow maker! What you say about the park is so true, great little park with almost no one around when you ride there! Hoping to get up there for the long weekend for a day of riding, looks like the tracks are in good condition!

      If Tokoroa didn't have one of the best riding locations in the world next door, it would be so much busier. If it was anywhere in the UK, it would be super busy. Great place to ride.

      I had ridden it before, and if it was dry, I would have been fine. Rock was like ice.

    Lance, you will have to revisit Craters of the Moon bike park at Taupo sometime. I know you weren't impressed on last visit but much of the park has been rebuilt since the destruction caused by Cyclone Gabrielle and in fact is still being developed. Many of the tracks are just so much better than the original- which is the upside of having our park trashed. If not, ride the 34km loop just to the west of Kinloch (Kinloch/ Kawakawa/Whangamata hub and back via Otaketake trail.

    You did tell us that that the new bike was only for Grade 1 tracks and not jumping, nice little slide by the front wheel. How was the wrist?

      I am quite lucky that most of my body hurts all the time anyway so when I fall off it is only slightly worse.😬
