Completely free to ride so you could hire an ebike in Queenstown pedal up to that and just session this ride up Skippers Road this whole hill is covered in ebike Trails we’re just lucky enough to be doing it on down bike downhill bikes with a bit of air support quick
Hist for lesson from Fraser yeah so this is the old Skippers pack track one of the oldest tracks in Queenstown what the gold miners used like 160 years ago to come into Skippers Canyon at the shot of river to mine gold so now we’re riding
It as a sick Mountain by track it’s all good and apparently the valley is still full of gold hope you find some gold we’re at the LZ windy conditions for a pickup the LZ we call an air support My feels insane oh holy that was a nice little away my God that was jeez the thing told the queen Sound flow was wasc all over the you can’t can’t send it not smart this is called bow and Peak we’re literally at the summit like every direction you look it just Falls away

I'm a Kiwi living in the UK. I am 56 and got into mountain biking only 6 years ago.
I used to go into the mountains a lot in NZ in the 70's and 80's trekking. I left NZ in in 1989. Now NZ is a mountain bike mecca, feel like i really missed out. I was a city bike courier for 5 years in the 90's. Can't believe i didn't get into MTB'ing back then. I am addicted to it.
Great to see you enjoying QTown guys. It's a great country I live in. Absolutely love the slow mo approach to the helicopter, reminded me of a few westerns I've watched over the years. Well done to you all for great riding and promoting this beautiful country, thank you for sharing with us.
Incredible video.
Amazing riding.
Thank you for making and for sharing the video.
