Hi Ya Fellow Nicolai Peeps

[Whafe]

Have not had a chance to spend much time on MTBR of late, been balls out in a new job, having a great work life balance and I have not been on an Plane for more than 2 months. The withdrawl symptoms have subsided....

Have been riding, of course not enough. Did a great 12 hour race on the Jones SS, what a blast...

The Helius FR is rocking it, have had a good few rides on the dirt jumps on the FMXTB, but no, am no pro dirt jumper, am an old bastid now.....

Hope you are all well and riding loads....

Few shots of a recent ride in Rotorua in New Zealand, this place ROCKS!

















I like this shot of my great riding buddy Momentus, it is not a big jump, but love the colours....

You mean apart from Uruk-hai and Nazgûl ?

Take a look at the NZ Wikipedia article.

There are no snakes and there is only one venomous spider, the katipo, which is rare and restricted to coastal regions. There are many endemic species of insect, including the weta, one species of which may grow as large as a house mouse and is the heaviest insect in the world.

Nice pics whafe !!!!
Keep sharing, it's too cold in here to ride !!!

[perttime]

I can handle a few Uruk-hai but I am not real comfy around snakes and crocodiles Sounds like that would not be an issue...

[Momentus]

but I am not real comfy around snakes and crocodiles

Nothing to worry about in NZ. There have been a few additions to the poisonous spiders (white tail), but there are no snakes or crocodiles. It really is a fantastic place to live.

Dude.. have a load of kiwi mates over here who regularly ride Rotorua. they will all be moving back home soon so i will be hitting those trails some time in the next 3 years for sure... cant wait - they look built for an FR!

[Boozzz]

Are you no longer the master of all onions then Whafe? Must be good not to spend half your life in an airplane anymore. Plenty of fantastic riding there, still on my list of places to visit, sometime .

[Whafe]

Yep, no longer living on a plane, fockin brillient really.... Yep, top riding here and next to no nasties to eat you or cause damage...

Get your butts down here.....
