Are Your Favourite Trails Protected? Chatting Trail Advocacy with Matt, Chair of the Nelson Mountain Bike Club
There is no question - Nelson has some of the best riding in NZ, but it didn't happen overnight and negotiating access is just as important as ever. The mountain bike club is huge and they have an amazing amount of riding, but securing access is still at the top of their priorities. Join us as we chat about the behind-the-scenes work that goes into keeping trails accessible for us to ride with all of the different user groups and stakeholders involved. Have a think next time you are riding your favourite trail how it got there and how much work goes into keeping it available for recreation.
At New Zealand Mountain Biking, we run epic mountain biking tours across the scenic North Island, New Zealand. We also help riders build confidence and skills in our MTB and eMTB private lessons on the legendary Rotorua trails.

Northland Mountain biking - What're your options and how does it compare with the rest of NZ? Chatting with Ben Haselden
Yes, there is mountain biking in Northland. There is quite the scene of stoked locals up there digging trails and keeping the clubs alive. Have a listen to hear what Ben has seen over the years and his involvement with the club. Also, get some insight to the club's vision for the Whangarei MTB Club for the future. Should we have a New Zealand Mountain Bike Club?

Is braking the most under rated skill?? Chatting with Matt Miller about the importance of braking
If you have ever wanted to improve your riding (pretty much everyone ever) then this is a great listen for you! In this episode, I catch up with Matt Miller about Braking, brake balance, when where and how we brake and the effects that has on our overall ride on MTB - Sharing the Stoke.
Matt is a 3rd generations cyclist and really loves science and has been a big part of the development of BrakeAce - this is how he helps share the stoke with riders all over the world! By demystifying how we ride we have a solid starting point to improve from.
Check out the video where I linked up with Matt and we did a session integrating science and coaching to help Matt's riding.

What makes a good set of brakes and how to get the most out of them - Chatting with Taylor Grey from Radic
In this episode of MTB - Sharing the Stoke, I catch up with Taylor Grey who has developed his own brakes - the Radic Kaha. These brakes don’t only look sick but they perform and have been in production now for a year and have been tested by some of NZ’s top riders. I want to get my hands on a set after talking to Taylor!
Check out radicperformance.com for more information on the Kaha and to get yourself a set! Follow their Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/RadicNZ/
And if you reckon your brakes are already top-notch but you aren’t sure whether you’re using them well or not check out the info that BrakeAce gives you or join me for a lesson next time you are in Rotorua.
