We show you what to expect on one of nelsons classic trails - the Coppermine trail. With an easy climbing gradient and over 10km of fun flowy downhills this trail provides for fun for a large range of abilities.
Wow, simply amazing. What a fantastic video. I'm going to be riding this track next week, to be fair tho, not as quickly as you. You have some amazing skill. I can't believe how quickly you go around the corners :)
Hi Willy have a great ride there and enjoy the scenery its a magic track. Thanks for checking out the video and the flattering comment..... my right hand cornering still needs a lot of work.
Hey mate....Really appreciate your vids!....Enjoy your style with the ride through and humorous touches....The extra camera angles/detail you showed on this one was awesome to get different perspectives of the trail...Thanks to Susie too! I'll be riding Coppermine,Old Ghost Rd and Paparoa over Xmas/.New Year and your vids have been a joy to watch!!....Cheers
Hey Chris, thanks for the nice message its very much appreciated. A fair bit of time, effort and negotiations go into making a video so its nice to get some friendly feedback. Those are three wicked fun rides your about to do and we hope you have great days & adventures like we did. We're planning on heading to the north Island and filming some classics up there over xmas and new year. Thanks again for the comment and stopping by. G & Susie
Great video, did this ride last week was a nice trip ,there's a good loop from matai camp through tangtree saddle onto coppermine trail, best way to go
Hey Andy, glad you rode the coppermine and thanks for the tip about the new'ish climbing trail. If we start the loop from nelson we always use that trail, however I know a lot of folks who don't want to face another hill climb at the end so prefer to roll out the valley. We're in your camp and would tackle the hill and finish with a fun downhill track in codgers mtb park. Thanks again for the tip, hopefully people will read it in the comments and investigate that option. G
@@getoutside519 Just read that and am investigating soon with end of year in mind...a fun downhill always justifies uphill exertion in my world!...Cheers guys
Yes, just like Chris, we like your videos too. They give a pretty good indication what to expect and are a joy to watch. We want to ride the Paparoa trail in one day in February or March. But probably do the Coppermine trail first. How does the climb on the Coppermine relate to the climb on the Paparoa trail, in particular with respect to time, gradient and surface? Cheers - Geert
Wow thanks Gert for the nice comment. Really appreciate the feedback and love the fact that you are using it to help plan your own adventures. The Paparoa is stunning and you are very wise by targeting Feb or March when conditions are more stable. Thanks again, I better get back to editing another adventure if people are going to watch them. 80)
Hey guys....thanx for the reply!....I see you don't disclose your subscriber count,but I would hope it's increasing rapidly!!....Especially now that us Kiwis are restricted in our travel opportunities and travelling/biking local is much more relevant. I've biked most (maybe all?) of the "classics" north of Taupo/Ohakune and hope you enjoy them as much as what you've biked Sth Island! make sure you hit the Redwoods at Rotorua while you're up here!! Cheers
