While in Rotorua to watch Crankworx I managed to sample a trail that I've been dying to ride for a while.
Often used by locals an after-work ride, the up trail of As You Do and the downhill grade 3 Box Of Birds creates such an awesome loop with so many lines, it would never get boring.
I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to ride Box Of Birds - it now rates up there as one of the most fun trails in the Redwoods Forest.

This is a cool loop. I did it back I’m march. Some people were walking up box of birds when I was coming down and it freaked me out as I was flying

The easy line you took is called fluffy ducks, and the section you took is literally the longest section of the fluffy ducks line. I highly recommend you go back and do both options from top to bottom. Similar but different as they say!

I've never ridden this one. Will add it to the list 🤙🏻

Morning from lake Karapiro. Loved the light in these videos. Our local trails are shut. It sucks not riding, but iv got my locked down army of kids making a trail loop on our farm. Do you think private “on farm” riding is ok?

@TheAverageMTBGuy 4 года назад

Hi Marty, I'm envious that you've got farmland to build trails and cool that your kids want to build trails. I say go for it and thats totally fine only that I'd be encouraging kids (and dad!) to take it easy not try and send the biggest jumps at the moment. Having spent a week in Starship with my youngest just before the lockdown, our medical services are focussing on this damn crisis and don't really need the extra work and stress of us riders visiting them :) And I trimmed my bar to 780mm. Cheers

What did you trim your bars down to?

On episode #93 around 1:50 he said he would trim his bars to 180mm. I believe the one in this video is a loan one he tried while at Rotorua and not his actual bike

I was going to trim the green Deity bars but decided that I wanted a blue and black colour scheme on the Reign so replaced the bars and grips and pedals. The bike in this episode is my actual bike and the same as Ep #93 although I did install the green pedals on the Polygon Siskiu from #91 - quite confusing as both bikes are black!

Black bikes rule! My wife says any goes with black and it’s very slimming!

Just found your channel. Follow a lot of MTB RU-vidrs to get ideas for rides. Ride mainly in UK, US and Canada but I’m married to a Kiwi and we were down in Rotorua in January so just looking through your edits for ideas for our next trip sown. Nice.
