The Old Ghost Road - Truly one of the greats in 4K. 

Excellent video and a good effort on a long day. A couple of observations with regard to this track and bikes. Firstly with regard to those bikepacking you made some comments - but I saw a video on RU-vid of a couple of guys from Australia who are well known for riding 'fat bikes' and did this track fully laden on their 'fat bikes' with ease - the narrowness of the track posed no problem and their fat bikes handled both the ascents and descents with no problems - in fact they seemed to get up the mountains comparatively easier because of the amazing traction that fat bikes provide. Personally I've never ridden one but I am amazed by their versatility. A second observation, from my own personal experience, is that riding the Old Ghost Road is much much much easier on an old school 26er (dual suspension, high specs) than on either a 27.7 or a 29er. The 26er handled every aspect of the track better and was vastly superior in manoeuvering especially with all the switchbacks. When I rode the track on a 29er it was hard work negotiating the zillions of tight bends and took much more concentration and hard work to keep it safely on the track. If you can get your hands on a reliable, well-spec'ed out 26er I can guarantee that you will have a much better (and maybe safer) experience than on a 29er. Well at least that has been my experience.

12:58 - I ACTUALLY shat my pants on your behalf

This has to be the best OGR video out .well done

Thanks for sharing, can’t wait to do it!

Good video and comments - ride like a pros - well done! Thank you for sharing.

Looks great. I wish some day!

Love this. Those little robins on like bike tyres!

Wow this is such a cool video! I hiked the Old Ghost Road a few months ago, but biking it seems like such an amazing experience!

Beautiful!

There this Friday. Great preview, cheers!

Cracking film!

Great video!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've done Paparoa and Heaphy and Queen Charlotte, this looks a bit harder tho... in particular those narrow tracks with the big drop offs give me the heebie jeebies... Would hate to take a tumble down one of those!

Thanks for that great vid wish Newzealand was closer and open to everyone perhaps one day!

Holy sheet mate. Those rocky switchbacks are deadly gnarly eh. 😮

Great video, just rode through myself on Friday and track was being worked on below Ghost lake Hut.

very nice view, very hapiness explore with fullsuspension mtb

This video just popped up in my YT recommendations. That's a scary ride. Has anyone ever fallen off that trail in recent times?

Great video! It’s on the to do list but always wondered how hard is it in a day…..mid December has the longest daylight hours so can take more time.

👍

Fantastic. Thanks a lot. Great to see what the track is like. Would love to do it myself but I'm more of a gravel tourer. Think its doable?

Holy sit it looks scary

After 5:30 of riding I'd be into one of those streams in a heartbeat! 😊 Very nice videos of the ride thanks. Did you rent bikes or are they your own bikes?

There is no way I could ride this

So I have just watched 2 videos on this track and one the lady went up the steps and you went down. What direction did you go, south to north or vise versa? The reason I ask is because she also did the Heaphy Track and I am wondering how they will link. You way looked more fun!

Great video. What camera did you use?

I've added this to my bucket list hahaha, what an awesome ride. Quick question tho, from what you've found, what advantages does the lefty fork provide?

What bike did you use? looked so much easier

Did you do the whole trail in one day?

Ive seen it in 5k

I see you dident video pushing your bikes up county hill...lol...back in the day it was called suicide bluff...you had to walk up and over the top..be for the ghost road was an idea

How long is the climb?

Truly one of the greats in 4K? can only watch on youtube in 1080p. ha . nice vid though

Love this. Those little robins on like bike tyres!
