Diggity twistin' by Chris Radford

Down Diggity

Closed means closed folks. It's diggin' season only @ The Gorge. Trust me when trails surrounded you as ya dig, you just can't but think about roastin' some. Go ride Lismore if your to lazy to DIG weekend warriors! Wanaka Jump Park is open, the 4 main lines ie small lines have been altered some, a new drain has been put in, the role in is now steeper. The Big line/moto ain't been touched since i left Wanaka 8 months ago, it's been run dry & hammered in places nothing some love won't fix ie a sweep, rake & patch up an it's ON! (hint hint Lismore users & expect more QT riders in ya area)........2 Dig? or Ride? DIG MAN, COME ON it's a no brain'er, if ya don't dig & keep shit dialed, ya just ain't thinking right!)

....mmmmmm coffee



This is sooo RAD! Make sure ya go big screen for this sweet footy of 3 legit, sound as kiwi lads George & Louis Bolter & Jayden Leeming tearing it up at the Gorge one fine day over summer, they were all so psyched on the place they roasted right thru into the darkness, if i had the chance i know i would if i ate more carrots! Redbull sure don't muck around when it comes to a sick edit! Big ups to Redbull for all their help at the Gorge were we all can fly, who said anything about wings man THE WHEEL is all ya need (& shovels, rakes, wheel barrow's etc etc i think you get it)

Well us lads on the tools @ The Gorge are dam psyched on this vid & you should be too, it's a labour of love & untold infinite hours on the tools & dam she's sure Gorge'ous it's, even more motivation 4 us to continue loading wheel barrow's, continue slappin' tranny's & always day dreaming about the spring to come along with the feeling trails give us who know what up. So we'll just keep digging, even if it hurts we STILL dig, feel the pain & work thru it (an those who dig know that you always hurt more when it's cold!). So thanks to those who come an help out many hands make light work.

Right now the Gorge is looking nicely dialed, there's some gravity deifying clay sweating away, more dialing to come & more tarps 2 throw on, it's never ending & the trails are never ever finished (for the record trails can never be FINISHED? creativity & evolution are nocturnal & infinite, so why would you limit yourself?). A few things have changed & a few things have grown over the past 7 weeks & we've still got plenty to do but because were such awesome dirt moving/shoveling/slappin' beasts we've almost run outta dirt (let's just dig out the middles....some more)

.......OK 'nuff rant from me here's a bunch a pic's i took during the Gorge(ous) summer we just had, it only feels like yesterday, so it's at this time of the year we all agree dirts the new snow & BRING BACK SUMMER, yes it's now god dam FREEZZZZZING down here, anyone keen on sexy tall frosty dirty tranny's to lick?

FOX box speakers go good, latest trails fashion.....Thanks FOX...but how do they fit in ya ears?

yes it's the 3rd shot of a BBQ! Us Kiwi's & Ozzie's love a good Barbee who doesn't? Cheers to Manson & Irvine for the feed

Redbull George shoot?

I'm seeing double trouble B(MX)

Nath making 'em grow! If only it was as easy as water'in 'em!

As ya can see the Gorge kicks ass! You'd have be stupid to disagree right or just gay maybe "This place has gottah be one of the raddest sets a public trails on earth man"( i quote Clint Miller of Colony), yes that's right PUBLIC trails but that don't mean you can leave ya trails etiquette up ya ass, do bring it along or you will get heckled beyond repair! Like all good trails the Gorge is a team effort like every other set a trails on Earth should be!

The Gorge is located on the real land way the fuck down under up in the mountain's "The Southern Alps" yup in NZ for those dumb asses out there way outta touch like me! "The Land of the Long Sweet As Trails" or "the land of the long white cloud aka Aotearoa! Redbull have had their hand in with the Gorge & have helped out loads with the Gorge over the years by throwing down $$$ 4 the jams & loads of that over stimulating, intoxicating fluid that Lowell Diggity loves to consume, even i nock one back when needed the next day (after too many pints at Atlas)

so as my rant goes on your the biggest sucker for sitting in front of ya screen reading this all, so unless it's pissing down out side or to dark to ride trails only then can you justify reading this rant, on a random tip as i am manic man after all. Head over to DELUXE who also jumped on board for this years Gorge Jam (i will do an update soon, sorry) & threw down some rad prizes. There's some insight into the life of the one of the UK's best trails slayers Stephen Murray, dam good interview, makes you think hard & long about just how quick what we all take for granted can be taken away, so play safe out there OK! STAY STRONG Stephen Murray! Back to the Gorge then & thank you so much to REDBULL for all the support over the years, keep it coming!

So you know when it comes to thanks the biggest thanks go out to Nath (aka Satan) of PHATLINES for his completely obsessively dedicated behaviour when it comes to taking care of the Gorge, then there is the loyal local diggity diggers, Lowell, Jarod (Dingo) Chris & Cam (i'm the new boy on the block so i'm almost local haha) any diggers i forgot you kno who you are, big ups to ya all! Let's not forget the Queenstown MTB Club, big up's go out to LB & his crew also. Arrrhhhh dam it this is like a farewell to trail slaying season as winter kicks in! I'm having major withdrawal issues cos i ain't been at the Gorge for over 2 weeks, dam it i miss you all! Roast 'em up some for my lamo ass, i'm still in Wanaka an nothing here has got anything on Gorge....yet?

I almost forgot the fact that Redbull did a sweet day'n'night shoot at the Gorge with the Bolter twins & Jayden Leeming, that's what this post is about after all, i sure was kicking myself hard for being way to busy to check any of the action out! And from what i have seen you boys got some bangers for sure, catch ya next time boys. Cheers for the beers.....an redbull & vodka's, i heard no one slept that night hahaha Redbull it keeps you UP, so you can perform!

the evil twins aka The Bolter's slumming it easy.
Check out more sweet pic's Tim Pierce shot!
