digs!

Manson'ator




happy days


Well winters still not here, the sun is the boss & it's blastin us daily with it's warmth, which means the ground ain't frozen solid........so you kno what that means right? Exactly we can dig still till our hearts are content & were getting shit stacked up & playin' with that beautiful clay that's at the Gorge!

oh yeah by the way if ya ain't member of the Queenstown MTB Club get on it man, if you love & ride all the amazing spots they've build from the ground up, you need to give back & the best way to do that is by signing up & becoming a member which is all in support of the local QT riding scene wether you love trails or just plain wanna go fast down hill or peddle up a hill? Your choose = your fun. NUFF SAID, get involved & sign up, show your support!

It's almost a daily operation getting down to the Gorge with Nath, Lowell & Martyn (BIKE SMART kicks ass, ya dig) an were getting it done! What a team & were would we be with out our redbull hit aye Lowell? Oh to have wings right now. So dailing as much as we can b4 we tarp up is awesome, come spring it means less work & the fact of the matter is that we'll be roastin' it up sooner rather than later yeeeeoooow! Ya can't beat getting a head start on spring's heavy work load at ya trails any were on earth! But those who have trails kno this, right?

Big shout out to those who do come an help us out, you kno who you are (even tho there ain't many helpers & plenty of ya like to drive by with comments like "are they finished yet?" or "when do they open up again?''. Are they finished yet haha "what the trails, finished, they'll never be finished man only constant evolutiuon man!) If ya just plain stuck at work an ya can't help dig, well there's always the weekends to invest in ya summer fun, don't be shy & come help us out if were diggin', we won't bite, we'll only heckling ya some in good taste tho haha so bring ya sense of humour.

"Don't fear hard work it's good for ya & it all ways pays off"
eat sleep & breath TRAILS all year round, if ya can't ride 'em, build 'em right!
embrace the flathead & get it done!

Mat Olson came to visit from snowy Colorado around January. He stayed at the

Casselberry Trails in a tent for over a week. This is only a small 20 minute session we were able to capture. Mat was throwing it down and seemed to adapt well to these trails. Check out more at www.decobmx.com and stay posted to http://knucklenap.com/ Believe. Focus. Finish.

no winter yet, it'll come...



"someone's been eating their carots"
guess who an win a prize....

now i don't no about you but this is something i've been wanting to do for a while now but just never get around to put'n a speedo on my dam ride (no not a budgie smuggler speedo's fools), the boys at TRAILS4LIFE are sure having fun, my new fav site! (i'm a trails site whore mind you, who isn't) an the vid below goes to show how much fun these boys are having, yup i'm jealous, but i guess we all have to deal with shitty weather one way or another, trails are so seasonal & inspirational. I love the name, it say's it all "trails for life" fuck yeah!



trails heads come & trails heads go, one big liteul family!........we'll be seeing ya!





the new SOUL is out....or on it's way! Hell yeah Ben it's all about the nose dive, yeeeeeeeow!
i know ya got soul!















"you can make anything you want out of dirt"
......the rant of a digger @ d Gorge.



well it's less than a month till the middle of winter & you kno what that means yup the days get longer, an spring bekons. Mother nature sure has been hella nasty to NZ lately with gnarly earthquake's, tornado's & flooding the list goes on but were's winter, who really cares the longer the dreaded cold stays away the better & with it comes the likely hood of more chances of mid winter roast'in! Mother nature hasn't unleashed her full winter fury yet down here, but no doubt she will & it'll suck, old injuries will ache, digg'in will get done & we might even dream a roast'in, i kno i do! So what's the best way to start the day mm mmm i kno checking DELUXE out 'cos Mark & his team always serve up the dirty goods......TRAILS they feel dam rad to ride, ya hang'in with ya mates having a goodtime, why else would we dig? (an ride).

ps here's some naughty R18 footy, don't crack a woody now!
TRAILS TV is back haha just for you Dingo! Loads & loads of old & new footy from the world full a trails, it's motivational & inspiration so kick back & enjoy! Thanks to everyone out there for the foooty!



so stay warm, light fires & dig trails with ya mates (this to keeps ya warm ha!)
life is a journey to be enjoyed & lived!
...i'm sure Frog would agree.





















Dean fuck'in rules it big time! One of the styliest riders i've seen ride the Gorge ever, an a bunch a loyal hard working local gorge digging beasts will agree! Bring ya tatoo gun next time ya here Dean, ink us up man!





























finally a BIG GET WELL GOES OUT TO YEAGLE!

On January 15, 2011 Brian Yeagle took a really hard slam to his head while in Las Vegas on a Verde filming trip. He sustained a fractured skull and minor bleeding in his brain. Brian is in stable condition, perfectly coherent and in good spirits . Everyone please keep Yeagle in your thoughts and wish him good luck for a speedy recovery. More soon...
