New Zealand recently shook off the shackles of Level 4, 3, 2.... and soon 1 covid-19 restrictions. Action sports and Tourism have been waiting for the restrictions to ease and for us, the Dept of Conservation Hutts to reopen to allow us to provide multi day rides again. The good news is ...well its looking very likely that by Mid June we will be in Level 1. This should mean its time to dust off your gear and to hit the hills again. We are frothing at the prospect of getting back out into the remote parts of our country to repair the soul a little. We hope you are too. We will be taking bookin ..read more

Late Summer 2019, Just MTB co owner and lead guide Scott was enjoying a early morning ride with fellow guide the Rodfather in the famous forests around Rotorua know as the Redwoods. It was a pretty normal ride until the unthinkable happened. While on a steep decent Scotts front wheel clipped a tree root and sent him over the bars and down the hill... and into a tree. Scotts Ironman / G9 esk chin took the brunt of the impact and was split open. Unfortunately that wasn't the end of it, Scotts neck was rapidly twisted and he received what is known as the hangmans break. He had broken his C2 into ..read more

Hey, don't get us wrong, there are loads of amazing bikes out there, but Trek just hit the nail on the head for performance, innovation, reliability and fun factor. We have been riding the Fuel EX 9.9 29er for a season of guiding and not a thing went wrong, we didn't even replace a chain! It was all good times. We increased front fork travel from 135 to 150mm and the bike is a trail weapon. Fast, light and super capable. And it looks good too. As our season came to an end and we are all taking a break we decided to run a selection of Trek Slash 9.8 enduro machines. Scott the owner has been on ..read more

DO YOU REALLY NEED THE KITCHEN SINK ON YOUR RIDE? For quite a while now I have been extoling the benefits of riding with a utility belt. I’ve been copping a whole lot of flak about it too. People pointing and giggling and mates arguing over what I might be carrying in my “bumbag”. “You look like a twat” is the most common feedback I get, but luckily none of this fazes me as I have a dry back, plenty of spare parts and hair grooming products, and I just know it looks great with my socks and SPD sandals.
