This is my first time at the Whangamata mountain bike park in the Coromandel. This is one of New Zealand's most beautiful areas the question is how good are the tracks. I take my KTM Prowler E bike to find out.

Love all your videos. Can you please make a video compariing Bikes from The Warehouse vs youe bike? We own Mountain bikes from warehouse bikes and struggle to ride them on trails like this especially going up hill even on small incline

@bestdayevermtb2 Жыл бұрын

This is an interesting idea but not a new one. Many youtubers have done things similar in the states. It does mean me going and buying a bike from the warehouse, something I really don't want to do. I guess it can be harder starting on an entry level bike, but we have all been there and the good news is if you can do it on a basic bike then when you get a good one you will find it even easier. One thing I would suggest is buying a second hand 26inch bike. You can buy what would have been a very high-end bike in its day very cheaply. Keep up the riding.

Maybe it's the go-pro effect but those track grades looked 1 grade too high for the actual difficulty... That Double Black looks like something I could do without issue, and I'm a single black rider at best.

Can the people rating the tracks sort out what is what? Grade 5 used to be the highest. Now we have grade 6 that has nothing that hard on it. Grade 7 next?

@bestdayevermtb2 2 жыл бұрын

Grading is very inconsistent both in NZ and around the world. Numbers 1 to 5 or 1 to 6 , colours green, blue, red, black. Or green blue black, double black. Then red for a pro line. Then diamonds. I often ride black trails that I find very easy through to blacks that are almost unrideable for me. I can't see this being sorted anytime soon. If you put a trail on trail forks you get to decide on the grade.

@MrSupermugen 2 жыл бұрын

@@bestdayevermtb2 It seriously bothers me Down south, blue trails range from being easy to rough asf.. all in the same park lol. Theres alot of blue trails that are blacks. Its weird as quite often our blues relate to blacks in the states etc.
