Can I conquer RIFF RAFF? Rotorua gnar at its best.

I tackle the rebuilt Riff Raff, a grade 5 mountain bike trail in Rotorua.
This was always a steep gnarly track but a new feature has been added that looks extra challenging.
I am riding with Tony from Seniors on E KZfaq channel.

Fantastic guiding from that guy in front 😉. Looking forward to the future vids that’ll show why I’m dirty down my right side and a little cautious on those drops… Great vid 🤙

You’ll have to make it a 4 part mini series. What a day that was!!!

Wow what a hard core trail looks fun tho to do. I like a bit of tic Nicole now and again. I think Jamie from New Zealand Mountain biking has done that trail before as usual he made it look easy. All ways looking forward to watching your next video Lance

Awesome stuff guys..that's a very intimidating track! And possibly the only track in rotorua with that many thistles!

Well done Lance, I think I would have trouble walking my bike down that😳. Very enjoyable watch though for both yourself and Tony, some of those features almost look to be a grade 6. Thanks again for the awesome video & happy new year 👍

Bloody Hell Lance. I could see myself spending a few months or more in hospital. If I ever attempted that track 😂. Can't remember ever hearing you pass on a feature and for go reason. I'm running very low on Talent credit. Thanks for your video's keep up the great work! P.s KieranB on utube shows him jumping all those features! Kieran was struggling

Must check that out. You never know might be doable one day but hard pass at the moment.

I gave those 2 features a wide berth as well 😅

the ridiculous thing about Riff Raff is that the B lines are Hero lines on any other trail!!!!

First thought would be....when are they finishing it! Even on the Go Pro that looks sphincter tightening!

I think a lot of water has run down it. Will be better when the trees grow back.

Those prickles looked pretty annoying, rough track but I guess the more you ride it the more comfortable you get

Should rename the track Hard Pass, who built it, features seems a little out of usual for the PC police brigade of recent years..

The old trail was originally built for the EWS and was challenging with no B lines. It got easier over the years and I imagine this track will also.

@Gee-1979 Жыл бұрын

Local trail builder named Logan I believe. It's a definite step up from most of the other Grade 5s in the forest.
