This Is Gonna Be Amazing

Seeing That You’re Holding Onto This Magazine, I’m Going To Go Ahead And Presume You’re Into Mountain Biking. In That Case, Maybe You’Ve Heard The Exciting News That Christchurch, New Zealand, Is Getting A New Playground. Well It’s True, There’S Now Another Very Good Reason For You To Help Prop Up The New Zealand Economy And Take A Trip Over To The Home Of Flat Whites And Pavlova.

Let me paint a picture for you. Close your eyes and imagine Whistler in the summer. Long, well made, flowy trails weaving through the pine forest. Riding through long summer evenings with a group of your best mates. Epic vistas stretching across the hills and beyond as far as the eye can see, the sun gradually sinking, the last rays filtering golden through the pines. You pull up after your last run and throw your helmet down on a table just outside the bar, you take your knee pads off and kick your dusty shoes up on the seat in front of you, and sit back with a pint of the good stuff.

Sounds good right? Perhaps the kind of evening you find yourself daydreaming about, whilst staring blankly at your computer screen, having just refreshed Facebook for the thousandth time. Well, my fellow rider, your dreams can shortly become your reality.

Christchurch (biggest city in the South Island, previously known for earthquakes) is getting quite the Christmas gift this year.

The Christchurch Adventure Park will open its doors over the festive period, to a community which has been eagerly awaiting its arrival since the first rumours were circulated many moons ago. Residents of Christchurch, and visitors from far and wide are preparing for a life changing event.
