Krankin Kids is a hit. Starting out with 40 kids in the first offering, it climbed to 108, then a massive 120 kids last week - all stoked to be riding their bikes.
Here at Santa Cruz Bicycles and Juliana Bicycles New Zealand we are really proud to be supporting the next generation of shredders here in our hood.
When the entry date for the Dodzy Memorial Enduro rolled round I was probably calmer than most as I knew I wouldn't race but partake once again as a volunteer, stoked! No one looks after their volunteers like Nick and the crew at the gorge, it is a rad weekend with epic food, good entertainment, swimming and our own volunteers ride day up there at a later date - I felt I got the better deal!
But as it drew closer to race date something in my mind changed and I suddenly really really wanted to race! Now I felt rather stressed about the fact that I might not find an entry!? But as things in life have a tendency to it worked out in the end and my name was on the list!
ANDREA TURNER DEMYSTIFIES THE ART OF SUSPENSION SETUP
When you understand how your suspension works, in the science-y sense, and then you actually feel that on the bike, it's pretty cool. Like a lot of us, I am often hard on myself about my riding skills. I keep telling myself to push harder and work on this or that. But sometimes I get to thinking no, it isn’t me, it’s the bike! And once in a while, I'm right, and I am able to make adjustments to my suspension that help solve the issues I am experiencing (cue the ah-ha moment)!
