It's been a while since Spoke has thrown a premiere, but in July we are going to host three Kranked Revolve premieres. Rotorua and Wellington on July 3rd, and the Queenstown date is still to be confirmed but hopefully I will have a date this arvo. READ MORE
Just found this sweet little clip of Nelson lad Kieran Bennett riding at the last round of the World Cup up on the Bike website.
I do despise sending people away from the Spoke website but Singletrack have outdone themselves this time. They have posted up there favourites from the 2010 Specialized media kit and as well as that they have posted the entire media kit as a veiwable and zoomable page reading document, you can check it out here. Now you'll know more than you local Specialized dealer!

Kelly being a pussy and hitting the 10m double not the 17m one.
I just got off the phone with Kelly and it turns out hes not a wimp after all and ponied up and hit EVERYTHING. He's planing on backing that 17m double very soon. Ckeck his blog and the DOT twitter feed for when it goes down. So I got my days a little wrong... Turns out the DH relay was on day two... You know who wins! READ MORE
San Rafael single track
Over the weekend I was fortunate enough to have some spare time in the city of San Francisco. A visit to this part of the world wouldn't be complete without an excursion to check out the riding in the area that is generally regarded as the birth place of mountain biking, Marin County. READ MORE

The Heaphy Track is reckoned by many to be the best long distance singletrack ride in New Zealand. And the Department of Conservation has just (as in today) released its Draft Partial Review of the Kahurangi National Park Management Plan.
