In this video I’m riding my favorite downhill trail in the Redwoods Forest, Rotorua. This track is the perfect mix of everything I love about riding here—rough, techy sections that keep you honest, and faster jumpy bits where you can really let the bike run. I’m basically just out there chasing that flow, linking the features, and showing why this is the one trail I keep coming back to. If you’re into Rotorua riding (or you’re planning a trip), this is a solid look at what the Redwoods can throw at you in one run: chunky tech, speed, and jumps all in the same trail. The big takeaway is that it’s not just “fast” or “technical”—it’s both, and that’s what makes it so fun. I hope you enjoy the ride-along and get a feel for the trail’s vibe, because this is peak Rotorua downhill for me.
