In this one I’m riding Anxiety — a super steep, super technical Grade 6 trail in the Redwoods, Rotorua. If you’ve spent any time in the forest you’ll know Grade 6 isn’t a “cruise it and hope” kind of trail. It’s the kind of line where you commit early, stay loose, and let the bike do its thing while you pick your way through the steep tech. The whole point of this video is showing what Anxiety actually feels like to ride: steep sections, awkward tech, and that proper “don’t mess this up” vibe that comes with Rotorua’s gnarlier tracks. If you’re thinking about stepping up to Grade 6, this is a good reminder to ride within your limits, keep your setup dialled, and build confidence on easier trails before sending something like this. And if you’re in Rotorua and need parts, advice, or a hand getting your bike sorted, I’ve linked my local shop Cycle Obsession because they’re the crew I point people to.
