Mountain Biking NZ 2006

Mountain Bikin' NZ.....and yes, it's not a typo. It was in the year 2006!

It has taken me over 3 years to collate the albums of Ming, Broken Arm and myself, edit them and upload them onto Kodak gallery! Reason : too busy...and just plain lazy!

So, why Kiwiland?


Unparallelled beauty...

Skydiving over breathtaking Lord of the Rings scenery....

Donning of penguin suits...

Bluebones (then red-haired Firefly) rides over the Land Over the Long White Cloud...

Dial-a-Lama

Gettin' cozy with NZ wool...

Gettin' stuck in Korean jail located somewhere in Lord of the Rings Part 2

Did I say, this place is absolutely gorgeous?

Backdrops to die for....tho' we didn't attempt any suicidal stunts on the grade 2 trails....
