DHaRCO rarely makes a big marketing deal out of minor upgrades🤔

​My guess? They probably view listening to rider feedback and refined design for a better ride as business as usual.

​While this reel is about a small glove tweak, I’ve noticed subtle improvements like this across their jerseys and pants over the years too—things they never even bother mentioning!!👀(why!)

They just keep refining their gear, year after year.

​Just to be clear, this isn’t a sponsored post or ad. I just noticed these details, love the quality, and thought: if they’re not going to brag about it, I will.

​Definitely worth checking out!🔥

This is why I love riding ZERODE bikes❤️‍🔥

When I first heard about gearbox bikes, I assumed they'd feel heavy. After all, a gearbox drivetrain is slightly heavier than a traditional drivetrain.

But the moment I rode one, my opinion completely changed👊

The bike feels incredibly stable on fast, rough descents, yet it never feels heavy when jumping, even on big Grade 6 jump lines (and I love jumping!)☠️

The reason is simple. The extra weight is positioned low and in the centre of the bike, exactly where you want it. That lower, more central mass gives the bike amazing stability and handling without making the bike feel sluggish.

It's the same principle as weight distribution in a performance car. Car enthusiasts know how important it is to keep the weight low and centred for better handling. I know a lot of you are car people... yep, I'm talking to you. 😉

If you ever visit Wellington, I highly recommend booking a demo ride with ZERODE. They have demo bikes available, and I think you'll understand exactly what I mean after your first ride.

This bike completely changed the way I ride. Give one a try, and let me know what you think! 🤘

Woodhill Mountain Bike Park has just opened a brand new trail, Cats Pyjamas 🐈️🔥

It's packed with fun, flowy berms all the way to the bottom. 🤘

A few sections are still a bit soft and muddy, so ride smart and keep an eye out. 👀

At the bottom, you'll roll straight onto Quick Link, making it back to the top for another lap.

The trail sits right next to Ghost Chips, so definitely give it a go this weekend!!!

Huge thanks to the trail crew for all the hard work. You legends have absolutely nailed this one. 🙌

Very proud of what he has done! 😮‍💨❤️‍🔥

​He loves jumps, but when he first started, he had to pedal between the jumps to clear them, which wasn't ideal. So, I convinced him to practice pumping first to generate more speed naturally. 🤝

​We also sat down and talked face-to-face about what was holding him back and making him nervous. We broke down everything: body posture on the lip, speed control, and line choice. We even adjusted his suspension setup, bar height, and more—everything tailored specifically for jumping.

​He stayed patient, put in the work, and today he finally cleared all of them! Such a talented rider in my bike club. Can't wait to see where he goes from here! 🚀

​Auckland Schools Shreddah Funduro Series - Race 2 at Maraetai 🏁

​Stoked to have spent the day out at Maraetai for Race 2! The energy was incredible and the talent on display was next level🔥

​It’s been a minute since I’ve seen everyone due to my injury, and honestly, I barely recognized some of you!😂 Seeing how much you’ve grown—getting taller and your voices dropping—made me realize how much time has passed, but you’re all still the same legends to me.

​Big shoutouts to the crew:

​Lucas : I knew you have a potential. Huge congrats on the win🎉 You crushed it. I see you have been riding a lot to be fast. You are the best dude.

​Taj : Congrats on P2🏆 Hitting the 8-minute mark shows how much you’ve improved. Keep riding with those faster than you and you’ll level up even more🤙

​Carter : That "never give up" attitude is what it's all about. So impressive to watch. You showed us such a sick riding. Hope your finger is okay!

​Lucas G: Such a skilled rider bro❤️‍🔥 You’ve got a great support crew behind you! Enjoy the next stage and looking forward to seeing your ride!

​Mitch: Hope you had a blast shredding that Kona. I could see you respect your friends at the ceremony👏 I respect you mate. Keep it up!

​Eito: Love the style and that new weapon of yours🤙 I can’t believe how tall you’ve gotten! Respect friends, parents and enjoy your ride!

​Ryan: Missed you on track but caught up with your dad, Mark. Hope you cleared all 6 stages safely! Can't wait to see you!!

​To all the boys: Being fast is awesome, but it’s just one way to love MTBing. Whether it’s hitting jumps, chatting on the climbs, or just chilling in the forest—if you had fun today, you’ve already won.

-----------------
​Quick Note⚠️
I might not make it to 440 next Sunday, so keep these tips in mind:
1. ​Check your tyre pressures.
2. Roll through slowly first to check lines and discuss the best lines and scope out the gnarly sections together.

​Rest up this week. You guys are the ones motivating me to get back on the bike! See you on the trails soon. 👊🚲

This is why I chose Zerode Bikes👇️

Zerode runs a gearbox, not a derailleur and cassette🤯 This means a lighter rear wheel and all the heavy parts tucked away near the bottom bracket — giving you better balance and control on the trail.

My Taniwha weighs 17.5kg with DH tyres, and the cornering grip is unreal🔥 I can lean it over way more than I expected — feels so much more planted than a regular 29” full-suspension bike. Shoutout to the Pirelli tyres too. If you want a lighter bike, get a trail bike version of Taniwha(mullet) or Katipo(29" bike)

And, no chain! Instead, it’s a carbon belt, like a car’s timing belt. No more broken chains, no chain slap, no chain guide needed. It’s super quiet, so you actually hear the forest. Wash it, dry it, done🤝

Best part is Smart Shift. You can shift even when you’re stopped. No need to lift the rear wheel or spin the pedals — just press a button, and it shifts instantly with a slick robotic sound😎

Battery life? Way better than expected. I only charge it once every 5 weeks, even though I ride almost every day. You can also check the battery anytime with the Pinion Smart Shift app.

If you’ve got any questions about the Taniwha mullet, just comment or DM us. Want to test ride? Come find me at Woodhill MTB Park.

Such a great session with the boys today! 😄

We had a video session where each pair of boys recorded one another—it was like a mini video contest❤️‍🔥

Using our own cellphones and GoPros, they filmed their buddy’s riding for about half an hour and then showed us their best clip.

We awarded prizes for both the best rider and the best cameraman. Some of the clips recorded by the boys are included in this video🔥

For our next programs, we’ll be preparing more prizes (but no free GoPros, haha).

Looking forward to seeing you all again soon at Woodhill Mountain Bike Park!
