Did some gondola runs in queenstown yesterday. Awesome. Was a late change of plan - rain is forecast later in the week. Spec Status was booked out so hired the Nukeproof Scalp instead. It rocked. First full face experience for me. First knee pads experience for me, not to mention DH. Off to go trekking - hope the forecast is wrong and I can have more hooting down Original, hammies and tackle more of the black runs with elbow pads after that, next weekend.
No strava times yet Snail. Your white Lycra would fit right in.
Outside sports guy rated the Nukeproof over the status. And the specialized demo above that. Tempted to go with what I know & stick with the Nukeproof. Very forgiving MZ bomber 888 forks.
The yeti (or at lest my wheels) would be in bits... Even if I managed to stay on it.
