2012 started with a bang in Queenstown and I’m not talking about the New Years Eve fireworks!  Not only did the NZ Downhill Nationals take place at The Remarkables but the first Monster Energy Unofficial New Zealand Pump Track Champs were held at Outside Sports’ Ride Demo Centre. 

After an absolute scorcher of a day on The Remarkables track the riders were a little tired to say the least but that didn’t stop them.  Challenges included fastest lap, best trick, most stylish lap, best crash and last man standing which provided first class entertainment. Matt Walker from Rotorua took home the incredibly ‘bling’ trophy for fastest lap with a time of 18.46 seconds.  Conor MacFarlane took out the field for last man standing quite literally with a few cheeky manoeuvres and Wyn Masters won most stylish lap almost managing to manual the entire track. 

Thanks to Skyline, Atlas Bar and Monster Energy for the great support! 

Drop into the Ride Demo Centre, just down from the Skyline Queenstown Gondola and post your lap time.
