If your not hooked up with sponsors, it's still pretty easy to get a good deal on a bike in nz. Plenty of ways around having to pay retail.

Good write up Jason. Choice to catch up again.

As young as I can remember I always built jupms and ramps to play on. Early teens, I was a skater and we had no skate park in our area, so we built one at my house. All the local skaters would come and hang out it was cool. Then later on when I got into biking I built dirt jumps and pump tracks. It was just a natural progression of wanting to play on something so you build it. I was fortunate to stmble upon a trail building contract back in 2009 to go to Chile and build trail. I've been a paid Trail Builder ever since. I love building trail. Its my hobby, my passion, my life, my lively hood. It puts a roof over my families heads and puts food on the table. But the job satisfaction is intense. I love being able to have the skillset ro build tracks that not only offer fun and thrills but also mental therapy for people. Trail building is everything to me. If someone asks what id do otherwise, honestly there is no other answer. I hope ro be a track builder for life. Making a career of it and providing happiness to thousands of riders for years to come.
