We went to the NWD 6 launch last night, great night! Thanks for VicMTB for putting it on and shouting us a few beers!!
The movie was great, alot of new tricks and innovative stuff. The movie is definitely more freeride these days, i don’t recall any downhill racing and Steve Peat and Nathan Rennie were not even in it from memory. Alot of people were saying that NWD 5 was better, but i am yet to decide. I will make an informed decision when we receive our review copy and do the full review on it (keep checking us out for it).
Before the launch we made a visit to that red wall ride on the steps of the treasury. We hit it several times, was alot more stable than i initially thought and gripped up well (with holy rollers) provided you hit it at the right angle. Which i didn’t one time, nice bruise on my thigh for that mistake!
Stay tuned for the NWD 6 review and a photo shoot of that wallride, unfortunately we didn’t get any snaps.
