The Bikelife Circus – This project took around 4 weeks to complete. We wanted to push ourselves mentally and physically in this project as well as push the scene by introducing a whole new style of tricks.
The Pike 29 Memorial Track was built as a living memorial to the men who died in the 2010 Pike mining disaster It was sculpted into the landscape by passionate mountain bikers and track builders and is a world-class and first-of-its-kind mountain bike track which doubles and New Zealand’s 10th Great Walk.
This video shows some of the exploits of the team who built it called the Bush Walruses. MTB track designer and digger operator Milty Coultas, explosives specialist and track shaper Tom Woodward, and tree fellers Logan and Felix.
We cut the track through the bush over three long years while exposed, battered and frost bitten by the elements on the West Coast. It was the most extreme construction site that any of us had worked at.
Here’s my full race run down the crazy urban MTB downhill track in Medellin, Colombia! I love these urban mountain bike races because it is so sick to race through the streets in front of all the screaming locals! The city of Medellin was amazing and I was so happy to have been invited there. – Sam Pilgrim
