TOP 9 POSTS OF 2019

2020 is tomorrow! Shit that has come around fast. Another decade in the books with probably another 4 to go I reckon. 2019 has been fun, and we thought we would re-cap the top 9 of 2019, as clicked on by you.

NUMBER 9

Coming in at number 9 - the cancellation of Tussock Buster was a big blow for 2019 after the attacks in Christchurch put the NZ military forces on alert. 2020 is a go and we plan to be Tussock Busting our butts off in March this year.

NUMBER 8

Number 8 sees all the action from the Tokoroa Enduro, which was round three of the NZ Enduro Champs. This little video edit shows what NZ Enduro is all about.

NUMBER 7

Doing a little better than the action video was the post race interviews from Tokoroa. Featuring the best NZ racers in the country, plus Ben Townley, this video was a favourite among bush bashers.

NUMBER 6

Sitting at number 6 - Kawasaki released what looked to be a brand new bike, a 300cc four stroke trail machine. But looking deeper it was the KLX of old with some updated plastics and a little more grove to it. This is a KLX that I wouldn’t mind seeing in the garage.

NUMBER 5

Schools cross country is becoming bigger and bigger and 2020 will see even more school XC events around the country. it attracted over 800 watchers on the site, plus hundreds more on YouTube.

NUMBER 4

What a Gem number 3 was - the Husqvarna 701 Enduro. We we able to hold onto the 701 for nearly two-months and loved every minute of it. riding it to and from work, the long way round was probably the best part. Plus exploring Raglan with the OnThrottle crew. This post garnered over 800 clicks as well.

NUMBER 3

Truth be told - we are pretty luck in NZ when it comes to riding areas. We don’t need rego on our bikes and farmers are happy for us to tear up their land. Thanks guys! But we still need to do out part to ensure future generations get the same access that we do. It’s all up to us. Just under 1000 view on this means we are all thinking about it at the very least.

NUMBER 2

With over 1000 unique views, the number 2 post for 2019 was the 2019 YZ250F maps - they were a huge hit, and not only from Kiwis. We were getting bombed from everywhere in the world for these maps and we are more than happy to share the good stuff we find. So get mapping people!

NUMBER 1

And drum roll, please……. Murdering everyone else in the click count with a whopping 2738 unique visits, and coming in at number 1 was the KTM is Being Sold post. Orange lovers lost their shit over this news and probably started to have nervous breakdowns too. EVERYONE wanted to know what the story was with KTM and where that would leave them in the dirt biking fraternity. Thankfully the dust settled and everyone got back to business - which was buying more KTMs!

Happy new year to everyone. Enjoy your night and we will see you at the first trail ride of the year at Maramarua Forest.
