Trail Notes

Dim lights

Trail Notes is a collection of stories capturing the lifestyles of passionate mountainbikers from the Southern Hemisphere Mecca of Rotorua New Zealand and the infamous trails of the Whakarewarewa forest. The film follows four unique individuals and showcases their stories of how mountainbiking captivated their lives and what has drawn them to the sport and the intoxicating location of the forest. Each of these interconnected stories creates a tapestry of the local scene that mimics the winding trails. These stories of personal battles, commitment and passion to the sport of mountainbiking, illustrate both the individual and collective culture that these trails breed.

So long (for now) ..Pat

You may or may not be aware that I have left Malaysia for a while. (And depending on how long you've been involved with the MTB scene, you may or may not even know who I am, or care). Regardless, I would like to take a moment to thank those of you who have made the last 9 years a very special time in my life, and to leave all of you with some parting thoughts.

There is a danger to naming names because if I inadvertently miss any of you you may get the idea that you didn't make a difference to me, and that is just not so. So if you ever set a Bash, put in a year as a KLMBH or TRAKS committee member, adopted a trail (and actually did some work on it) or joined a TRAKS trail day you made a difference to me, though I may not mention your name here. And if you were one of the following people you were something more, way beyond ordinary, and you have a special place in my heart because of it. Joe Adnan, Huang Ying How, Nick Ong, Stan Ng, Yong Foo Chuen, Melody Tan, Adele Chia, Steve Flintstone, Tan Boon Foo, Phil Bee, Derald Cook, Mike Tighe, Simon Jeffrey, Scott Roberts, Olivier Falcoz, any body with the last name of Stapleton or Moir. If I asked for help, all you asked was when and where. If I asked for blood, you only asked how much. It's people like you that are the heart of a community because you understand that you have to put in to get something back.
