Kaidan Ingersoll wins @naturalselectionbike Aotearoa! 🥇

This guy is the definition of an ATHLETE. @kaidan_ingersoll shows up as a rookie, starts owning practice sessions, and proceeds to set a new bar of consistency and tech moves in big terrain. Oh yeah… he also did it on a borrowed bike in run 2. 🤯

The list of major freeride events that @robin_riding_hood hadn’t won yet was very short… now it’s even shorter. 🫡 Congrats Robin, on adding this illustrious new feather to your cap! What a show.

Safe to say, the vibes were high in the Women’s field this year!

With 8 competitors all taking two runs each, it was a huge leap forward in the level of competition compared to last year’s brave 4 who each dropped one run.

Aside from those stats, the level of comradery and support they have for each other is not only impossible to ignore, it’s also a key reason this second year of NST Bike was such a giant leap.

POV of run 2 at @naturalselectionbike

After crashing out on my first run, didn’t feel the need to push super hard so I toned my run & ideas way down. Dropped in having fun and enjoying the sickest line ever built for MTB! To me this contest embodies what Freeride is all about, and proud to be a part of it since day one 🤙 @h5events

A 1080 on a donwhill bike... that’s a lotta bike to spin around 3 times, and that’s exactly the reason it had never been stomped in a competition run until this moment.

@nicholirogatkin put all his chips on the table with this Twister on the final jump in Run 1 and made history.

Here’s my full run 1 at NST ⛰️✨

This event was a huge mental battle for me after not competing in finals last year. I was battling a lot of stress and self doubts during practice. But once I made it to finals day, I was loving the course! The whole experience gave me so much confidence and now I’m super fired up for next year!!

Sorry about my language forgot I was on tv 👀 Run 2 from @naturalselectionbike securing me 5th place 😝

Always a treat watching @nicholirogatkin do his thing. Shout out to all the riders that competed @naturalselectionbike and congrats to @kaidan_ingersoll
