Good challenge to successfully restore this wonderful film about the NZ Forestry Service in the 1970s about the Redwoods, Whakarewarewa Forest, commercial and early days of recreational use from an old VHS to digital HD! 🎥📼⚒

With the passing of a true Redwoods, Whakarewarewa Forest legend, Neil Oliver (https://bit.ly/35omS5E / Rotorua Daily Post), it seems like an appropriate time to replay this NZ Forestry Service film from the 1970s about the early days of the recreational use of the forest...voiced by Sir Bob Parker...
Thanks to Chriss Taylor from those NZFS days for the VHS, and Fever Pitch Visuals Ltd + bluedog media Rotorua for the pro bono restoration.

Great to transfer this from an old and dodgy VHS to digital - the tape may not have last much longer!! :)
Out forest where we all live, work and play...

Before the mountain bike trails there were walkers, runners, horse riders, even those on road bikes (including Raleigh 20s) enjoying the Whakarewarewa Forest roads. The first official recreational trails were built in the late 1970s by the NZ Forest Service (disestablished in 1987 when the forests were privatised, but on the way back; both because of the New Zealand Labour Party)...This film is from 1986.
Many thanks to Chriss Taylor, who worked for the NZFS and helped build the trails and the Information Centre on Long Mile Road and supplied the VHS - and is the guy felling the big tree and Ric Balfour is the ranger with the tree planters.
Thanks to Graeme Simpson from bluedog media Rotorua - and to Simon Hunt from Fever Pitch Visuals Ltd for the delicate transfer!

Big day today, bigger tomorrow with LIVE updates on one of the premier one-day MTB challenges, around, on Emerson's Whaka100 page and also www.whaka100.co.nz

Thanks to Philly Angus + Mark Leishman on the mikes 🎤👊

Day one of Emerson's Whaka100 weekend was a big success with the Rotorua Isuzu Shoot Out Time Trial taking place in the Whakarewarewa Forest in Rotorua NZ today. The event was on Rosebank/Twin Peaks - www.riderotorua.com/Rosebank - which was in immaculate condition and run under magnificent blue skies.

Australia’s Jon Odams won with a time of 00:05:43.
“It was awesome. I did the race 9 years ago when I was new to marathon riding and racing and today I really wanted to get a good time and maybe come in the first three or five, so to win, it’s not expected but it’s really awesome.”

Odams said winning the Shoot Out plays a big part mentally in knowing you’re riding well and holding speed on the single track.
“For me, the race is about being as efficient and fast as you can across the whole thing.”

Odams won Cape to Cape, a 4 day MTB stage race in Western Australia last weekend with his team mate Brendan Johnston so said he was feeling in good form.
“I have done normal training for marathons and stage races but going into this one is like Christmas because I love the single track here so much.”

Queenstown’s Kate Fluker was the first female with a time of 00:06:40.
“I didn’t really know what to expect, I haven’t done much shorter stuff lately but I’m starting to feel my groove back on the bike so it’s really good.
“I’ve been out on a lot of big rides. We live in Queenstown so it’s a perfect opportunity to get out in the hills and ride around for three or four hours.”

Fluker said she would be stoked to get the overall win at Emerson’s Whaka100 tomorrow.
“I would be stoked, but anything can happen on the day and Karen [Hill] is obviously riding well too. It’s going to be a good challenge out there tomorrow.”

Karen Hill finished in second place and was 5 seconds behind Kate Fluker while Glenn Haden was 2 seconds behind Jon Odams.

Defending champion Tim Rush came in fifth place with a time of 00:05:51.
Defending women's champion, Josie Wilcox withdrew from the event due to an injury.

Event Director Tim Farmer from NDuro Events said the event went very well with riders battling it out and an increase in women racing this year.

“The Shoot Out set a really exciting tone for going into Emerson’s Whaka100 tomorrow. It was great to see riders out there battling it out with Tim Rush is in fifth place and there are some very good Australian riders too.”

The Shoot Out course is 2.3km and about 5-8 minutes to complete at an average pace.

The fastest rider sits on the hot seat until a faster rider knocks them off. The rider left sitting on the hot seat at the end wins $250, while the overall top riders in each of the 100, 50km and 25km distances gain seeding priority for the Whaka100 on Sunday.

There was a live webcast which proved to be a success, with supporters tuning in from home to watch, as well as a big screen set up at the venue for spectators to watch from.
There'll be more livestream coverage on the Emerson's Whaka100 2019 page and on www.whaka100.co.nz

Emerson’s Whaka100 takes place tomorrow, with the seeding order being announced on the Whaka100 website at 9pm tonight.
