First of all I don't understand why he wore his batman cape. Secondly, why would you ride through some of the most beautiful country on the planet and concentrate so much on riding so fast that you miss all that beauty. Must have fallen and hit his head a couple of times.

.....HERE is the link to how the film was made, real dinkum New Zealand Heli Mountain Biking, no stunt men were riding, Kelly is a professional freeride mountain biker, and if you Google "Heli biking New Zealand ", you will see lots more of our beautiful country, and the extreme sport of Heli-Biking.

Thanks Nancy. That was pretty interesting. I have a nephew who lives in New Zealand and my daughter spent Christmas and New Year touring New Zealand. She loved it and sent back a bunch of cool photos. I hear the brown trout fishing down there is great. :thumbup: :thumbup: :-D

Hi, we live in the North Island, about 2 hours north of Wellington. However, our country is smallish, compared with anywhere else, roughly about the same size as Colorado!!! If your nephew lives anywhere near Palmerston North or Wanganui, would he like to visit us?? Cheers, Nancy

I sure wish I could have went with him. I love riding in a helicopter...and I'd be in it when it left. As for the bike...I'll let that to the young guys. Thanks for the link.
