Shaun ‘Magoo’ McComb scores the cover launching off a Treble Cone rock. Dylan Butt spins us through a backside 360 in the pipe in “Trick Tip”, and NZS checks out Craigieburn with Neils Ijpelaar and Jamie Bassett. Our “Photo Section” looks at three distinct areas of New Zealand – North Island, Canterbury, and Southern Lakes. Riders include Steve Edgecombe, Ryan Bluett, Deni Bevin, Nick Bourke, Suzy Parker, Joel Westcot, and Mel Thomas. “Olympic Solidarity Camps” is an in-depth look at the top 20 competitive riders during a training camp run at Cardrona, with a hard-hitting synopsis on each. Comps covered include Harro’s World Heli Challenge and The Wanaka Big Air, which is won by Sam Deavoll with a frontside 900. Suzy Parker gives us some “Riding Tips” about doing 180’s, and in “Fast Forward” we profile Tim Jackways and Steve Ferguson.
