NZMTB Podcast | How Crankworx ended up in Rotorua – Catching up with Tak Mutu

PODCAST

MTB – Sharing the STOKE!

In this episode, I chat with Tak Mutu who has been local to Rotorua his whole life and absolutely loves the place. We hear about how Rotorua landed Crankworx – one of the biggest Mountain Bike festivals in the world, what he has seen happen in Rotorua since we hosted a world cup downhill round, the birth of the mountain bike park at Skyline Rotorua, and his involvement in the mountain bike community!

Here at NZMTB we work with one of Tak’s businesses, Mountain Bike Rotorua, for bike hire and shuttles in Rotorua. It has also been awesome to see MBR grow from a portercom and a container or two into what it is today with multiple sites, coffee, bike hire and shuttle services.

Check out the Crankworx Rotorua website here – Buy some tickets and come and check out the world-class riding first hand!
