Epic Trip To New Zealand

Hey Everyone,
This is Focus team rider Alex Zipperer stopping by to post a few things about my recent trip to the South Island of New Zealand. I just went on the best trip of my life, I went to New Zealand and traveled the South Island for 18 days. We started off our trip in a very remote town called Arthur's pass and rode at Craigieburn, and Mt.Cheeseman. We then went South to a small sheep town called Fairlie where we stayed at a sheep farm. This farm was over 900 acres and had over 2,000 sheep. While in Fairlie We rode Mt.Dobson where we got our best snow and RoundHill. We would then spend our next few days in Twizel and ride at Ohau, where we ended up seeing Andreas Wiig, Pat Moore, Torah Bright, And Jake Welch. After that our group made our way to our first city Wanaka, where we rode Snowpark and Cardrona. Then to round off our trip we went to Queenstown and rode The Remarkables. Overall this trip was EPIC. I would really like to than
k Sean Busby my guide for giving me this opportunity, my parents for supporting me, and Dobbe for hooking me up with a sick Never Summer Evo.
