Late last year Whakatane Mtb Club took over the administration and maintenance of the Onepu Mtb Park after losing access to trails in the Rawhiti Forest behind Ohope.

The Queenstown Mtb Club Junior Sub-Committee has been busy educating the youth of today on how to play their part in the maintenance and development of trails. So they got Ground Effect on board and with $900 cash from the Slush Fund were able to purchase a bunch of kid friendly tools.

The Christchurch Singletrack Club have been developing mtb trails in and around Christchurch for the past 15 years. Recently much of their time has been spent developing a trail network in the Halswell area, now officially named the Crocodile XC Mtb Park. The Ground Effect Slush Fund has stepped in with $1000 cash to help with the purchase of an e-barrow.
