Gorge Road Trails Closing Down and Moving

The legendary Gorge Road Trails will be closing down and finding a new home…

I woke up this morning to a message from my brother @lowellsmyth who lives in Queenstown and works at the Gorge Rd trails. Looks like the city council is moving the jumps to a new location. Really sad because they will never be the same. By the sound of the article it seems like they are on top of finding a new location. If you’ve been to Gorge you know how amazing these jumps are and you’ve seen them transform into what they are now. Let us all know when the last session is so we can try our best to make it there. You boys are all legends! Thank you for letting us be a part of one of the most magical places I’ve ever been to on a BMX.

Above is a news article that Anthony Napolitan shared about the legendary Gorge Road Trails closing down and having to move to a new location due to the city of Queenstown needing the space for infrastructure. It wasn’t a decision that was taken lightly and the city and everyone involved with the trails are actively working on a solution in the form of a new spot that they can re-build / build a new spot that is equally as incredible. We’ve seen hundreds of videos from the place and countless riders have hopped a plane to New Zealand specifically to ride this place, so the city understands just how much of an asset this place is for the community. We had heard some rumors about a year or two ago that eventually the trails would need to close down, but figured it was just a rumor or it wasn’t anything coming up soon. The time has come and they’ll have to relocate. We have a feeling Gorge Road 2.0 will be even more incredible.
