Adventure Bikes- no need to prebook

Adventure knows no bounds at Thundercross!

We warmly welcome adventure bikes at Thundercross to ride our tracks alongside dirt bikes, quads and UTVs. Our Thundercross community are all united by their love of cross country riding.

Safety is our top priority at Thundercross. All riders are required to wear a chest protector, dirt bike boots and dirt bike helmet. If yours is different, we will ask you to hire one of ours, please. We can sort these out for you when you sign in at the Wool Shed.

So, rev up your engine and prepare for an adrenaline-fueled journey through our thrilling tracks.

The adventure never stops – join us and experience the ride of a lifetime!

NO NEED TO PRE-BOOK AT THUNDERCROSS WHEN YOU ARE RIDING YOUR OWN BIKE!

Just sign-in at the Wool Shed. All visitors must sign in, including children and spectators, please.

* Female youth on their own bikes are free of charge to ride at Thundercross. James' daughter used to race cross-country and MotoX when there were not many females in the sport. In order to encourage more girls to participate James decided not to charge them for riding at Thundercross.

If you'd like tuition, James is one of New Zealand's most experienced dirt bike coaches; you will be in good hands. No motorcycle experience or motorcycle licence required. Our experienced Thundercross team will look after you.
