NST Bike Aotearoa New Zealand will feature the world’s best freeride mountain bikers charging against Queenstown’s dramatic backdrop. The innovative venue on Mt. Dewar blends big mountain terrain and freestyle features across multiple intersecting lines and drastically breaks away from the single line traditional slopestyle event.

We invite you to witness the very best riders on Saturday 15th February 2025 (with a weather day on Sunday 16th February) as we create freeriding history, pushing this rider driven competition to the next level.

Formally known as Proving Grounds NZ, NST Bike Aotearoa New Zealand will bring together these riders from big mountain, slopestyle, freeride, and downhill to showcase the pinnacle of the sport and you can join us.
