Pedal Pushers should be able to get parts you want.
The only downhill riding is at kahutawara, and there is a downhill track and another that is more freeride.
Otherwise theres levin(30mins south), wanganui(1hr north) and wellington (1 hr 45min south) for downhill and kapiti bike park (1hr south) for more freeride orientated riding.

Hey dude
if you want spares for your ride, and you want a good mechanic pedal pushers is your option
Mo, one of our mechanics is a DH racer (and a great mechanic)
I work there also as the parts guy / warrenty guy / general job guy and also know a wee bit about DH (been riding DH off and on now for over 10 years)
local tracks we have got some runs out at our local area called K-loop
come on in (we're the biger of the two local shops) and ask for Dean

I use 2.5 minion fronts. It doesn't seem to get really slippery that you need muds.

Just to put it out there Pedal Pushes isnt the only bike shop in town, There is another one called Crank it Cycles, which also has an awesome mechanic and great service.

Yea all of that video was filmed in Palmy, the roll down to those jumps was destroyed........ But There is some other dj's arounb that are just as good. When you come to palmy ill show you around all the good urban and dj spots.
