Riding mountain bikes is more than just a hobby. It’s a way of life. It’s how we met our best friends, it’s a reason to travel, a vessel for life-changing experiences; motivation to get outside, an appreciation for the outdoors, good times with like-minded people, being a part of something much bigger. Its shaped us into the people we are today...
As a (very) small and independent brand, Airdrop isn’t focussed on selling, profit, and growth. For us it’s about building something better; a great place to work, an amazing team, doing cool shit, building great bikes, meeting awesome customers and most importantly building stuff we can be proud of. That’s what we're all about.
No one epitomises this better than the Vertigo bikes crew in Queenstown, New Zealand. Vertigo is the local bike shop we wish we all had. A community hub first and a bike shop second, they have a strong focus on giving back; be that nurturing local talent, organising events or raising money for the local MTB club. A close-knit group of shredders, with Paul Angus and Tim Ceci at the helm... Without a doubt they are definitely all about it.
Now get the kettle on, sit back and enjoy 6 minutes of Callum Wood's best snaps.

Rockshox recently released the Pike DJ to the new Electric Red colour. We like to make sure that we keep our bikes up to date, so we took the opportunity to give the Fade Core a bit of a refresh.
We've partnered up with True North Cycle Hub to give you the chance to demo an Edit MX in Wharncliffe Woods on Saturday 14th June, 2025.
