TTFs on TrailDrop, Jump, Gap Jump
Tūteata is starts fast and open at the top with some drops and jumps and then after you cross the road it continues fast and gets steeper and more technical with off camber traverses, steep corners, and is super fun. Flows really nicely Be prepared for off camber and dropping corners!
Tūteata was built thanks to Maxxis, and all who contributed through purchasing the special edition Taiaha released for Crankworx Rotorua in 2019
