LOOP News![]() 9 NOV 07: NOW... HELI-BIKING!The idea is already big business in Canada, US and New Zealand, with France and Romania taking it up in Europe. The extreme sport takes place in summer, using unused skiing facilities. The drops for riders can be up to 7000ft, on previously inaccessible trails. Interested? Look for heli-bike companies on the website of the International Mountain Bike Association (www.imba.org.uk). One such company is Vertigo Bikes of Queenstown, New Zealand. It offers a trip with a vertical drop of 1600 metres and a bike trip time of approx 4 hours for NZ $299 (£110) plus $15 national park heli landing fee. W: www.vertigobikes.co.nz | |||||||
