Previous Attendees Comments
- If you only have one night a year out, make it this!!
- Anyone into bikes will love these events… more people should attend these events, they are always brilliant – 11/10!!
- Much more than mountain biking films. This was a beautifully curated collection of films each with its own story and while riding bikes was central to most the films were about so much more and would appeal to a much broader group than just keen riders.
- 5 stars Very cool event showcasing a great diversity of bike-related adventure and history from all around the world.
- Wowski!! So inspiring!!!!
So… listen to the voice inside you; it’s telling you to go.
Thanks to presenting partner Cycle Journeys you could WIN A PAPAROA TRACK GIVEAWAY for you and a friend when you buy a ticket to attend a Big Bike Film Night New Zealand screening.
The 2025 treasure chest of films includes:-
- an exhilarating film that redefines what’s possible on a gravel bike on technically challenging terrains
- a heartwarming documentary that explores the importance of getting outside, no matter where one is on life’s journey
- an uplifting film that follows a group of local bike and snow enthusiasts from Wānaka, who have the desire to bring positive social change to their local community through an annual “bikepack” to the local Ski Resort with all their gear
- a celebration of grit, camaraderie, and the beauty of “Type 2 Fun”, this film is an ode to the ride, not the finish line
- an inspiring mountain bike ride through back country Queenstown that is both poetic and meaningful
- a life-changing experience for a group of friends who undertake a trip to a bothie (hut) in the Highlands of Scotland to show what can be achieved by people with disabilities in relation to having adventures
- a film that celebrates the art of “winging it” and how travelling by bicycle and the power of exploration can obliterate preconceptions and contribute to understanding others
- and a classic Kiwi story of a young trailblazer participating in a gruelling six-day mountain bike rally, exploring his boundaries with his own signature entirely unsupported style -fueled by a penchant for chocolate milk
ALL in the mix!
