We have been busy so this means updating and adding to our ever growing fleet, now with the largest battery skill saw available cutting depth of 160mm.

A new digger and trailer.

A new auger unit for the 2.7t digger.

And a long awaited stone burier, more information to come on this as we are not sure if this will be available for dry hire currently only available with 1 of our skilled operators.

A massive thank you to my incredibly generous and encouraging sponsors for making all of the above and more possible last year.

Rob and the team at Wensley Cycles thank you so much for keeping my fleet of Specialized MTB bikes in the best of condition to do what I do, providing me with top of the line Sweet Protection New Zealand safety gear and putting up with last minute repairs!

Phil & Laura from Southland Hire thank you for making so many school shows happen this year thanks to your sponsorship and for continually pushing and encouraging me to keep doing it. I’m also super thankful for the mini Bmx you provided even if it is a little dangerous 🤣

Looking forward to more of the same in 2026 and striving to represent these amazing companies well!
