GOPRO WORKSHOP
Kyle “Bare Kiwi” Mulinder has given a workshop providing some precious info from a professional GoPro Content Creator, including tips and tricks for capturing and editing content. This was an insanely informative evening – if you missed out, you are missing out!
Kyle has said he would be happy to run another workshop if there is the demand – email events@nelsonmtb.club if you would be keen to attend this workshop.

DATES
The filmmaking competition runs from 15th December 2021 to 14th February 2022.
Films are to be submitted by 14th February 2022. You will receive information on how to submit your film via email closer to the time.
Judging will take place between 14th February and 6th /7th April 2022 (Big Bike Film Night).
The Big Bike Film Night is on 6th and 7th April 2022. The finalists will be notified that their film will be shown.
CATEGORIES
Every short film tells a story. NMTBC and taangata whenua Ngāti Koata have decided we want to see you portray how mountain biking underpins our whānau values: Kaitiakitanga, Whanaungatanga and Kо̄tahitanga.
You can choose one of these three values to tell your story:
– Kaitiakitanga; Guardianship of the Environment. Mountain biking strengthens my connection to the natural world.
– Whanaungatanga; Sense of belonging and kinship created through shared experiences. Mountain biking strengthens my connection to those around me.
– Kо̄tahitanga; Unity, Togetherness, Solidarity, Collective Action. Mountain biking strengthens the community as a whole.
Ngāti Koata work really hard to ensure their land is available to Nelsonians for recreation, so you need to show us how mountain biking helps you live these values. There may even be spot prizes for use of te reo Māori and whakatauki in your films!
