A bit of social and sporting history...
In 2006, Rotorua hosted the UCI Mountain Bike and Trials World Championships.
It was a ‘paradigm shift’ for the sport in Rotorua and Aotearoa/New Zealand.
Our kaupapa is to reflect on that and share photos and video from a wonderful 7 days on YouTube and social media.
And highlight the mainly volunteer team who made it happen.
I was media director in 2006.
Digitising the ‘best of’ tapes from the broadcast.
20 minute, 60-minute Mini-DV tapes. A format no longer used..
They will be transferred to computer and a back up drive in digital format for editing and replay on Youtube and social media.
Highlights done 2 September 2025
Hi Stef,
The conversion of the highlights hour was a success. Looks pretty good after being in a cupboard for 19 years.
If you’d like a copy, can I get an email address, please?
It’s on We Transfer for another 2 days.
FYI: it’s rendered at 540p - Pro Res file is very, very, big!
