We are very excited to be able to share the news that Trail Fund NZ has a new “1% for Trails” sponsor: 3Sixty Sports NZ distributors of some great brands including Banshee Bikes, Indentiti Bikes, Halo wheels and Sea Sucker racks. We are very pleased to have Bruce and the team onboard and look forward to being able to do even more for trails around New Zealand with this additional support.
The “1% for Trails” is a concept that was conceived for Trail Fund NZ by Kashi Leuchs from Black Seal Imports, distributors of Yeti Cycles, cSixx Components, Urge Helmets and Brake Authority brake pads, as one that the whole bike industry could embrace.
We are very grateful to both Bruce and Kashi for their support of the “1% for Trails” programme and excited that Trail Fund NZ will be able to support even more great volunteer-led trail work around New Zealand.
Please join us in saying thanks to everyone who gets behind Trail Fund NZ, you are all part of making it possible to do what we do.
