You’ll manage to find plenty of riding spots every weekend anywhere around New Zealand.

Search www.trademe.co.nz
That’s NZ’s version of ebay, you can search for anything on there, including cars and motorbikes. So flick through that. That’s how most used bikes and cars are sold around the country.

Also look at www.silverbullet.co.nz and search under the event tab to find any trail rides or motocross events that are happening around the country.

And there are plenty of open tracks everywhere you go, I’m not familiar with south island tracks but someone else I’m sure will point you in the right direction.

You will want a van in NZ, perfect for getting changed in when it's cold. Back flips is in timaru and there is tracks in mosgiel and supercross in Winton. I highly recommend doing some snowboarding and mountain biking down there!
Let me know if you are in the North Island, theres about 10 tracks 30 mins drive from my house

Hey mate
Riding in and around queenstown is unreal, massive amounts of public access land for XC riding, closest track is 45 mins and is so so
2nd hand market is rubbish in queenstown better to look in christchurch on the way through
Winter is pretty gnarly down this way, and a lot of the riding is at or above the snowline, get into snowboarding or skiing and buy your season pass now as the price goes up substantially every month until season starts
Search queenstown motocross on facebook

There is plenty of racing in the bottom of the South Island , with the Southern Mx series With multiple rounds 2-3 hours from Queenstown , also the southern dirt bike riders run a lot of meetings in Southland probably 1 hour from Queenstown , and there is plenty of trail riding to be had closer than that as well

Check out trademe.co.nz for used bikes. Join the FB group "moto garage nz" and tell everyone where your from and what you want to do - Kiwis will come out of the woodwork to help you out and give you pointers. We are good like that. Try and travel to the north island while you are here - As rotoholic said - in the central north island there are hundreds of mx tracks.

I’m in Christchurch, if you need any help etc let me know.

You will most likely fly into Auckland ( north island ) by far the biggest population base .
So best choice of vans and motorcycle s to buy from .

Driving to Queenstown no big deal compared to USA distances ,including the ferry and a good way to save on buy price and see the country too.

If you need help place to stay to buy van / bike give me a yell.
