Crankworx Summer Series
The highly anticipated Crankworx Summer Series is set to make its return to New Zealand in 2025, bringing the excitement to the beautiful South Island. From February 13-16, Christchurch Adventure Park will host this action-packed festival, where local and international riders will take on world-class courses.
This year’s festival isn’t just for the pros—it’s a chance for local up-and-coming riders to race alongside national and global heroes on two purpose-built courses. Whether you’re competing in local, regional, or national races, male or female, this festival offers a platform for progression and a shot at stepping into the spotlight on a regional, national, or even global stage.
For the first time ever in New Zealand, we’re thrilled to announce an FMB Gold Cup Slopestyle event – a top-tier competition on the Freeride Mountain Bike Association’s (FMBA) World Tour. This event will showcase mind-blowing tricks, massive jumps, and intense competition, attracting elite athletes and offering significant points and prize money.

Discussion theme: Empowering young women and enhancing their mana through active engagement in initiative design, decision-making, and leadership.
Meet your panellists for the event!
We have three fantastic wāhine for our panel, and for this event the theme is: empowering young women and enhancing their mana through active engagement in initiative design, decision-making, and leadership. These three speakers will each bring a unique and important lens to the discussion, from youth voice, to systems & governance, to the in-between space of providers and community connectors.
Avin Khajehzadeh – Advocate for Refugee Wellbeing Having only recently completed Year 13, Avin is a remarkable rangatahi whose journey highlights the importance of empathy, identity, and community-centered support. Hailing from Iran, she has strong connections within Wellington’s former-refugee community, in which she has realised how crucial it is to create initiatives led by the voices of those we’re aiming to serve. Initiatives Avin has developed include local yoga classes for women of refugee background, and increasing accessibility of healthcare resources through translation into multiple different languages. She also recently received the Inclusion Award from GirlBoss NZ for her cultural competency project with Te Whatu Ora! Sionainn King – Neighbourhood Facilitator & former Youth Worker
Sioinainn works to weave together the strengths, stories, and aspirations of the people & communities around her, creating threads of trust and connection that foster resilience, belonging, and collective growth across Te Awakairangi ki Tai. Born and raised in the Hutt Valley, Sionainn’s background in youth development shows her passion and commitment to supporting and empowering young people. Through navigating the council space and interacting with a wide range of providers and community groups, Sionainn is exploring the challenge of enabling collaboration over competition, and centring the individual’s wellbeing.
Andrea Jackson – Regional Capability Manager at Nuku Ora
We’re very lucky to have another of our own kaimahi contributing to the panel kōrero. Andrea (AJ) leads our regional capability team, and is also a strong advocate for women in leadership in the sport & rec sector. Proudly from the Wairarapa, she has spent time working in the council and at board governance level, and before arriving home to Masterton and joining Nuku Ora her previous role was CE of Manawatū Rugby - the first female CEO of an NPC Provincial Union. These experiences have developed AJ’s passion and understanding of empowering more women in leadership spaces, particularly in women’s rugby.
