Keegan Wright is fresh off a status quo-wrecking 2017 season, piling on the enduro podiums and turning plenty of heads by winning the New Zealand Elite Downhill National Championship against a stacked lineup of World Cup movers and shakers. Here, Keegan faces off against some equally formidable characters—a pack of fierce Maori warriors. Their spear-wielding Wero challenge marks the beginning of a ceremonial Powhiri greeting. And passing test means a ticket to ride. It’s a blessing this New Zealand native puts to good use across Rotorua’s raw, rugged trail systems.
This multipart series has Keegan test-driving his new Spartan across a few favorite trails, while showing you some of NZ’s best riding terrain.

However... having 'grown up' hiking and biking in the forests that contain these trails I'd be very pissed off if everyone started taking lines like that and needlessly destroying the forest undergrowth. Maybe I'm just getting old (34)!!!
Where are you people when it's time to complain about corporate pollution?
Where are you people when it's time to complain about policy?
Where are you people when it's time to complain about air quality?
Even if Wright removed all of the moss off that one corner so the video would not show moss being displaced by an MTB tire, his actions would not have the affect on our eco-system that our dependency on oil destroys.
So, if you are using a combustion engine to get to the trails, pointing out Wright's 'mistake' is hypocritical.
Also, sorry but that song is forever going to be the "Magnetic night park segment" song now... it's just hard to top that stuff.
