The Wright Line With Keegan Wright : EP2 - Cardrona

Dec 19, 2017
by Cycles Devinci  

Between Wanaka and Queenstown, on New Zealand’s South Island, all you need to do is look up to find the country’s highest bike park. Cardrona literally lives in the clouds, a gondi-accessed microcosm defined by its switchbacking singletrack, technical rock gardens, and seemingly bottomless vertical drop. In this second installment of The Wright Line, we catch up with enduro-overachiever Keegan Wright, who demonstrates a few key riding techniques on his way from the peak to the valley-floor door of the legendary Cardrona Pub.

This multipart series has Keegan test-driving his new Spartan on a few favorite trails while showcasing some of NZ’s best riding terrain.

 Damn he's fast. This would have been better as a raw video though, as watching these with the "mute" button on is just distracting.

 Is this the same place they filmed that "Follow Me" segment?
  • 4 1
 Nope, the segmemt from the Follow me is from the Coronet Peak. This is around Cardrona which is close to Coronet tho .....

 Some of follow me was at coronet but there was a fair bit on the dirt park downhill track which is the other side of the cardrona valley and looks directly at Cardrona. Trail is still there but access to ride it is not so easy to obtain anymore since dirt park no longer exists.
