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. For those who missed EP1, follow the link to our website.
