New Zealand is the place of MTB legends, and until I actually get the time/money to fly halfway around the world to ride there, I’m going to just have to settle for videos:

In the first episode of The Kiwis, The Perfect Line head out with local Downhill racer Sam Perry – the ‘Wookie’ – to sample the steep, tight and technical downhill, fast flowing single track and freeride trail-galore that is Christchurch, New Zealand.
