Keegan Swenson
Keegan is a mountain biker first and foremost and he's been taking names at the races for a while now. What some people don't know about Keegan is that he has a taste for the heaviest music and an attitude like a sailor who hasn't seen land for months. Which is the kind of disposition that fits right in with the Santa Cruz htSQD, the new team partnership between Velocio and Santa Cruz with support from SRAM/RockShox.
