Hauraki MX Team Pay it Forward Hauraki Plains College MX Team not only love to ride their bikes they also enjoy helping others out and over the past 9 years they have learnt to “Pay it Forward” and reap the rewards from doing it. The team have grown over the past nine years not only in numbers but in recognition for hosting events and people that they have helped along the way. Today the MX team still rides with pink mohawks (which beats duck tape and silver tassels which we had at the start) and raises money for NZ Breast Cancer Foundation at their MX events. This year the team of 15 have helped raise money to get 5 of their fellow HPC students to Nelson to play in the National Chess finals this October, they do this without moaning and all seem happy to help out.
