‘MaveriX’ is a celebration of off-road motorcycle racing, specifically motocross. This Australian teen sports drama is primarily set in Alice Springs, Northern Territory, and centres around the eponymous team as its members battle against each other and riders from opposing teams to be crowned national champion. Scott (Darcy Tadich), the son of a past champion, aspires to carry on his father’s heritage. He assists his father Griffo (Rohan Nichol) in the formation of the MaveriX squad and strives to be an ideal leader for his teammates.

These teenage daredevils must be concerned about more than just their opponents and the hostile environment. Their natural competitiveness makes them bad teammates. If they want to win the title, they must learn to collaborate. Here’s all you need to know about the season 1 finale of ‘MaveriX.’ SPOILERS FOLLOW.

Recap of MaveriX Season 1

Griffin, Cam “Griffo,” is a former national champion. The series begins when Scott wins a race and the father-and-son tandem announces the formation of a new team. Despite early skepticism, the team discovers three recruits by the end of the day: Jenny (Tatiana Goode), Richie (Tjiirdm McGuire), and Kaden (Sebastian Tang). They each have their own story to tell.

Jenny wants to show that she is just as good as her male counterparts. Richie, who grew up around machines thanks to his grandfather, is a fantastic motocross rider, but his parents want him to focus on his education and win a scholarship to a top school. Kaden has the best hardware in the majority of the races in which he competes. He’s tried several times to join Katzo, the squad that includes current national champion Lawson Tiler, but hasn’t had much luck.

Bear Wallis, a popular YouTuber, joins the crew in episode 2. After being caught in the city for a reckless motorcycle stunt, his mother, Tanya (Jane Harber), convinces the cops that he would behave from now on and brings him to Alice Springs. Griffo is first hesitant to take Bear into his team because he already has too much on his plate, but eventually agrees. Tanya has an MBA and agrees to oversee the team’s business operations.

Angelique (Charlotte Maggi), a local girl who sneaks into the MaveriX facility to steal food or gear, proves herself to be a fierce rider and joins the team as the sixth member. Scott takes over as team captain, but is disqualified for sabotaging Lawson’s race to protect Jenny. After this, the team, however temporarily, disintegrates. Everyone arrives in Adelaide for the MX Junior Nationals in the season finale. Each of the six main characters has something to prove to themselves and the rest of the world.

MaveriX Season 1 Finale: Who Takes Home the MX Junior Nationals?

MaveriX’s six members embark on their road to the nationals together. They understand that finishing in the top ten at the Territory Championships is the quickest way to qualify for the nationals. The squad even receives a sponsor at the start of the racing season – Barb Brewin of Brewin Auto. However, after Scott cheats, MaveriX loses its leader, and four members of the team — Richie, Kaden, Bear, and Jenny — decide to split up.

The team’s sponsor is also lost. Bear abandons motocross and returns home to live with his father. Richie agrees to compete in his school’s colors at his parents’ request. Jenny begins working with Barb’s team, while Kaden joins Katzo. However, none of them are overjoyed with the scenario. These four have already qualified for the nationals. Angelique soon follows suit. Scott’s chances of getting a job are slim as a result of what transpired. But he also succeeds.

Bear and Jenny return to MaveriX before the finale. The former finds he loves motocross and reconciles with his parents, but the latter refuses to listen to her new coach’s advice that she compete in female-only races and quits Barb’s squad. Griffo and the team’s mechanic Vic get involved in a minor accident in Adelaide. Scott is hesitant to leave his father’s side, but Griffo persuades him. Angelique is eliminated in the semi-finals, but her teammates and Tanya remind her that she performed exceptionally well for her first year.

Before the final race, Kaden removes his Katzo jersey to expose the MaveriX colors underneath, signifying that he has rejoined his previous team. Scott eventually wins the championship and the nationals, with Jenny finishing a close second. Lawson finishes third, and Kaden finishes fourth. Richie is ranked seventh. Bear finishes the race with flamboyance, remaining loyal to his genuine self.

What Happens to MaveriX?

Team MaveriX, with the winner and first runner-up, is not going away anytime soon. They have announced their coming at one of the best motocross stages. While they had no sponsors when the nationals began, that is sure to change after their outstanding performance. This is the team’s first year, and they have already surpassed all expectations. Things will only get better from here, especially with their current roster. Richie may not return to the squad in order to keep his scholarship, but he is likely to cherish the friendships he has made at MaveriX.
