Although I would love to see him back with TLD.
I'd hazard a guess that it's a team sponsor change, as all CRC Team riders were on 100%.

The 2021 Santa Cruz world cup Youtube videos were extremely boring in comparison to years past. We all know how important social media is. Maybe that's why they are adding riders??

This! Bring back the style of "This Is Peaty" and the Ratboy era Syndicate videos, they were so good!

With Sam Hills signature 7idp pads would be interesting to see him on the rest of their gear

Would love to see more off the chain footage like in years past. The Ratboy antics were a hoot to watch! Even the wild Monster Energy / Specialized videos were great back in the day with Brendog and Sam Hill. Those are what I watched when I started riding

Unfortunately I think a lot of companies see more value in riders posting Instagram reels and posts than longer videos on YouTube that a lot of people won't watch. Think of the time it would take to record and produce a 15 minute Youtube video vs just chucking up a raw 30 sec clip on Insta, that more people will probably watch

It's our fault, our as in the social media consumers, the audience. Watching a 30s video has become tedious to a lot of people, it's instant dopamine hits that count these days. Linus from Linus Tech Tips recently mentioned that if he does not cover the gist of the video (the actual results of the tests) in the first 30 seconds of the video starting, he loses audience. The slow buildup to the final crescendo of the results is apparently gone.

Which is a shame.

I for one will be watching Neko's videos like a hawk!

Wasn't Tuhoto pegged for a Santa Cruz Syndicate deal a while ago?

This list of who wasn't pegged for the Syndicate is probably shorter.

Greg won't be around much longer. Also, Kathy was probably happy with the 3 lads and didnt want to mess with the environment that she liked. But she probably doesnt make any final decisions on roster...

Love it when people write Greg won’t be around much longer…… the same Greg that is the current world champ! just let the guy keep riding… he has a lot more years left in him. why walk away when your still a contender!?

Mondraker.. propain… there’s a few spots out there that were open. the kids a ripper… be interesting to see where he ends up. I’m sure the guy running the union team said in a interview that he was staying, so a deal must of come through later on.

Could Tuhoto be going to UR? Joe Breeden's departure seemed pretty sudden. Maybe this is a knock on from that.

They did some big Fox party. Search up #foxbackyardinvitational on the Instagram. Looks like a lot of fun. Pump track and pit bikes. Colin Hudson took home 10k for winning pump tracks after Zula slipped a pedal out of the last turn.
