How do you get a team to bond? Get them to share their deepest, sh*tiest stories with one another and let them figure out the kind of people they are calling teammates. Pet lion cubs, twirling guinea pigs and some Oliver Twistin.'

We're back with a fresh team, new season, and plenty of good times for The Syndicate Episode One! Meet Jackson Goldstone, Nina Hoffmann and Laurie Greenland join Greg Minnaar to form a new era of SCS racing, and what better place to kick things off than a classic Lousa trip. Plenty of new bikes...

'Nothing is sticking out the skin' - Lyle. So many mixed emotions in The Syndicate pit today; stoked for Luca, trucking hard into P3 after struggling with a wrist injury during practice. Riding smooth and being able to carry consistent speed looks to be the winning formula and we know he is the...

Conditions on the hill today were pretty primo, with the track doing a lovely job of drying up for qualifying runs. Fingers crossed the predicted drizzle stays away for finals. Qualifying Recap: Luca had a strong run and was able to chase the green lights down the track. Greg had a few issues ...

'My last win was in 2017. In the back of your mind you do wonder if you're capable of winning again.' 39 years young, Greg Minnaar is re-defining what an action sports athlete can do in the 'latter' years of their career, as he consistently progresses year on year, with a drive that's un-matche...

Next up in our @gregminnaar pump and tool series is Leogang, Austria, where Greg won World Champs back in 2012! 🌈 A man with a plan, Greg knew winning this race would set him up perfectly for the following year, where he’d have the once in a lifetime opportunity to race for another rainbow jerse...

Doubt kills more dreams than fear ever will. The 2020 Mountain Bike World Cup Season has been full of both and riders who could handle the potent mix better, ended up taking the top spots. While the Cross-Country elite wrapped up the season on the same track they had started it just a few days ...

Greg and Burgtec take you down the Leogang World Champs course. Tricky lines, autumn weather and a new bottom section make for a pretty wild ride!

The mixed wheel debate enters The Syndicate realm, with Luca Shaw and Loris Vergier embarking on a 27.5 wheel in the rear, whilst Greg Minnaar sticks with his trusted setup of 29 front and rear. Does size matter? Does fun mean fast? Is Loris going to try a 26inch rear next? Find out more in thi...
