Picture Perfect to Muddy Nightmare | The Syndicate 2017 Ep. 1 7

From secret 29er testing at an abandoned NATO base to Greg Minnaar in a miniskirt, it may be a new Santa Cruz Syndicate, but the team vibe definitely hasn't changed.

It's a new season with new recruits! Go behind the scenes during the undercover testing of the 29er V10, catch Greg and Marshy in their formal dresses, and see what happens when the lads hit Lourdes and race day goes from picture perfect to muddy nightmare in a heartbeat.

Greg Minnaar, Luca Shaw, and Loris Vergier head to Lourdes, France for the first round of the UCI Downhill World Cup, but first, they spend some time in Italy testing the latest development of the Santa Cruz V10—the bike rolling on 29-inch wheels.

I actually do more of a push down hard and fast and let go quickly to see if the rear wheel jumps off the ground test.

I couldn't tell you, but I'm just glad they showed it. If there was one thing I wanted from this episode, it was a Marshy rear wheel slam. They more than delivered!!

I saw Loris doing a photoshoot yesterday, and that paint job on that bike is so good in the flesh!

Hearing Greg saying this is the bike I should've been riding 15years ago is just how I feel seeing these beautiful big wheeled flying machines!

And let's get Mr Peat on one maybe for a BDS run or a Masters UCI race there's a lot of win left in that man just give him a good weapon for the job
