  2. The World Cup’s first trip to Lenzerheide, Switzerland was a smashing success. Making it look easy on the Steve Peat-designed track, Greg Minnaar stepped to the top of the box once again, taking his record-setting 18th World Cup win! Greg’s won two of the four World Cups so far this season, and sits in third overall, just 12 points behind Loic Bruni. Josh Bryceland continued his string of injuries with a dislocated ring finger sustained during practice, and got the finger re-located just hours before qualifiers. He put down a strong run in the finals and finished 12th, which moved him up to 7th overall. Watch the fourth episode of THE SYNDICATE to see how the weekend unfolded behind the scenes (including Josh’s dining-table finger relocation)! Click here to view the article

  10. It’s Monday morning. Except for the fact that it’s the first the day of spring – it’s still your typical Monday. The first day after a weekend. Really typical, until I get a call from Tyrone at Custom Bike Shop in St Francis Bay. “Pop by the shop later and come check out this Santa Cruz” Now, any Santa Cruz bike is something to call home about, but when Tyrone called I should of known there was something more to this particular bike. And man, o man, I wasn’t disappointed and neither will you be! Jamie Loots, the up and coming mechanic under the watchful hand of Tyrone put it like this, “All that’s missing is Greg Minnaar’s helmet with Nelson Mandela on it”. Spot on, because at that moment glaring back at me with angels singing in the background was a Limited Edition Minnaar V10 Worlds Replica Santa Cruz Downhill Bike in it’s full glory. The only other thing missing was it’s pedals. One of the precautions I guess you must take when you have a bike like this standing in your shop and idiots like me wanting to hop on and take it for a spin… There's a story behind this bike. It’s something about beer (lots of it), a bet, and money (lots of it). But I don’t have all the facts. What I do know is there are only 25 of these bikes ever made and what’s more there’s only suppose to be one available in South Africa and I guess it’s this one – proudly owned by local St Francis Bay resident, Greg Darke (I hope he has told his wife before she reads this) More pics and full story here
