Greg Minnaar is featured battling heavily for the World Cup and World Championship title in both 2009 and 2010 and narrowly missing out each year for both titles. Champery 2010, rainy qualifiers.

To get a closer look at these riders in their environments, Clay and Lawlor traveled all around the world multiple times. They visited Sam Hill at his home in Perth, Australia earlier this year for some filming on his local tracks and a closer look at how he lives. I remember a young Sam Hill sleeping on my floor in 2003 living the dream. Needless to say he is not sleeping on floors anymore...

Brendan has that smooth lazy effortless style that no matter how hard you try, you just can't emulate. From California to A-Line, Brendan likes to fly.

You have already seen a glimpse of Aaron Gwin's part in his behind the scenes segment, here is another tease as he breaks loose near his house in Temecula California. If you love high speed, big fadeaways, scrubs, bonks and the odd massive huck, you won't be disappointed by America's newest golden boy.

As winter set in the Northern Hemisphere, we made our way over to New Zealand to film with the loose and stylish young Kiwi, Samuel Blenkinsop. Filmed at some of the best DH spots on New Zealand's North Island, you are going to want to book your tickets after seeing 3MG. Riders don't hold back while filming, Sam had his two biggest crashes of the year (and that was after a whole World Cup season) while filming over the week.

I'm loving Blenki's shuttling service..
