Here’s another quick jolt of video inspiration from our sponsors, Shimano. What I like about this one is that it communicates something of the community and camaraderie in the gravity side of our sport. Steve Peat’s smiling face, in victories and defeats, tells you a lot about what downhill is like on the inside.
Trackside uncovers the winning formula of one of the greatest downhill mountain bike teams of all time: the Santa Cruz Syndicate. After struggling with retiring from racing, legend and Head Coach Steve Peat continues to steer the ship into a new format this season while preserving the Syndicate’s secret sauce.
Funny that I root for the Syndicate more now that Steve is running it than when he was riding on it. They have been good for the sport.
