Video: Greg Minnaar Introduces His Signature O'Neal Line
Spring is knocking on our doors and the first shafts of sunlight have finally made it back to our planet. We're so ready to hand in our our skis and snowboards for the 2 wheeled steeds. World Champion Greg Minnaar and the Californian clothing specialist O’Neal have launched the GM signature series including his race kit, gloves and knee pads.
Greg Minnaar states: "I'm honored that a company like O'Neal, chose to go in a joint venture with myself and come up with a signature range that was based around the Santa Cruz Syndicate colours. There is no better feeling when going for a ride or sat in the start gate, that you're wearing clothing, protection and gloves that fit and feel exactly how you've designed. My signature line was inspired by a rider, for the riders."
Iris Kuckelberg, Brand Manager of O’Neal, is excited about this collaboration: "When you build product with passion there is no compromise. Together with Greg we have used the finest materials and craftsmanship to develop a signature line which fulfills the high expectations of a modern mountain biker."
Greg apparently is not only an incredible rider, he seems to have developed almost Hollywood-level acting skills since he started riding for Los Angeles based clothing brand O’Neal. Watch his new video for yourself!

(heard that the other day and thought it was funny)
"Hmm, definitely needs tits. Johnson! Think up a way to get some titties in the new Minaaar spot! We all know products won't sell even if they're endorsed by the best rider on the planet. No, some mosquito bite barely handfulls and a soft dumpy ass is essential to convincing the MTB consumer. Get on it!"
The riding was so sick (how bout the huck? can we get some alternate angles please?!), I don't see why they needed the cheesy story line with an average looking chick and Greg prancing around in his skivvies.
Also -- the moral of the story? Date women who don't ride; at least she won't take your bike when she leaves you for the next guy, and you'll leave more space for us on the trails when she forces you to stop riding so you can 'spend more time together'.
tbh it has to be said but from a marketing point of view and target audience this misses the mark by a loooooong shot
the girl is pretty, but for me i would prefer to see a girl rider, battered bruised and shredding it than a blonde princess like this - would have been alot more believable to boot
I personally felt this ad a bit satiric ! Classic porn scenario, classic "wake-up scene", classic "swimming" scene, in front of a "great"scenery... I laughed twice while watching this ad. First, because of that funny scenario. Second, because of Greg's riding ! That guy can ride a bike !
unfortunately, I still don't wanna buy O Neal clothes...
Perhaps some female PB members could comment weather this is sexualy objectifying woman? Or is this acceptable?
At least my pics of sexy woman are woman that ride bikes!
I mean, if O'Neal is trying to tell me that average-looking female UPS employees are attracted to this outfit or that Minaar wears very nondescript boxer briefs, then BOOM. Excellent work. Mission accomplished.
ambatt take on the world girl! Im keepin an eye on my bike.
I think he's got to have he's own series, ... he's got that dawson's creek haircut.
Ive designed some stuffs and sent some to Nukeproof( my fav bike factory), who knows they do some of them
LOL
