@GabrielleShannon: " I'm making $86 an hour working from home. I was shocked when my neighbour told me she was averaging $95 but I see how it works now. I feel so much freedom now that I'm my own boss. This is what I do ,"

i watched all these vids for an hour, This is what I do

I love how the Syndicate's top riders are completely polar opposite of one another.

MtbSince84 (Apr 14, 2016 at 9:42)

Gotta give props to Minnaar's line: "Dylan brought in some great strippers from Utah." Heh heh.

"Straight in, No kissin" is the most incredible way to describe a tough start to a trail.

Ratboy, the poet laureate of downhill.

Great to see Peaty back out there. Ratboy f***ing loose as usual. Love seeing him in the Drink Water gear, stoked that he is representing a great cause.

Monarch87 (Apr 14, 2016 at 9:29)

Totally, drink water!

yeti951SD (Apr 12, 2016 at 16:39)

Sure am going to miss Peaty racing. He's the first big name in DH racing I remember. Hope he stays connected to the WC circuit some way. Anybody know what his plans are after this year?

Hobo1337 (Apr 12, 2016 at 20:02)

im sure he will stick around with the syndicate and go to the races.

glasvagas FL (Apr 13, 2016 at 5:22)

That Trek video was shite. Did they keep G away from the camera for a reason? Too serious for videos?

Scotty7447 (Apr 13, 2016 at 18:54)

Yep, you know Gee, way to cereal for videos. So cereal he was only in like 3 seasons of the atherton project and 4x3 or whatever the f. That video was super bare bones though. Pretty much just racing and nothing about the racers. Even Rachel was only on there for a bit, they definitely could've added more.

konamann FL (Apr 14, 2016 at 1:17)

looks like he's either too concentrated or too angry to talk, depending on the moment. Only seems lucky with the champagne on the end...

Willer82 FL (Apr 14, 2016 at 1:40)

Rachel was the only human being at trek video

Gilly009 FL (Apr 14, 2016 at 2:13)

I love watching these team Videos but a couple are not even worth watching i.e. Polygon UR (nothing but a riding video) GT (As well as Gee, where was Taylor Vernon also? I understand how serious they are towards racing but come on)

paulskiboard (Apr 13, 2016 at 10:43)

One of the really cool things about these team videos is that it gives you a better perspective of the course because a lot of their footage is filmed from a different spot than the redbull cameras. And Ratboys air off the final drop was so stylish.

Trek video was totally soleless! Athertons and Trek bikes seem to be a match made in heaven

'The Last of the Derelicts' what a beautiful turn of phrase by Mr Palmer.

konamann FL (Apr 13, 2016 at 23:34)

why didn't you put Wyn TV in? greatest coverage so far for me!

GOGRANDE (Apr 12, 2016 at 16:47)

love these. Kind of like a behind the scenes look at stuff.

GDPipsqueak (Apr 13, 2016 at 2:35)

Great vid. Huge mix of character, fun, technical jargon and craziness. Fun to watch, makes you wish you were there too.

northwestdhdad (Apr 13, 2016 at 9:09)

Is there an app that deciphers Ratboy's accent? Like an iPhone interpreter? hahahahahahah

hendoshotshots (Apr 15, 2016 at 1:29)

Northern, my friend, that is a quality english northern accent

jzPV (Apr 13, 2016 at 11:41)

@urteam to open a whine bottle with a shoe you need to put it inside the shoe and beat it horizontally against a wall. preferably a hard sole and it should be done with 3 beats

probikegeek (Apr 13, 2016 at 13:29)

Needles and Mick got 31th and 51th...awesome'th.

Derekhawley (Apr 12, 2016 at 16:43)

Ratty is awesome hahaha

nvranka (Apr 12, 2016 at 18:19)

what chest protector is rat boy wearing? obviously fox, just not sure the model? Can't seem to find one to try on in person, but it looks comfy

KevM66 (Apr 13, 2016 at 7:56)

It seems to be the Proframe LC a mx protector

estica (Apr 12, 2016 at 18:20)

j-grabes (Apr 12, 2016 at 20:37)

Whats the intro song for the syndicate video?

eurojuice FL (Apr 12, 2016 at 21:07)

What shoes is Minnaar running? They look like white Kestrel Lace, but perhaps a new signature shoe?

schuchard83 (Apr 14, 2016 at 8:22)

Does anybody know wtf Josh Brycebland is saying? All it hear is oweruisnobidsfjsdiobewbe ahhah eehhhh eheeh

Sick vids....shout out to propain for getting into the mix.

Willer82 FL (Apr 14, 2016 at 1:42)

I see in the team videos a lot of cool camera views...why diden´t red bull show them on red bull tv???

mielotxino FL (Apr 14, 2016 at 5:24)

I really love the syndicate team...

Footster FL (Apr 15, 2016 at 6:31)

nvranka (Apr 13, 2016 at 9:35)

Does the rat openly smoke at races or is that just how he acts/looks naturally? Sometimes he looks totally sober and had a serious tone, other times he is an absolute stoned mess (at least it seems that way)

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against him and couldn't care less even if he was sparking up at races (to each his own), just curious if anyone actually knows.

Ger09 (Apr 13, 2016 at 13:22)

I'd say he ain't the only one

Willer82 FL (Apr 14, 2016 at 1:44)

this is why we all love him

Tmackstab FL (Apr 12, 2016 at 16:32)

600 pound spring?! Just because Gwin can pull that shit off doesn't mean it works for everyone. Lesson learned I suppose. I'm pretty stoked on Minnaar and how much of a bike nerd he is, pretty cool that he tried a heavy spring for the sake of research basically.

skookumsalmonarm (Apr 12, 2016 at 17:21)

That's not that crazy for a Santa Cruz. VPP suspension designs always require really stiff springs

Tmackstab FL (Apr 12, 2016 at 17:24)

@skookumsalmonarm: Fair enough. Even he said it was too firm though. I can just appreciate his experimenting.

16 0

jclnv (Apr 12, 2016 at 22:18)

@Tmackstab: as said many factors involved in required spring rate.

I highly doubt a guy like Minnaar is influenced by Gwin's settings.

gibbon-on-an-orange (Apr 13, 2016 at 1:08)

I run a 600lb spring on my VPP M6 and it's spot on. I'd need even higher if I was hitting things as hard and fast as Minnaar does. Granted I probably weigh more than him and the linkage ratio of the M6 and V10 are different but even with a 600lber fitted it's still still super plush and sags under it's own weight. VPPs are wierd.

skookumsalmonarm (Apr 13, 2016 at 3:01)

@Tmackstab: I'm with you on that! Just thought you might be interested in the info. For example, a girl I know, weighs 155 lb. Max., and runs a 400 lb spring on her v10. I can bottom it out on flat ground, and I only weigh 180-185 lb.

Tmackstab FL (Apr 13, 2016 at 9:42)

@jclnv: I dunno man he seemed pretty miffed when warner interviewed him at that bike shop interview show in the off season. Just shook his head and said he didn't understand how Gwin got so much time on him at Windham. That's gotta eat at a guy mentally.

Bondy888 (Apr 12, 2016 at 22:40)

Palmer is bang on in regards to what he said about Ratty. This sport needs characters. I would rather have a World Cup made up of Palmers, Brycelands and Warners than of a bunch of Greg Minnaars! Less math, more point and shoot. Yeehaw!

Bennnnnnnybike (Apr 12, 2016 at 23:19)

nothing wrong with Minaar dude, but I agree with what ya said about ratty and co

i-ride-things (Apr 13, 2016 at 0:09)

minnaar is a chill guy, just more reserved. The guy hangs around rat and peaty half his life and still wins races. Serious blokes would go insane after years of those two haha.

alexhyland (Apr 13, 2016 at 9:40)

@i-ride-things: yeah definitely, especially when you watch This Is Peaty from 2013 - 14, Minnaar is a dude with infinite patience!

3 19

zixs (Apr 12, 2016 at 23:55)

Josh look so stoned and high, really at some points he is overplaying it. Yeah, being loose is good but this guy talks like $hit and he looks high all the time. Would be better if he is a bit more serious, but comparing him and Gee are total opposites...

3 31

BertRoot (Apr 12, 2016 at 16:04)

I got the feeling Ratty is losing respect for Peaty and the thing looks to be getting tired. Also they seem to have done a ton of change to the bike setup and looked like they didn't really dig what was going on and this was also reflected in the results.

jdotr (Apr 12, 2016 at 16:45)

Do you know anything about pre-season testing?

BertRoot (Apr 13, 2016 at 1:38) (Below Threshold)

@jdotr: Yeah but carrying pre season through to the first race when the feedback is obviously not that positive just seems late to me.
