bigquotesWe're back with a fresh team, new season and plenty of good times for The Syndicate Episode One!

Jackson Goldstone, Nina Hoffmann and Laurie Greenland join Greg Minnaar to form a new era of SCS racing and what better place to kick things off than a classic Lousa trip.

Plenty of new bikes, people and paintballs to try out as the new crew settle in together as they build up for Lourdes World Cup next week!

 I haven't been this excited about the syndicate since the Rat was winning. Going to be a crazy season I imagine.

Funny how the guy/goat with all the wins isn't the one with redbull helmet....

 Rat was my favourite pilot... He was winning and made it seem like he was just having fun, crazy dude! Something must have messed him up really bad after that crash in Hafjell, or he didn't like the competitiveness, but I surely miss him! About Minaar, yes, indeed, I guess he is just not very keen on making promotional stuff... Because he would be a pretty cool athlete for their roster... He can surf, backflip a bike, etc, so imagine the content...

 He was running Clif sponsor logos on his helmet for years.

 @IanJF: Yes, but I believe that CLIF isn't as demanding as Red Bull in terms of content creation.

 Not official. I didn't see Greg pick up and slam the rear wheel down repeatedly to check the suspension.

Imagine he rides top 5 (or better) all season. His value to sponsors would explode.
