Video: Greg Minnaar Rides at Midnight in Åre, Sweden
The man. The legend. My favourite rider of all time. Down to earth, a nice guy and unstoppable! Makes old boys like me feel like we’re still be represented amongst the latest whipper snappers!

I am beyond stoked for this! Been waaaayyyyy too long! Hope any rider who sustained an injury heals quick. Is it just me who does Greg look a little more hairy since lock down!?

Forgot how emotional this was! What a flippin’ legend! I remember reading MBUK and seeing him on the front cover on a fully rigid Kona and still flying!

Brilliant edit. Mixing the falls with the successes makes it way more relatable for any rider. Ridiculously skilled guys! Not a street rider myself, but loved this. Tech skills!
