He soon moved over to motocross and raced for 11 years before his parents bought a bicycle shop and his path to DH stardom began. Greg was initially inspired by the rivalry between Nico Vouilloz and Steve Peat. He worked his way up to the Santa Cruz Syndicate team to eventually ride alongside one of those childhood heroes. Greg’s won back-to-back World Championships on the Syndicate, and is widely recognized as one of the smoothest and most consistent DH racers on the circuit. Greg’s personal sponsors include Oneal, Oakley, Kabuto, Oprtix, Five Ten, and Gamut. ABOUT LUCA SHAW Luca’s been on two wheels his whole life. He started off riding motocross at the tender age of 4, and got into BMX racing when he turned 8 and raced all across the country as an amateur. When he was 13, he did his first mountain bike race, and it’s been all downhill from there! ABOUT LORIS VERGIER Loris Vergier’s been racing bikes since he was 10 years old, and he brings two Junior World Cup titles, a Junior World Championship, and two Elite World Cup podiums with him to the Syndicate—we can’t wait to see what he can do. ----------- RELATED SHOW LINKS Shop via our Amazon Affiliate Link Shop the Mountain Bike Radio Store Get on The Path Newsletter Email List Santa Cruz Syndicate: https://www.santacruzbicycles.com/en-US/syndicate Greg Minnaar – “Greg’s Epic – A Tallboy Tale”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIjQxEOgqIo About Greg Minnaar: https://www.santacruzbicycles.com/en-US/rider/greg-minnaar About Luca Shaw: https://www.santacruzbicycles.com/en-US/rider/luca-shaw About Loris Vergier: https://www.santacruzbicycles.com/en-US/rider/loris-vergier #ThePathPodcast Follow Auk on Instagram The Path Bike Shop Website The Path Bike Shop Facebook Page The Path Bike Shop on Instagram The Path Bike Shop on Twitter The Path Bike Shop on Google+ The Path Bike Shop on Pinterest The Path Bike Shop on Vimeo Like what you are getting from Mountain Bike Radio?
