Jackson Goldstone and Greg Minnaar of the Santa Cruz Syndicate join us on The Inside Line mountain bike podcast.

 

We met up with them at the Fox MTB headquarters as they were deciding on their new race kits for 2023 and debuting the new Union shoe. Jackson discusses his insane huck off a bridge at the Andorra World Cup. Greg talks about breaking his neck in Val di Sole, Italy, 20+ years of racing downhill, going from a super long V10 to reeling the length back in, the 45,000-Euro Showa forks on his Honda RN-01 downhill bike and more.

No……am I hearing my ears correctly?  Have Greg and da boys finally(finally!)found out what TOO LONG is…?!!!

Very interesting how Greg found this out through his neck injury…and for exactly the correct reasons.  He’s the GOAT after all,.  It’s what us OG’s have been bitching about since  2018/19..that bikes are TOO LONG(too slack)...particularly for the regular joe out there.  Bicycles are not motorcycles; they require so much more input from the rider;  you just can’t sit in the middle between the wheels and go for a a ride(be taken for a ride) and expect it be exciting in a controlled (push the limit, find the limit and back off) kind of way.  The further you have to move your body the more physical everything becomes.  Which is fine for an elite athlete but I feel bad for the thousands of Joes out there riding bikes at least one to two sizes too big; pushing their front wheels and going down hard (without understanding why)just because the marketing departments have been pushing long/slack for too long. Omg.

Anyway; I’m hoping since the GOAT is saying it maybe someone will finally listen.

Why is it that they're on separately? *introduces drama, suspense*
