The Santa Cruz Syndicate and SRAM/RockShox brands have been synonymous with one another for 8 years, from the inception of the Syndicate in 2004 through 2011. It is with sadness and great respect that we are parting ways in 2012. This has been an incredible… More ›
Truvativ continues to pump out amazing videos which say more in three minutes than hours and hours of same-same web edits. This one is a profile of Nathan Riddle, a SRAM sponsored Super-D racer. In it he talks about his racing not being as important… More ›

Whistler, BC. 24th June 2010. I will remember this date for a long time to come, and for two excellent reasons. Firstly, I got my grubby mitts on a Carbon V-10. Secondly, I had the opportunity to meet and work with uber photog dude, Jordan… More ›
