The Syndicate is obviously not going anywhere next year, so here is an announcement with some of their plans for the upcoming 12 months, including who's on the team and what they've accomplished lately...

Steve Peat, Greg Minnaar, Josh Bryceland, Jamie Goldman and John Waddell make up the 2011 Santa Cruz Syndicate and they are ready for next season!

The Santa Cruz Syndicate line up for 2011 remains full of some of the most talented riders around, not to mention some of the funniest! We are ready to have another entertaining year with Peaty, Rat Boy & Mr. Minn covering the DH scene, Goldman in the freeride arena and Waddell racing endurance races in Australia. The Syndicate has had tremendous achievements with this group and we're keeping the ball rolling along with our loyal sponsors: Santa Cruz Bicycles, SRAM, RockShox, Avid, Truvativ, ENVE Composite, Maxxis, Clif Bar, Muc-Off, Lizard Skins, WTB, Crankbrothers, Chris King, and Five Ten.
