Trackside, the latest Shimano Originals short film by Anthill Films, uncovers the winning formula of one of the greatest downhill mountain bike teams of all time: the Santa Cruz Syndicate. After struggling with retiring from racing, legend and Head Coach Steve Peat continues to steer the ship into a new format this season while preserving the Syndicate's secret sauce. Listen to the full interview.

Steve Peat is a downhill mountain bike racer from Sheffield, England. Peaty has 17 UCI World Cup wins and 3 overall UCI DH wins. We meet up with him for a film project called Trackside for Shimano to talk about how his role has changed from racing world cups to now being a mentor for established and new racers. The Santa Cruz Syndicate team consists of Greg Minnaar, Nina Hoffman, Laurie Greenland and Jackson Goldstone. So we discuss his role with these racers and explore what the Syndicate is.

We start off by hearing how Steve Pete got into downhill biking and racing downhill.
