Wednesday, February 22, 2012 at 4:18PM Better Late than Never, here is the Recap with the best shots from the Valparaiso Cerro Abajo 2012 edition, with action footage, interviews and the final ceremony. As usual, this event is one of the most radical and exiting to enjoy live or thru a screen. Happy to have 4 Drift HD's on the top 5. For this edition all the riders were impressed on how much viewers was at the side of the track, and how they get crazy with any stunt they make on the jumps. Happy for Chile, this year the first place was for the chilean Mauricio Acuña, followed by Filip Polc, Cedric Gracia, Marcelo Gutierrez and Antonio Leiva, in that order.

Thursday, February 2, 2012 at 8:27PM
SYNDICATE TEST SESSION WELCOMING
FOX AND SHIMANO!!
Early season testing started for the Santa Cruz Syndicate with mechanics, engineers and riders arriving in the town of Imperia, Italy, for three days of extensive testing aboard the latest Santa Cruz full carbon V-10s. The bikes were decked out with the Syndicate’s newest sponsor products from Fox and Shimano. The Syndicate’s choice to join forces with Shimano and Fox proved to be a great decision as the test session was incredibly successful.
“Testing was amazing, the most productive test session I have ever been to. Besides good riding and eating killer Italian food, our Syndicate family expanded with Fox and Shimano. I feel this was a great start to the year and I’m looking forward to more positive things to come in 2012,” said Greg Minnaar.
The testing took place on the long downhill racetrack in San Romolo with shuttle assistance from Roberto Vernassa from Argentina Bike. The five-man Fox crew was ready to gather information from suspension testing using their state of the art data acquisition equipment. Spirits were high as everyone got started off on the dark chilly mornings while the mechanics built a bonfire at the bottom of the track to stave off a bit of chill. Riders were warm and tingly inside with big grins after the first run.
