And you thought you were fast?

It’s good to get a pro-eye view of a race course, and even better if you can have all the corners, berms and drops picked out for you by a very casual sounding Greg Minnaar traveling at just short of light-speed (and thanking the marshals in mid-air too).

The next time someone asks what downhill racing is all about, point them at this… And if you’re up at Fort William this weekend for the mountain bike DH World Cup, drop by the Singletrack booth and say ‘Hi’. We’re looking forward to it too.

Chipps Chippendale

Singletrackworld's Editor At Large

With 23 years as Editor of Singletrack World Magazine, Chipps is the longest-running mountain bike magazine editor in the world. He started in the bike trade in 1990 and became a full time mountain bike journalist at the start of 1994. Over the last 30 years as a bike writer and photographer, he has seen mountain bike culture flourish, strengthen and diversify and bike technology go from rigid steel frames to fully suspended carbon fibre (and sometimes back to rigid steel as well.)

  1. That’s a 5:20 run and he makes it look so easy and smooth. I’m sure Peter Pllock lives in the start tent, he was there for the SDA, what a star.

  2. Who said Men can’t multi task! Greg is also known for his mid race shoulder surgery (purposely hitting a tree to pop his shoulder back into its socket).
