Global Mountain Bike Network, style which he fails to exhibit at 4:10 when he wears his sunglasses on the inside of his helmet straps. But kidding aside he is a legend.
As he said, to be consistent, to have a clear goal and be as competitive as you can and try your best every time. Easier said than done of course. But it is a pattern of behaviour you find in successful people, they never give up and try over and over again until they find something that works and do that until it stops working, and the cycle starts over.
My Home Town!! Greg is not only 1 of the GREATEST riders of all time, but also 1 of the most humble and down-to-earth people anyone could ever meet. We really do have the most beautiful trails!! #goat #pmb #ridelife
The reason why Greg is the best is not only because of his great results, but he is an innovator and he is not afraid to take a chance, to risk something. The move to the V10 29er will, in the future, be a seminal moment in not only DH racing, but mountain biking generally. Before Greg, 29ers were for XC riders but it is his and Santa Cruz's innovation that revived the wheel size to where it is the go-to choice for DH, Enduro and Fun Trail riding. And to top it all, he is just a super nice guy.
Love watching Greg Minnaar race. Being South African, it is always such a bummer when he doesn’t win, and in contrast, always such a celebration when he does. Thanks for this video in celebration of such an awesome rider.
Always good to see a local rider represent us in the big leagues. Greg is a true representation of the South Africa spirit, hard working and focused. Yet always a chill attitude when needed.
I feel so proud. Just got into moutain biking. Just bought a Santa Cruz and then I found out about Greg Minnaar. Having watched a couple of video's of him and so many talking about why he is the greatest. Came across this as I was researching to get some tires. The assegai is allot of people's favorite front tire it seems. love it. designed by Greg.
As a South African I started cycling with names like Kevin Evans, Burry Stander, Sean Minnaar and ofcourse the Great Greg Minnaar. I'd really love to go to Pietermaritzburg and meet Greg one day
I did my first ever race at Karkloof. It was really memorable. I had a Macro special of a bike (cheap and a bit nasty) with double suspension as I called it in High school. This video did something to me. Thank you. Gonna go there again when I visit my folks in Mooi River, KZN Midlands - rock on! Go Greg, proud of you.
4:32 How he did it? It's incredible, he's flying. Greg is definitely one of my favourite riders. I think that he's an MTB ambassador if South Africa. Just like Maja Włoszczowska in Poland.
He's adapted over the years, so professional !!, so driven, fully rounded ( Has lots of fun away from racing that gives him a great life balance ) He is the Ryan giggs of the Downhill mtb world ( consistant,driven,never satified, full of hunger, keeps standards super high "A Winner " True Legend that's Greg Minnaar 👍🏻👌🏻😎🌲🌲✨
@@daz_the_cyclist8961 Ryan Giggs is the current welsh national football manager : but more importantly was the most successful footballer in the history of the game playing nearly 1,000 games playing from the age of 17 in the first team of Manchester United until the age of 40 & winning more trophies than anyone else while staying at manchester United the whole of his career & coming through the clubs Junior academy a true legend !! 🏐👌👍
I was just at the bar earlier tonight talking to my man Todd & Josh... Cog Wild Rides Oregon about YOU ...Rat Boy & the rest of the Santa Cruz syndicate about the trans Continental race last year in PNW around Mt Saint Helens that y'all raced. They told me that you & the rest of the crew were real down to earth fellas & they had a blast shuttling y'all around👍. GO SANTA CRUZ🤙 P.S. love the video GMBN & my Hightower LT🤗
Awesome video Greg. Been watching you for a few years and your style is so smooth and slick, make it look easy. 👊 To you! + 🤞 For next year and no injuries 👊
Greg has always had this style that is so smooth and flowy. Like water running down the trail. It doesn't look like he is going that fast because he is so in control, but believe me he is screaming fast. Also was that a VW truck?
What I would give to do anything as well as Minnaar rides a bike! There’s a lot of people that look good riding a bike, but Greg is just so smooth and precise, it’s more like he is the bike.
Oh, he's definitely one of the greatest - if not the GOAT! I couldn't help thinking of the poor cameraman trying to pan fast enough to keep up with Greg.
Do you think Greg Minnaar is one of the greatest? What do you think it takes to be an all time great?
Global Mountain Bike Network, style which he fails to exhibit at 4:10 when he wears his sunglasses on the inside of his helmet straps. But kidding aside he is a legend.
One of the greats!! Dedication, stamina, competitiveness, adaptability and most of all a true love for the sport!

@@ironore8677 true, when put my glasses on the inside of the helmet straps I fell and got a nose bleed.

well, that's quite a step-up in video quality for you guys. Good work
It's an advert, disguised as a gmbn video.
Yep paid promotion....
@@fillfreakin2245 still alot better
probably cos gmbn had little to do with it
Love the new style of video. Almost felt like I was watching a red bull video
because it is a commercial... like all red bull videos
We love commercials! Sorry, Commencal's...
Forgot this was a gmbn vid for a minute! Amazing quality. Would love to see more of these with other riders.
I agree. Awesome to get the more in depth content on pros
Suddenly I read GMBN as "Great Minnar Bike Network"
Greg Minnar's bike Network?
@@MrMrilikepie1234 you got it right!
Too right ! What a boytjie!
🇿🇦 Greg in his element. Some of the most legendary trails in the world. Zululand Midlands.
Representing! 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Solid video dudes.

GOAT, no question there. We miss you Stevie, I saw you there smiling in the background...

Minnaar's riding is smooth as ever.... legend!
"You gotta switch off to switch on." Thanks Greg, I'll hang on to that one 😄
Yes, that is a t-shirt right there! 😀
Greg is definitely one of the best and a lot of people's favorite.
The Goat
Cinematically speaking, this video is gorgeous. Thank you, GMBN.
🙌

"You have to switch OFF to switch ON"...like that. The trail looks amazing. Nice one GMBN.

🇿🇦What an awesome chap!! Looks like he has fun doing his 'job'... I particularly like the quote "you have to switch off to switch on..." 👍🏻👍🏻

Go Greg, proud of you.
New editing and video style!!! AWESOME!!!
2021 World Champion! Legend...
I also live in peitermaritzbirg and greg minnaar is my favourite athlete and the best
Can confirm, Karkloof trails are probably the best in the world. Amazing stuff, every day spent there is absolutely worth it.
What an absolute legend of the sport. GO GREG

GOAT
I wish that video was double or triple the length, Minnaar is just such a great personality!
Greg is my hero. I hope to grow up some day to be just like him.
No doubt about it one of a kind that will go down in mtb history
And still winning at 39! Today another WC win. This video needs an update 😁 GOAT!!
I think Greg is one of the greatest he’s just so nice to watch when he rides. Another reason why I like him is that he’s South African like me.
That was just so good! GMBN is simply the best!
to watch this video after he did it again gives me goose bumps
he is one of the best
It would be awesome to have more interviews about top riders, not just world cup winners. Great job!
Great sunday video again guys!
Great video great watching Greg ride ,and the view is fantastic.
Dude can absolutely shred.
What a top bloke
Great video!!!
He's adapted over the years, so professional !!, so driven, fully rounded ( Has lots of fun away from racing that gives him a great life balance )
He is the Ryan giggs of the Downhill mtb world ( consistant,driven,never satified, full of hunger, keeps standards super high "A Winner "
