Video: Santa Cruz Syndicate at Mont-Sainte-Anne

The Syndicate had a bit of a disappointing weekend at World Cup #4, with injury, minor mistakes and the race winning machine that is Aaron Gwin putting paid to their hopes of bagging the top spot. But that didn’t stop them riding their socks off and paying a fitting tribute to injured pal Cedric Gracia.
