Interview: Giant's Carl Decker Spills The Beans On his Aussie Team Mates

American Carl Decker is a legend and stalwart of the Giant Factory Off-Road team. He’s been with Giant for over 10 years and is an absolute smasher on any bike he throws his leg over.

Feature_Carl_Decker-2 — Carl has had an Aussie on the team for over ten years. Is that a good or bad thing?

In those 10+ years Giant has always had an Aussie in their program and thus Carl has been able to spend probably too much time with three of Australia’s best mountain bikers; Jared Rando, Amiel Cavalier, and Josh Carlson. Find out how he ranks his previous and current team mates against important bike skills like cleaning, drinking, and crying.

Feature_Carl_Decker-7 — Josh Carlson is the newest member to the Giant Off-Raod team and his unique character and smashing riding makes him a standout.
