- administration studies at the University of McGill in Montreal.
- In May, 1989 he skipped the ceremonial granting of his first
- class honours degree in favour of standing on the World Cup
- winner's podium. In a sport dominated by Europeans and Americans,

- Development</b>, collected the bronze medal in the same 1989
- World Cup contest. A native of Linlithgow, Scotland, Greg's
- passion for mountain bike racing inspired many holidays

- <p align="center">Mark and Greg, known on the circuit as Eli and
- Chisel, were fierce competitors before they became friends and
- business partners. Provoked as much by the prospects of the
- legendary climbing tracks in BC, Chisholm immigrated to Canada in
- 1990 and with Ellison, launched Xtreme in March of 1991.</p>
