30 inches is on the outside of nominal for the 2Mhz SPI signal. CRC errors are likely in this configuration.
If you need to have a cable that long, USB is a great choice. The cable is shielded, differential signaling is used, etc. And it has the benefit of providing power even in a stage 2 roborio brownout.
