Vids - DH in 1993 and 1995

Gnarly Riding in France

Date: 2011-12-20



But by '95 the world had started to change rapidly. Note - may not be safe for work because of gratuitous topless bathing shot.

Thanks to Adrian Montgomery for digging up the '93 vid - which lead me to the '95 vid. Were you riding then? Maybe even racing?

BOOBS ARE AT 1.16 ON THE SECOND VIDEO.

For anyone interested, Steve Peat is riding a rigid Kona on our local course in the UK back in the day on this vid:

Hey Walleater are you from / in Shropshire now, I grew up just outside Shrewsbury and raced there in '92 I think or may be '93 any crashed out in the dual slalom and was the first person in First Aid tent that weekend.

I went for a run round Eastridge when I was last back it still looked pretty good.

SEATS TO THE SKY!

Oh those were the halcyon days. Bikes that barely worked, narrow bars for reduced control, downright dangerous geometry, skinsuits and neon lovely neon! We sure have come a long way.

Hi, yeah I'm from Shraaaaapshire but live in Van now. I used to race circa 1989 to around 93 with Titley, Collins Boy, Challi, the Blakes etc. Good times. I remember we built a jump on the dual course one year a bit big and nearly killed a couple of people. Apologies if one of those was you!

Sound like me. No need to apologise I didn't know what I was doing. Some familiar names there.... I moved to Van 3 years ago something do with mountains rather than hills.

Sure did! Here's a photo of Si Trickett who designed it:
