Wicked.
I feel so fortunate now to have the bikes that we do
haha! I remember watching that years ago. Its interesting how what you think you remember and what you actually saw are two different things. I remember that riding being sooo progressive... now its comical..... great find thanks!
Nice vid! I dont think my seatpost will even go up that far!! And the bar ends, classic! BTW i thought skidding was bad technique
And head to toe spandex is bad taste...........what's your point?Nice vid! I dont think my seatpost will even go up that far!! And the bar ends, classic! BTW i thought skidding was bad technique
Looks fast; let's see a vid of Tomac ripping that bike through the Larches section at the '06 World Championship
oh how I miss durango. seems like it hasn't really changed all that much. Lot of that riding reminds me of test trax.
JT was superior to his technology.
Last time I saw Tomac riding DH was at the Durango NORBA Finals in 2003. Before he went up for his first practice run, I overheard him talking to a Manitou tech and saying that he hadn't been on a DH bike in "a couple years or so." Later that weekend in practice sessions, I saw him pacing with Kovarik on the nastiest section of that whole course. The dude has always been amazing, and if he put a serious effort into a comeback, I'd bet he'd be right in there with results like Jurgen Beneke had this past season.

dude that is test trax. that was him riding down hags back. i live in durango and it has changed so much just like in the past year that are cutting down alot of trees and making huge draining ditches now
it is funny watching that and then watching drift 3
25" top tube + 130mm stem = DH shredzor
he was still with Raleigh in 1993, looks like he's riding Giant in the vid.
I doubt it. He never beat Jurgen or Gachet, but he was always consistent. Now his legend will be greater, as evident by this post.
He is definitely the best overall rider of our time- that no one can challenge. He even raced for motorola in the mid 90's until he won the XC world championships.

wreckless
90% sure its '96....I watched him race several nationals that year and he was riding a bike that looked identical, Judy SL and all. '96 was the last year he raced XC full time (won a national title too), he focused on downhill after that.
