I think they were Tank Bikes. These bikes are definately catalog though.

Hey, that is my line!
Any Dh bike with a top tube scares the poo out of me.
Which is weird considering that I have never even "landed"
on one. Maybe it is just a mental thing.

its because everyone was brought up on the classical frame sizing measurement of 'frame to crotch distance'...

I size my bikes by having my knees at the lowest point of the toptube when my cranks are level. I like being able to lay the bike down while still standing fairly straight...

You've probably never landed on one because you've never bought a bike with a proper top tube, 'cause it "scares the poo" out of you

I have ended up in a few places stopped, straddling the top tube either riding my Evil, my buddy's Balfa, or my old AC2. And in every case, I was glad I had some extra clearance...
