Mar 12, 2002 1:19 AM | | I was cleaning my desk and came upon an old issue of MBA. Time machine from the days when a "downhill" bike had 3inches in the rear and you only looked "cool" if you rode in lycra and looked like you raced. Oh how times have changed!;)
Enjoy!
 
Sorry about the bad image quality, the magazine has seen better days and my scanner isn't much to speak of. |

I was packing up some stuff last week in preparation for a move and came across some pictures I took at Mount Snow back in 92'. Back when riders raced both downhill AND xc. I've got pics of guys racing hardtails with nothing more than shorts and a helmet.
No spectators to speak of either. A couple here and there. Show up to a Mount Snow race now and it looks like a NASCAR event pulled into town. Times certainly have changed.
Speaking of Miyata...remember the Elevation 5000? Man, did I have a hard one for that bike. Bonded aluminum...big, fat, lugs... mmmm.
Thanks for the memories. |
