John Tomac and the history of his World Championship Yeti C-26

Thought you all might be interested in the most recent episode from the TPC Museum series. My personal favorite and the one I'm most proud of:

Just watched this, damn it is good..! So much history there, and all at a time when I was only a couple of years into Mountain Biking..

Truly seminal stuff..

Thank you @theproscloset ..

Tomac is such a legend. I can´t think of any other guy in any other field w/ the level of domination Tomac had on mountain biking. And he still raced cat1 road. Plus he could ride a BMX.

Just imagine if you were that guy that was gifted his C26 bike. An absolutely iconic machine.
I would love to give it an overhaul though - it’s sad to see the elastomers shot. It needs some TLC.

Wow - thanks for putting that up here. What an amazing group of people. Right people in the right place at the right time. Most pro-racers are generally an odd bunch, as the sport demands, but Tomac seems to have a balance of relaxed professionalism and kindness you rarely see.
