The matresses wrapped around the tree at the bottom of the steps in the last section are amusing...

you laugh but that was me on my full suss yesterday going down a rutted descent (oh and without the neon lycra)!

Did anyone actually finish?

Did anyone actually finish?

I was going to say the same thing! Everyone fell off! They just looked so bad, I wonder if we would look so awful if we did the same course today! I'd like to think not.

Oh my....

more like a green than blue trail, but to be fair, 1990 was still pretty early on to be ripping down bumpy, uneven descents on fully rigid, thin-tubed, steel xc frames. I picture my Explosif shaking apart if I tried that. Cool video though, and very educational!

I remember literally being catapulted off my rigid '93 Palisades Trial during a very mild bit of 'downhilling'

God bless pivots, springs and oil!
