........the Scene from the start gate gives racers goosebumps, the start of the eliminator is at 11053ft, below it lies about five minutes of the most adrenalin pumping downhill in the world. (Jim Mcroy, Mbuk)
...The race is known as the Reebok Eliminator and justifiably called the worlds wildest mountain bike race. the top 40 racers in the world- 32 men and eight women are invited to race side by side in a double elimination format for $25,000 in cash.
From the word GO at the top of the 3.7 mile downhill, the racers only objective is to finish and beat his or her opponent. (Jim Mcroy)
.....Jason Mcroy. He came, he saw, he kicked their collective behinds all the way to the highly creditable second place.
Here he finishes his first run just behind the Yeti Pro rider Myles Rockwell.(Jim Mcroy)

Love the picture of them on the start line, what must have been going through Jason's head right then? Love the last picture too, sums up how biking, and racing, can people together.
