I was at this race! So awesome. It was back when you would race uphill, downhill, cross-country, and dual slalom on one bike! I was young and inexperienced. I didn't eat, didn't drink, and crashed and hit my head in the cross country. I think I got top 20 in the open category of uphill and downhill. I also ended up in a Mountain Bike Action issue, for a crash in the downhill. 🤣

Bonnington's lost his strides!

Riding up the Pasini Highway at Skyline..... Those were technical challenging laps with tons of single tracks

2:55 Ned Overand of............. Holland :) ha ha ha Good announcing

His son may not be riding a bicycle, but John's offroad ability surely goes to Eli too.

54x12😂

Is this Julian Ryder?

It’s the “Durez” guy! 😂

My old local stomping grounds. And coming back after a few years away..... 18yrs that'll be

Classic race's. 1996 the year before I joined the British army

He was a Super Domestiqie. Not innocent in the least. Rode for the wheeled Narcissist as well. Lance boy!!

I've got alot of '95 and '96 races on vhs somewhere 😂

The 2nd race, Clipstone/sherwood in my local area 😂

The old advert from 18.40m 🤣🤣 We don't see them like this anymore in 2024

Tomac´s style on the bike is AMAZING !!

I was there, the men´s race was amazing, best ever in a world cup and last Tomac victory was simply amazing!

3 and half hours!! Yeah!!

All the epo'd and juiced up roadies crossed over into Mountain Biking because big money started to be involved. They ruined the sport. Up to that point it always had a very friendly layed back good natured atmosphere about it. That's why it was the golden age of the sport in the early 90's.

It’s 1993 and a lot of these guys are still riding without suspension forks! I was riding on Rockshox for 2 years at this point. Crazy!

Why can’t this guy say Tinker Juarez’s last name correctly. He always says “Durez” instead of “War-ez”. 😂. One would think someone would have explained it to him after the first time.

Yates a powerhouse

The moped sound omg 😭

This dude was my idol.

I just noticed that Yates, like me, starts with his left foot clipped in. Less than 10% of riders do that.

My God those bikes were hard to ride back then for this discipline!

Love the F1 commercial!!!!!

Is Yates speaking English there?

so refeshing to see such a humble,almost innocent guy wining in such a self-effacing way. Such a contrast to todays sportsmen who are arrogant and guarded in comparison.

Love this era of mountain biking. They look as fast if not faster than modern xc racers.

LOL those commercials.

ATX with RST's what a combo

Thank you for taking the time and effort to get this on KZbin, I love this era of mountain biking. Also, I'm really digging the commercials!

Anyone know who the guy in the tank top and camelbak, number 372 is? at 1:42

30 years ago, man time flies. I got into bikes in 91

🤘🏼

Are they riding faster here than racers would have ridden just 4 or 5 short years earlier? Either it's a smoother track than usual or suspension forks had improved noticeably.

they took the zwift bike design

Karel Camrda world champions amateur.

We need John Tomac and Lemond Bikes built in 1500 - 2000 range.....

ヤバイほどカッコいい

crazy how aerodynamics have come on since then. They had some idea clearly- skinsuit and disc wheel but shallow front. no helmet and no tt bars. Seems obvious now ha

what an animal! those thighs...

our xc regionals is the same has the 93 downhill world cup

Wha-WHAT?! A Lemans start at a World Cup? Super RAD!!!! :)
