These guys are all champs in my books. Look at those bike. Sizes L and XL, weak suspension/ no rear shock, seat post raised way up, tires small and so on but they are the ones who brought the sport to where it is today. Thanks dudes

I am so thankful for all the advancements in MTB technology and techniques looking at this. Salute to the pioneers and innovators.

Grundig Cup, Stevens Cup, Kirchzarten,Kaprun.Da ging das noch richtig ab.Ich war als Amateur dabei und wenn mir heute meine Knie weh tun...ich weiß warum 😂 Narben an Schienbein und Knie,Knöchel an den Händen voller Narben...das war es mir wert.Danke das ich dabei sein durfte mit den ganzen Verrückten.Wenn ich mir das heute anschaue bin ich wieder jung.Nur ein Bike hat die Zeit überlebt.Ich habe es noch 🥰

4:23 a true downhiller, no brakes basically LOL

How is it possible to sent 100 guys racing down a hill without any of them figuring out that dropping their saddle might be a good idea?

Catcrumbs back in the 90's they might have thought something like "HEY, high saddle is a GREAT idea!" xD Jeeez, also the down the stairs ... even i managed them better with a woman bike back in the 90's as 12 yr old child xD Must have been funny times for them :D

+Catcrumbs In the 90's there where a lot of tracks with long pedaling sections. Sometimes even uphill sections. So it has always been a descision how much you will lose on the downhill with a high seat post or loose at the pedaling section with a low seat post.

Vintage riding style. No one did knew better at this times… All todays riding techniques developed during 1990-ties… ;) And in XC/Olympic they still ride hardtail without dropper seat post.

There was a lot of pedaling sections back in the day. No dropper posts, no quick release clamp, no time to change the height in a race.

Those Magnificent Men And Their Flying Machines !!! True Heroes. True Bikes!

I think this is a good example of how cameras smooth out obstacles

Damn, so many neon spills! This must be wildly steeper than it looks, I've never seen so many tacod wheels before. I remember riding Whistler in the early '90s with a 1 inch travel fork and all 4 fingers pulling on those damn canti brakes, forearms so sore...

Respect to all of them. Low quality brakes, frame, components, no sprung fork, lower quality equipment...ahhh, real adventure.

20 years ago, these were probably top technology in bikes. Crazy to think that in another 20, we will probably be looking at mountain bikes from today thinking how ridiculously lowbrow the technology is too.

Watching this makes you understand modern MTB geometry.

oh ja... schön zu sehen das es so ein Video hier gibt. Ist wie eine Zeitreise. Damals... ja damals...

OMG, these are some of the GNARLIEST crashes i've ever seen...all in one place haha!

this is hardcore, today riders are so spoiled.

Wow, I never knew a fire road could be so tough, but I guess with the technology of the time it makes sense 😆

Kann mich selber erinnern auf meinem Univega „Racebike“ mit 150mm Vorbau und abgesägtem 40cm breitem Lenker waren Abfahrten ein Eiertanz. Jede Treppe war eine Herausforderung, weil man unablässig das Gefühl hatte über den Lenker zu fliegen. Die Geometrien waren damals ein kompletter Irrweg, aber man kannte es nicht anders und es galt als Hardcore, halb liegend auf dem Rad zu sitzen. Heute auf einem modernen Enduro kann man über solche Fahrkünste echt nur lachen.

Respekt. Das warn noch richtig harte Hunde im Gegensatz zu uns :) schon krass was sich in 15 Jahren alles an der Technik geändert hat.

Those white tires some of the drivers drove were white Onza Porcupines. These tires go on ebay for 300 Euro each (often much more). I remember these tires well. On rain wet streets it always laid me down when I had these tires on my bike. Many scars and scratches on myself and my bike were a result of these slippery white onza tires ;)

Great pioneers.🤝

absoluter burner!!!

Wie stark!!; wo man damals den Sattel noch hängen hatte.

Bestes Downhill Video auf KZread

True... lowering down the gravity axis would definitely help. But i actually wonder that some of them were able to stand up and continue :)

I love this video. so. much.

Der Typ ab min 4.12 is der geilste!!! Bedenke das sind 18 Jahre Radgeschichte....und die Jungens waren hart drauf!!!

Germans+retro+eurohouse= hilarious I love the seat height and the way they get all angry when they fall off.

I love the disk wheel too

Die 90er

really shows how far mountain bikes have progressed.

I used to own one of those Trek 930s bike. I may still have it in storage somewhere.

das isses man !!! WIIIIEEE GEIL ^^

It just comes to show how the sport has changed in the last 20 years. You could do all of this track on a unicycle if you wanted to!

Tja stimmt. Bist schon mal in Kaprun gefahren . Siehe start des Vids. Die ersten paar km waren Forststraßen.. also treten bremsen und treten , dann wurde es erst technischer . Dann gab es sogar eine leichte bergauf Passage ...

Rigid forks and the RS Judy DH FTW!

Clipless pedals would have helped a lot. Great video, thank you.

*OMG* ... lauter Wahnsinnige...! ^^

yea man thats crazy ^^ with these old bikes it is realy hard XD

der typ bei 5.43 versucht nen barspin hinzulegen. zum glück fährt er nur in eishockeyasrüstung. finde ich sehr vernünftig. super video, hat mich sehr unterhalten ;)

verschleiß war schon ganz schön hoch, aber echt hammer das sich die da so runterstürtzten. zieh ich doch glatt meinen helm

best Dh video 2017

saugeil

Yeah, colours of their suits are beautiful ;D. I think man in 1:00 simply lost control in half of the slope and cannot brake efficiently ;)

Could be, but it's a combination of speed and terrain. These guys appear to be riding completely rigid frames, so at 20mph+ and roots/rocks/ruts are going to be flying at you pretty fast with nothing to absorb the impact, which makes for some pretty spectacular endos and whatnot.

this is legendary

diese outfits:D

Make it Funny but its Old School DownHill hahaha great !

Ich glaube der Fahrer bei 0:47 hat eine Federgabel, weil beim bremsen sieht man wie sie federt. Aber ansonsten knallhart die Jungs!

i have never laughed more at a video in my life!!! lol Most of them must hav never heard of brakes!!!XD

It's crazy how easy these things break.. That hill really doesnt look like much...

Ich überlege mir gerade ein solches Bike zu kaufen und dann die ganzen Trails abzufahren bis entweder ich oder das Bike den Geist aufgibt. Wäre sicherlich einen neue Herausforderung :-)

HIGH SEAT HILARITY'S....I'd sure a shit stopped to lose a second and make Up way More by rippin that Simple Trail to shreds...2021....but been downhillin since 86' Mamoth California days...

Zur der Zeit bin ich noch 3 Gang Shimano-Narbenschaltung gefahren. Jetzt fahr ich Fully, damals undenkbar. Hoffe ich flieg nie so auf´s Maul wie in diesem Video. Zum ansehen sehr geil und lustig.

like sam hill :D great!!!

Suspension forks are a very good invention...

Jesus, more gnar than modern day DH

haha nice if i had a modern high end downhill bike and safety gear back in these days i would have won..lol :D

Back in the day when most people, including myself wore dainese body armour

they all seem absolutely crazy
